Yes, I have tried reading it before (and yes, I realize that it is more of an anime than a manga)
I read the first chapter, then I stopped. I don't really remember why.
Because I had some spare time, I decided to try to read it again.
And I realized exactly how different the world of Durarara is from the world we live in, and I realized exactly how twisted it is. That, however, is not the worst part -- the worst part is the realization that we might one day become that society.
A boy falls in love with a girl's head. He loves it so much that he will kill others in order to protect it.
His sister is in love with him. She is in love so much that she will do anythings in order to keep a good relationship.
A guy likes to watch others suffer. He will meet suicidal people, make them mad, and then kill them.
That is the basic gist of Durarara!...
It is rare for me to come upon a manga that deals so much about relationships between individuals at this level. The plot is also extremely complex, showing with depth the lives of every individual.
This is one of those mangas that cause you to stop and ponder.
