![]() ![]() I must admit that I haven't read much in the way of dystopian fiction before No.6. The novels take place in two locations simultaneously - the dream city No.6 and its dregs, West Block. Fast forward to four years later, where signs of a mysterious deadly outbreak start appearing within the city, Shion is falsely arrested, and Nezumi shows back up to save him and brings him to the "real world".Īnd that's the start of Atsuko Asano's 8 year, 9 volume dystopian sci-fi adventure. The story starts off on Shion's 12th birthday, where he saves an escaped convict named Nezumi in the midst of a typhoon and shelters him for the night. But all that comes at a price, as our main character Shion, an elite in this city, is going to find out. Set in an alternate near future, we've got a "dream city" called No.6 complete with the most advanced technology and medical, education, and entertainment facilities you can imagine. No.6 brings us into your fairly standard dystopian world. Spoilers for everything if you haven't been spoiled already. This is still a suuupeeerrr loooonnnggg review though. You wouldn't believe how many times I rewatched this MAD to regain my enthusiasm, though I can't say that's a bad thing. ![]() ![]() Does anyone still even care about discussing No.6? My care has certainly faded a bit, which is why it took me so long to get this up. ![]()
