About this Collection

This first volume of the Saika Arc collects the opening chapters of the Durarara!! manga adaptation focused on the mysterious Saika arc, where a cursed blade begins to spread chaos through Ikebukuro. The story follows the interconnected lives of the city's eccentric residents—including Mikado, Masaomi, and Anri—as they confront a new threat tied to the legendary sword. Published by Yen Press, this edition compiles the early installments of the Saika-Hen storyline from the original manga series.

"Red Breath, Long Breath" kicks off Durarara!! Saika-Hen with a pulse-pounding mix of tension and mystery. Anri faces unsettling advances from a teacher and a chilling confrontation with a group of girls, while Mikado’s chatroom is invaded by a disturbing new presence—amidst a city where a slasher prowls and a reporter hunts the strongest man in Ikebukuro. Written by Ryohgo Narita and Stephen Paul, with art by Akiyo Satorigi and inks by a team of seven, the issue’s atmosphere is sharp and foreboding, all rendered in a cover by Masayuki Sato that captures the city’s uneasy edge.
