DURARARA Vol.3 Masaomi+Anri+Mikado. Also Shinra, Shizuo & Celty.

Note:
I did this feeling like this should clear up a lot of questions I kept getting. It's worth mentioning, though, that the Dollars-Yellow Turbans-Saika triangle never actually went anywhere despite all of Izaya's talk of a three-party gang war. Dollars still features prominantly in later volumes, Saika to a lesser extent, and Yellow Turbans

Wow. I'm surprised how the anime followed this very closely. O_O

What are you talking about? Anime changed why and how Kida formed the Yellow Scarves, had him find out Anri was the Slasher 5 novels earlier and threaten her, cut out Saki's backstory, put in a whole bunch of filler concerning the evil Yellow Scarves attacking the saintly Dollars and Anri, had Kida not care when he saw Yellow Scarves beat up people on the street. Had the action scene between the Yellow Scarves and Kida cut short, turning about 50 baddies taken down by Kida into 7ish (and turned minor injuries into giant holes in his skull), then changed his entire reason for leaving ikebukero.

Anime took Kida's character and destroyed as completely as possible.

I only know of the series through 13 chaps of the manga, the 25 eps of the anime, and the first volume of the novel series.

So how much did it change and why did Kida leave?
