I mean, I’m a fan of yaoi/shounen-ai, so that probably contributes largely to the fact I enjoyed it, but I know there are a ton of people who aren’t comfortable with it. I’m not sure if I view it as a good thing, or bad. No.6 is listed as Sci-fi and Action, but there are also elements of Fantasy and Shounen-ai. At that point, he’s rescued by Nezumi and whisked away to the Western District to discover the truth about No.6.

After witnessing two people strangely die, he’s taken away by the Bureau of Safety. There’s a time skip, and suddenly it’s four years later and instead of studying ecology, Shion’s a park worker. This leads to being stripped of his rights to live in Cronos and qualification to enter the Special Course. On his 12th birthday, Shion hides and helps an injured Nezumi, a VC. Oh, and one last thing: if you doubt us, we won’t hesitate to eliminate you. You will live happily and peacefully within these safe walls, and you will wear this No.6 is a utopia, there is no poverty, there are no conflicts, there are no problems. NOTE: For my sake, I’m writing Nezumi, as Nezumi, and not “Rat” like in the subs, and Shion instead of Sion, like the MAL character page. Even so, it couldn’t hurt to try a sip, could it? But then again, everyone has different tastes and this just may not be your cup of tea. No.6 is a captivating anime and I can honestly say that after having just watched it twice through. Now, a long time after their life-altering first meeting, Shion and Nezumi are finally brought together once again-the former elite and the boy on the run are about to embark on an adventure that will, in time, reveal the shattering secrets of No. But despite knowing that the other boy was a fugitive, Shion decided to take him in for the night and protect him, which resulted in drastic consequences: because of his actions, Shion and his mother lost their status as elites and were relocated elsewhere, and the darker side of the city began to make itself known. Nezumi turned out to be just one of many who lived in the desolate wasteland beyond the walls of the supposed utopia.

6-gained a new perspective on the world he lives in, thanks to a chance encounter with a mysterious boy, Nezumi.

However, Shion-an elite resident of the city-state No. Many years ago, after the end of a bloody world war, mankind took shelter in six city-states that were peaceful and perfect.
