DURARARA!! DVD Vol.8 Gaiden: Izaya and Aoba.

[anni_fiesta]

This is the last part of the gaiden that came with DVD Vol.8. I'll do it in its entirety later when I find the time.

Somewhere in Tokyo, a street in a residence area

By the time the "boy" got home from middle school, the short hand of the clock was not yet pointing perpendicularly downward. It was going to take a short while before the sun was going

Wow, um. thank you, this is just awesome. O.O *waits for information and thoughts to settle*

But a question, Is this before the Blue Square's get screwed up? Or after the ballpoint scene?

[anni_fiesta]

Aoba is still in middle school here, so it's gotta be after Blue Squares got screwed up and before Aoba got to know Mikado.

IZAYA AND AOBA XD i knew they were similar, but now izaya even admits it! XD oh narita, you just love pointing out what we're thinking and make it even more epic <3

freaking.... izaya admits being masochist. HOLY SHIT
and is waiting to find someone to be his seme right? OMG
DIES

... yes my shizaya goggles are on but that's besides the point

Thank you for this snippet! Oh man... i've heard rumors that Izaya wears a girl school uniform skirt? (is this true >.<;;; )

"... yes my shizaya goggles are on but that's besides the point"

How can they not be when in EVERY conversation Izaya has, he brings up Shizuo!

...On a more serious note, I'm actually really looking forward to the triangle of Izaya/Aoba/Mikado, as similar characters that is. That's right, I've always thought of Mikado as having great Izayish potential, and having just finished reading volume 6, I'm feeling very justified. It's going to be so awesome.

Izaya got it right! Aoba probably did find someone who he would love to be used by! Well, Bosskado dominates everyone, but Aoba did basically decide to be used by Mikado. Izaya has yet to find that 'someone' so it's true he can survive on his masochistic tendencies. He seems more of a freak this time by exposing his intentions out in the open.

[twirble]

But they say this is before he meets Mikado...I wonder if Izaya will find someone.

[chibi_sissy]

Main point being that even if they're both alike, Izaya guessed it right by saying Aoba would find someone. Though, probably, the only reason why Aoba found someone and Izaya hasn't is because of what Aoba said. That he hates humans while Izaya loves them. That probably makes Izaya indecisive about who to chose. XD

. . . oh this. This was more than I was hoping for. Ahhh. These two. ♥ ♥ ♥

Thank you so much for the translation!

UWAAAAHHHH THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
This was amazing and really interesting and oh my god Aoba is simply my favorite character at the moment. I wonder what was he intending to do with Shishizaki, hmm.
Also, he hates everyone and hates to be used but he accepted to be used by Mikado... Does that mean that what Izaya said was true, or is Aoba lying to Mikado and hiding something?
Geez there's so many things I'd like to know.
Again, thank you very much for your efforts!
