Ikebukuro West Gate Park

Makoto Majima knows the streets and people of Ikebukuro better than most police officers. He belongs to no gang himself, but works as a troubleshooter who mediates disputes involving residents, businesses, and the district's competing groups, calling on his friend Takashi, leader of the G-Boys, when a problem requires more force. His days move through fraud, violence, drugs, and people with nowhere else to seek help, always trying to stop small conflicts from becoming open war. That balance begins to collapse when a new faction called the Red Angels moves into the area and provocations divide the city into rival camps. This time, solving the problem means discovering who actually benefits from turning the Ikebukuro Makoto loves against itself.
