Based on a series of urban mystery novels.
 
Crime-ridden Ikebukuro is a haven for violent gangs, the Yakuza, and home to Makoto Majima. To protect his friends, this charismatic troubleshooter mediates disputes among the warring factions—even fixing problems the police can’t. But when a rising tide of violence results in Makoto losing a loved one, can he ride out the storm, or will he drown in all the spilled blood that floods his streets?

This is another addition to the popular Ikebukuro West Gate Park universe, which features the young man Majima Makoto. Makoto lives in an area that is known for gang problems and delinquency, and it is currently dominated by two gangs. Their colors are black and red, and they are known as the G-boys and the R-angels, respectively. Makoto is not a member of either, but his old friend from school, Takashi, is the head of the G-boys gang. The head of the R-angels, which is a gang that only formed in the past year, is a mysterious dancer known as Kyouichi.
 
One day, Makoto is approached by a young video journalist named Matsui Kana. Kana convinces Makoto to be her guide in IWGP as she films for a documentary about the area. Kana may end up getting more than she bargained for, both in Makoto and in the dangerous area of IWGP. (Source: MangaHelpers)
