This. I’ve been waiting for this. A manga release I can get behind, get excited about, put in your hands and with confidence say “read this, you’ll love it. It’s different.”
Durarara is a mixture of everything – shonen, shojo, sci-fi, fantasy, urban, action, adventure, horror, psycological thriller, supernatural – there’s literally something in here for everyone.
At it’s heart is a story of the power of social networking and that we are all connected somehow – no matter how thin those connections appear at first.
