In Tokyo's downtown district of Ikebukuro, amidst many strange rumors and warnings of anonymous gangs and dangerous occupants, one urban legend stands out above the rest—the existence of a headless "Black Rider" who is said to be seen driving a jet-b…lack motorcycle through the city streets. Ryuugamine Mikado has always longed for the excitement of the city life, and an invitation from a childhood friend convinces him to move to Tokyo. Witnessing the Black Rider on his first day in the city, his wishes already seem to have been granted.

I'd recommend it for its Ikebukuro full of very strange characters and for how well all its stories end up colliding when you least expect it.
It's a good fit if you're looking for urban mystery, gangs, legends and a huge ensemble cast.
Unlike other ensemble stories, Ikebukuro is the real protagonist: a headless biker, a monstrously strong waiter and a manipulative informant end up connected by the same city.
