Japanese light novelist. He won the Gold Prize in the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize for Baccano!, which was made into a TV anime in 2007.

The fact that Gintama is one of Narita's favorite manga series should already say a lot about his personality. Indeed, this man speaks a language that's extremely similar to that of Gintoki's, which makes him a rather unique and adorable piece of humanity. As he wrote at his personal website that's been under construction for quite some time:
* Favorite style of death: I don't wanna die

There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).

It's also interesting to note that Narita studied satellite image analysis (computer science dept.) in university - far enough from a writing profession.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find english translated versions of Vamp! and Etsusa Brdige? I really wanna read more Narita, but I don't seem to have any luck with finding his novels :(

If anyone do know, can you please message/inbox me? thanks :D

I LOVE his works, he's the best!! i just don't like the fact that they didn't make the anime longer from baccano and durarara!! I really want to know what happens next, but i don't like reading novels online.:(
I'm still hoping those anime will continue ( even though i know it won't)
He's a great man ;)

Baccano!, Durarara!!, and now I found a bit of Vamp! translated.

This man turns whatever he touches into pure gold.

The man brings out the goods, I enjoyed Durarara! but Baccano! is a stroke of genius.
