Well first I'll ask my Grandfather if there's a dojo around(wealthy japanese grandparent in an anime setting? I'd say 90% chance of him owning one), afterwards I go explore Ikebukuro a bit to get familiar with the city, so I can find my school easier aswell.

So by default, he's an average japanese man. And won't give you money if you ask him because that defeats the whole purpose of a game.
Second, you haven't even left the train station yet. How do you even know where your grandfather lives?
Third, there is something called the internet. You can just google something and all this information pops up. No point in asking someone in your household if you have a computer there XD(JK, JK) (Plus, in this RPG, everyone has a computer and cell phone. You'll understand later)

Okay I concede. Also I've seen the anime and read some of the light novels so there's that. I shall leave the train station and explore!

(Awesome! You've read Durarara!! Whose your favourite character!?)
You leave the train station. Since Ikebukuro is a commercial district theres all these tourist attractions such as Animate etc... Which place do you want to visit first?(When you don't know which places to go, google is your best friend)

"Shizuo, you can leave the poor guy alone already." Tom looked at his watch "I gotta go, take care." He gives off a small wave before heading to Shizuo. He calms down a little and drops the road sign. The two seem to get along quite well(because he's not trying to kill Tom XD). At a further distance, you can see a woman/man on a black motorbike, s/he stops by Shizuo and Tom before showing him a few text messages on his/her phone. The biker then leaves and heads towards you but completly ignores you as it speeds past you and rides on.

I head down the street making my way towards where I'm staying, still glancing around for any "help wanted" signs.

You find a help wanted sign for a receptionist in a Hotel. There is also another help wanted sign for kitchen staff at a resturant.

I enter the hotel and see if I can get a job there. Since I have some charm, I think I would be better as a receptionist than kitchen staff.

I would add the food into your inventory for you but I don't know if you wan't the full loaf of bread or the 6-slice loaf. I also don't know what types of fruit you bought.
You wander around but then your cell phone starts ringing because you have a new text. You wonder who could be texting you at this hour anyways.

The manager tells you that your job training starts tomorrow and if you pass, you get the job.

I thank the manager for his time and head to where I will be living to see how it looks and what things are stored there.

You head to your apartment. There is a living room with a really short table and a small TV, one bedroom, a kitchen area with a mini fridge stove and sink. Inside the closet are two rolled up futons . There is enough space for more furniture later.

I lay down on one of the futons and try to fall asleep.

You set out a futon in your room and fall asleep. Since it was so early, you woke up a few hours later and by then, it's midnight. Your stomach growls a little as well.
