By Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Baccano (バッカーノ , Bakkāno ?, Italian ruckus) (Italian pronunciation: ) is a Japanese light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Katsumi Enami. The series, often told from multiple points of view, is mostly set within a fictional United States during various time periods, most notably the Prohibition-era. It focuses on various people, 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. The first novel, The Rolling Bootlegs, was originally entered into the ninth Dengeki Novel Prize held by ASCII Media Works (formerly MediaWorks) in 2002, placing third to win the Gold Prize. The novel was released in February 2003 under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint, and as of June 20, 2011, sixteen novels have been released.
