Transcription
Works
Narita's works all feature a single thematic style, involving an ensemble cast of characters (each with their own viewpoint chapters) finding their lives intersecting with each other in various ways due to a supernatural entity, and more often than not getting into conflict with each other. Additionally, the first four light novel titles below take place within a shared universe known by fans as the "Naritaverse", featuring fantastical elements within an otherwise normal society.
Baccano!
Baccano! is mostly set within a fictional United States during various time periods, most notably the Prohibition era. It focuses on various characters, including alchemists, thieves, thugs, Mafiosi and Camorristi, who are unconnected to one another. After an immortality elixir is recreated in 1930 Manhattan, the characters begin to cross paths, setting off events that spiral further and further out of control. It is illustrated by Katsumi Enami.
