Reception

Reviewing the first volume, Carlo Santos of Anime News Network praised the manga for its characters, the shift between different genres, ranging from "a slice-of-life school tale, an action-packed crime thriller, or even a psychological mind-bender", and the "stylish, sharp-lined artwork", but criticized it for its "lack of storytelling discipline", which could make the reader wondering what the series is focusing on. Santos concluded: "The story may be unbalanced so far with so many characters and subplots, but getting aboard that ride is part of the fun! This highly original, stylish work is definitely A− material".[24]

Chris Kirby of The Fandom Post, in his review of the first volume, wrote that in contrast to the anime adaptation of Durarara!!, in the manga is easier for the reader to follow the events and characters, as the readers control the pace, making it more enjoyable. Kirby concluded: "As far as introductory volumes go, Durarara is top notch and I for one am excited to see how subsequent volumes play out once a plot starts forming".[25]

Danica Davidson of Otaku USA, reviewing the first volume, wrote: "There’s definitely a lot of mystery going on in this first volume, and it’s written so that it’s unclear how all these characters will come together. The story is a little challenging at first, but Durarara!! has a number of good things going for it".[26]

David Gromer of Graphic Novel Reporter said: "If you are a fan of seemingly nothing-out-of-the-ordinary book series that become increasingly out-of-the-ordinary, Durarara!! is something you should definitely consider picking up".[27]
