Here we go~


The story takes place in the ideal city "NO.6" in 2013. Shion was judged as having "highest-ranked intelligence" when he was two years old and was allowed to live in the luxurious area "Cronos". 

On his 12th birthday, he met a beautiful boy called "Nezumi" (means Mouse or Rat) who had escaped from a reformatory. Shion protected him, but the Public Security Bureau deprived Shion of all his privileges and expelled him from Cronos to "Lost Town".

Four years after the banishment, a mysterious accident leads Shion to the secret of the city NO.6. Shion experiences a spate of incidents around him in which a deadly infection by parasitic bees leaves its victims to age rapidly. Shion's co-worker is one of the victims and Shion is arrested on suspicion of murder. While Shion is being transported to the Correctional Institute, Nezumi appears and rescues him.


Characters


:: Shion

Voiced by: Yūki Kaji

Shion was an intelligent individual who was on his way to going into the Special Curriculum for gifted students where he planned to specialize in Ecology, until his fateful encounter with Nezumi on his twelfth birthday. Although he knew Nezumi was a wanted fugitive he cared for the bullet wound in his arm, fed him, and allowed him to stay overnight in his room. After the following police investigation he and his mother were forced to move away from Chronos to Lost Town. He was stripped of his rights to the Special Curriculum because of his poor judgment skills in taking in a known fugitive (Nezumi), and his status in their caste-based society was lowered.

Four years later, Shion gets a job in a office for safety in a park where he controls Waste Management Robots. The job pays for tuition for his schooling, where he plans to go into the trades. A man dies of suspicious causes in the park and later his coworker dies of the same causes. Shion witnesses his coworker age rapidly and a bee emerge from his neck. Shion is then arrested on suspicion of murder. Nezumi saves him and he is forced to leave NO.6. Shion nearly dies himself when he is infected with a killer-bee, but Nezumi saves him a second time, though Shion is left with white hair and scars that look like a red snake curling from his ankle to his neck. After this, Shion decides to try to create a cure for people infected with the killer bees in NO.6, but is hindered by lack of resources and Nezumi's reluctance. He is polite and idealistic, and refuses to give up on saving the people of NO. 6.

He works for InuKashi cleaning her dogs, and is childhood friends with Safu.

:: Nezumi

Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya

Nezumi is a a young man, who lives outside of NO.6 in The West Block. As a child he was followed by the police,wounded, and by chance ended up staying at Shion's house where he is shocked that another human being could extend a kind hand when knowing there is no reward. He runs off the next morning. Four years later, he saves Shion from a police car and takes him with him to his home because he feels indebted to Shion for taking him in on their first meeting. He hates the City of NO.6 with an intense passion and is trying to figure out a way to destroy it. He is well known as an actress under the nickname Eve and is very talented in singing and acting, and dancing. His home is filled to the brim with books most of which are classic literature and plays by Shakespeare, but also books on religion and scientific journals. He often quotes these books on the spot (specifically Hamlet and Faust). He also knows how to deal with weapons and knows how to fight and has very honed 'street smarts'. He is a cynical boy with a dark past. His hate for NO.6 extends from his village being destroyed and him being one of the sole survivors.

Nezumi when he becomes Eve. He is very beautiful. ._. #speechless

:: Inukashi (a.k.a Dog Keeper)

Voiced by: Kei Shindō

One of the residents of the West Block outside of NO. 6. Inukashi (lit. 'DogKeeper') is a brash, and often dangerous individual who spends her time either renting out her many dogs as heaters during the winter or collecting items to sell from a contact within NO. 6's correctional facility. She has a very violent, volatile relationship with Nezumi but Nezumi still often goes to her to gather information - for a price. She cares about her dogs very much as was raised by a dog who she called her "mother" before it passed away. While InuKashi looks like a girl, there are hints that she maybe in fact a boy but the series keep her real gender ambiguous.

:: Safu

Voiced by: Yasuno Kiyono

Shion's childhood friend and a fellow resident of NO. 6. Like Shion, she's a child genius - her expertise is the human brain and to a degree, psychology. Also like Sion, Safu begins to show doubt about the utopia that is No. 6. She went abroad to study in NO.5 and asked Shion to have sex with her, which Shion refused saying he always thought of her as a friend, and to wait two years for him. She was taken into custody later in the story and is being experimented on somehow.

:: Karan

Voiced by: Rei Sakuma

Shion's mother. With Shion, she was sent to live down in Lost Town where she opened up a bakery. She and Nezumi contact one another through strips of paper brought by mice. She is believed to be involved in the creation of NO.6 somehow.

:: Rikiga

Voiced by: Masaki Terasoma

One of the residents of West Block. He runs a prostitution service which allows him a life of luxury in comparison to other residents. At one point, he wrote articles regarding NO. 6. He really likes Eve, Nezumi's stage persona yet is less charitable towards Nezumi himself, given Nezumi's disdain shown to him. He tries to be a parental substitute to Shion who he has a soft spot for given that he's still attached to his Mother, Karan, a former love interest.
