From the publisher:
Welcome to Ikebukuro, where Tokyo's wildest characters gather. Meet an ordinary boy who daydreams about the extraordinary. A naive stalker girl. The strongest man in Ikebukuro. A shut-in doctor with questionable credentials. A hedonistic informant...and the "headless rider" astride a pitch-black motorcycle? As their paths cross, this eccentric cast weaves a twisted, cracked love story...
