"That's why I'm Here." To face the past and protect the present, Masaomi Kida, leader of the Yellow Scarves, heads to Izaya's apartment. His intention is to discover the true identity of the leader of the Dollars, but what he finds shocks him to his core! When the Yellow Scarves, the Dollars, and the followers of Saika all gather in one place, three best friends must confront the greatest challenge to their friendship...

The Yellow Scarves are threatened when an unknown individual infiltrates their hideout. Just when the Yellow Scarves have their quarry cornered, the Headless Rider, urban legend of Ikebukuro, comes to her rescue. The incident leaves the entire neighborhood unsettled once again, and the resulting turmoil forces Masaomi Kida, leader of the Yellow Scarves, to come face-to-face with the painful past from which he once fled...

"I'm not doing anything. All the Dollars did that together..." The holiday isn't over yet. The day after Izaya was stabbed, the scars of the recent incident are still fresh in the city. An eccentric couple wanders the town together as a sister keeps an eye on the girl hanging around her brother. Two women--one a child, one an adult--pursue the meaning of strength, focusing their attention on the strongest man in town. A set of mischievous twins don't bother to care about their brother. A yakuza clings to his past. Meanwhile, an underground doctor just wants to enjoy a vacation with a recently relaxed headless dullahan... Ikebukuro is going to be busy!

The serial slashings in Ikebukuro have come to an end, and Anri is steadily recovering from her injuries. But life is far from "back to normal" for Kida. Enraged at the random violence that has shattered the peace of his neighborhood, Kida and his middle school crew, the Yellow Scarves, reunite to address the rise of organized gangs in town-the Dollars, the followers of Saika, and now the Yellow Scarves. When all is said and done, who will hold the power on the streets of Ikebukuro?

Tension in Ikebukuro is at an all-time high with Toramaru in town seeking revenge on the Dollars, but that isn't the only problem... With the Dollars' members acting out, Shizuo on the run, and...

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin. A year and a half has passed since the end of the Dollars, and now a series of assaults has the streets in a frenzy. The culprit? Someone cosplaying a character from an anime set in Ikebukuro! Meanwhile, Yahiro’s group has started solving local squabbles under the moniker “Snake Hands.” Their latest clients are Yumasaki and Karisawa, who want them to find the costumed assailant. This string of incidents also reminds the Headless Rider of the terror wrought by a certain slasher not too long ago… When people become consumed by their own obsessions, are extreme fans and extreme haters really all that different? Ikebukuro is about to find out!

Straight and macho Taki partners with feminine and gay Goh to form an expert team of bandits hired by the police to steal from the mafia. In July of 2005, DMP introduced one of the most popular creator & ground-breaking series: YELLOW to the yaoi industry, cementing Tateno as a yaoi fan favorite. Finally, Makoto Tateno has created a mini sequel series starring her two beloved characters, which have never been published in print, until now!

"Yahiro Mizuchi has come to Tokyo in the hopes of starting a new life (and maybe seeing the Headless Rider), but the famous Dullahan has not been seen in half a year--and neither has anyone who has gone to find her!"--

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The Dollars and anyone associated with them have been disappearing one after the other. Is it because those who once called themselves comrades have decided to strike off on their own? Maybe it's because of a plot concocted by the adults of the Awakusu Group, the black market dealers, and the information brokers?
