About the author

Ryohgo Narita (成田 良悟, Narita Ryōgo) is a Japanese light novelist. He won the Gold Prize in the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize for Baccano!, which was made into a TV anime in 2007.[1] His series Durarara!! was also made into a TV anime, which began airing January 2010


There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).

Kanji names: 成田 良悟 & 成田良悟.

Reviews

[Genma496 · Rating 3 out of 5]

These short stories are mostly comedic and don't have all that much going on plotwise, but it was still great to have a way of dipping my toes into the world of Ikebukuro while I wait for new Durarara stories to come out. The idea that young izaya spent his time making troll video games is great enough to make this whole thing worth it.

[Baron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great novel; it was all light in terms of topics which is rare from Durarara but I found myself enjoying it, especially the later interactions with Celty and Shinra. The Vamp! crossover was also very fun, Walker is an absolute freak and I wouldn't have him any other way.
