>> EVEN NOW, I STILL DON’T GET

IT.

BUT IN A WEIRD WAY...I DUNNO...

I GUESS I SORT OF DO.

ANYWAY, ONE THING’S FOR SURE.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT

CHANGED MY LIFE.

BUT THEN AGAIN, NOTHING REALLY

CHANGED AT ALL.

YEAH, IT WAS REALLY WEIRD,

THE KIND OF WEIRD THAT COULD

HAPPEN TO ANYONE WHEN YOU THINK

ABOUT IT.

AND IT HAPPENED HERE

IN IKEBUKURO.

OHH. HMM.

AH! I’M SO SORRY!

I DIDN’T MEAN...TO...

I WANNA GO HOME.

DON’T LAUGH, BUT I NEVER DID

THE FIELD TRIP THING DURING

ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL.

>> SEE YA!

>> I’VE NEVER LEFT MY HOMETOWN.

I’M 15, AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT,

THIS IS MY FIRST TRIP TO TOKYO.

THAT’S ME, MIKADO RYUGAMINE.

SO WHY AM I STANDING HERE

IN FRONT OF THE TOBU-TOJO LINE,

LOOKING ALL CONFUSED AND

EVERYTHING?

SIMPLE.

IN APRIL, I START MY FIRST

SEMESTER AT RAIRA ACADEMY

IN EAST IKEBUKURO.

IT’S A GOOD SCHOOL WITH GREAT

FACILITIES.

THE CAMPUS IS PRETTY SWEET, TOO.

BUT THE REAL REASON I’M HERE IS

BECAUSE A FRIEND FROM

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WANTED ME TO

COME.

MY PARENTS WANTED ME TO STAY

HOME AND GO TO SCHOOL THERE.

BUT I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE

TOKYO.

>> MIKADO!

>> OH!

HOW’D YOU...MASAOMI?

>> WAS THAT A QUESTION?

SOUNDED LIKE ONE.

SO NOW YOU GET THREE ANSWERS

TO CHOOSE FROM.

ONE...MASAOMI KIDA!

TWO...MASAOMI KIDA!

THREE...MASAOMI KIDA!

>> WOW, MASAOMI, NO WAY!

IT’S REALLY YOU?

>> I SPENT THREE YEARS

COMIN’ UP WITH THAT ONE,

AND HE TOTALLY IGNORES IT.

I MISSED YA, MAN!

>> I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DYED

YOUR HAIR.

IT LOOKS COOL.

YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT,

I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE YOU.

ALTHOUGH YOUR JOKES STILL SUCK.

>> WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

IT’S BEEN FOUR YEARS.

LOOK AT YOU.

YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED.

YOU LOOK THE SAME AS YOU DID

IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND, BUDDY, MY JOKES DON’T SUCK.

THEY RULE.

>> YUP, THAT’S

MASAOMI KIDA, MY BEST FRIEND.

I HAVEN’T SEEN HIM SINCE HE

TRANSFERRED OUT OF OUR

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AND BESIDES THE HAIR, HE HASN’T

CHANGED AT ALL.

>> COME ON. LET’S GO,

GET OUT FROM UNDERGROUND.

I FEEL LIKE GOING WEST TODAY,

YOUNG MAN.

BUT WE’RE NOT TAKING THE WEST

EXIT.

WE’RE GONNA TAKE...

>> MAN, HIS JOKES SUCK.

BUT HE’S A GOOD GUY.

WE’D BEEN CHATTING ONLINE EVERY

DAY, SO I DIDN’T REALIZE

THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US

OR HOW LONG IT’D BEEN.

BUT SEEING HIM AGAIN NOW, FOUR

YEARS LATER, YOU COULD TELL ME

AND HIM GREW UP IN TOTALLY

DIFFERENT PLACES.

>> MAN, IF MY JOKES WEREN’T SO

LAME, I WOULDN’T HAVE TO

EXPLAIN ’EM ALL THE TIME...

>> DON’T GET ME WRONG.

HE’S STILL THE SAME GUY,

SAME BAD JOKES AND ALL.

>> WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO FIRST?

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANNA

CHECK OUT?

>> I DON’T KNOW.

HOW BOUT SUNSHINE 60?

>> WHAT, LIKE RIGHT NOW?

MAN, THAT’S WHERE YOU TAKE

YOUR GIRLFRIEND, NOT YOUR BEST

FRIEND.

>> OH, UM, WHAT ABOUT

IKEBUKURO WEST GATE PARK?

>> DUDE, CALL IT

NISHIGUCHI PARK!

>> OH, I JUST THAT THOUGHT ALL

THE IKEBUKURIANS CALLED IT THAT.

>> WHAT’S AN IKEBUKURIAN?

WAIT.

YOU REALLY WANNA GO?

>> HUH? WELL, I--I WAS JUST--

HEY, WAIT, HOLD IT!

IT’S COOL--I DON’T WANNA GO!

I MEAN, IT’S DARK NOW.

AND HEY, WE COULD GET KILLED

BY A COLOR GANG!

>> OH, COME ON, MAN!

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!

LOOK, IT’S ONLY LIKE 6:00.

YOU WUSS.

I GUESS SOME THINGS NEVER

CHANGE, HUH?

>> HOW’S IT GOING?

>> EVENING.

>> HEY, SETTON!

SO GUESS WHAT?

STARTING TOMORROW, I’M GONNA BE

LIVING IN IKEBUKURO.

>> OH, REALLY?

YOU MIGHT END UP LIVING NEAR

ME, THEN.

>> MAYBE SO.

I’M STILL AT HOME NOW, BUT,

YEAH, BY THIS TIME TOMORROW,

I’M GONNA BE LIVING IN

AN APARTMENT NEAR SUNSHINE.

>> WELCOME TO IKEBUKURO.

>> WOW!

A WORLD THAT I’D ONLY SEEN IN

MANGA AND ONLINE IS RIGHT HERE

IN FRONT OF ME.

IT’S COOLER THAN KAMISAKURA

MACHI-GINZA!

>> THEN I GUESS I

GOTTA TAKE YOU TO SHIBUYA

SOMETIME.

BUT IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

CROWDS, THE HORSE TRACK’S

PROBABLY BETTER.

>> HEH!

>> THERE AREN’T TOO MANY COLOR

GANGS ANYMORE.

BUNCH OF FLASHY ONES WERE

HANGING AROUND LAST YEAR,

BUT THEY CLASHED WITH THE GANGS

IN SAITAMA, AND MOST OF ’EM GOT

BUSTED.

EVER SINCE THEN, YOU DON’T SEE

PEOPLE STANDING AROUND WEARING

THE SAME COLOR CLOTHES ANYMORE.

I GUESS EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IF

THEY DO THAT, THE COPS WOULD BE

AFTER THEM IN A SEC.

>> DOES THAT MEAN IKEBUKURO’S

A SAFE CITY NOW?

>> UH, YEAH, RIGHT!

I MEAN, I’M NO EXPERT OR

ANYTHING, BUT I WOULDN’T REALLY

CONSIDER THIS PLACE SAFE.

THERE’S WORSE THINGS HERE

THAN GANGS, YOU KNOW?

BE CAREFUL.

>> OH, I SEE.

>> ANYWAY, THIS IS 60 STORY

STREET, AND THERE’S ANOTHER ROAD

CALLED SUNSHINE STREET.

>> I WONDER IF THEY

MADE SUNSHINE STREET FIRST.

UH! SORRY!

I WASN’T PAYING ATTENTION!

>> both: HMM.

>> OH, HEY, MASAOMI.

>> OH, HEY, ERIKA, WALKER.

WHAT’S NEW?
