I look 'em up every time I read a volume (just messed up between Shiki and Akabayashi).

Spoiler for past few volumes:

• Kasane "gave" Anri's mom Saika, and Anri's mom cut Akabayashi, one of the top fighters in Awakusu Group, but was unable to control him (he became madly in love with Anri's mom as a result ...).
• Varona's this new Russian assassin blonde that became very interested in Shizuo after he screwed up her mission; don't remember that well, but I believe she's the daughter of the leader of the group that the Russia sushi duo used to work for.
• Aoba's this asshole who used to lead Blue Square (the group that injured Masaomi's girlfriend in the anime, but Aoba wasn't the leader at the time), whom now has this kinda mutual parasitic (not really symbiotic) relationship with Mikado.
• Tsukumoya is this mysterious Dollars guy who seems to have info on everybody, and is like the only guy who seemed to be able to "out-info" Izaya. He also found Shinra's dad's twitter account .....................

Anri x Haruna
Anri x Kasane
Dotachin x Chikage
Izaya x Shinzuo
Kasane x Shinra (Celty got dumped wwwwwwwww no)

Spoiler for no, really:

Mikado x Anri
Masaomi x Saki
Seiji x Mika
Kasuka x Ruri
Chikage x his harem
Mikage x Izaya ???????????
Akane x Shizuo (probably not)
Varona x Shizuo (probably not but more likely than above)
Shingen x Emilia (best couple)
Kururi x Mairu x Aoba (kinda developing to be this, lucky sob really)
Shinra x Celty of course

Spoiler for end of volume 11:

Shinra got cut by Kasane wielding Saika after Kasane kissed him on the lips in front of Celty, which caused her to go berserk. Technically, if Shinra can't resist Saika then ... (he probably can, he's more messed up than Izaya anyway).
