He has done both great and awful things throughout the series. He is human thusly he is equipped for both great and terrible things and everything in between. Nezumi is just so realistically celestial. What I loved about the last book of the No.6 series is that the readers see different sides of Shion and Nezumi. I will have to be honest that I mostly read this novel to know more about Shion and Nezumi’s relationship and not the reconstruction of No. This novel shows readers what happens to No.6 and its civilians, including Shion and Nezumi, after it was destroyed. Since he survived the full impact of the disease, Shion trusts that he can caution and help heal No.6 of it and in that process discovers horrifying secrets behind the shallow, flawless No.6. He managed to survive on the grounds that Nezumi removed the parasite out of his body in the nick of time the disease, nonetheless, left perpetual scars and altered his body. Not very long after Shion started living with Nezumi, Shion noticed that he was infected by a parasitic wasp that had started tormenting No.

When Shion was on his way to the correctional facility, Nezumi rescues him and brings him to the West Block, a place outside of No.6. A few minutes later he gets arrested because he’s alleged of murder and for doubting No.6’s system. Four years later, Shion starts working for the city and one day when he enters his office, he sees his co-worker dead and a wasp coming out of his neck. Because of that action, Shion had to leave his affluent neighborhood, Chronos, and live in the suburbs called the Lost Town. When Shion realizes that Nezumi is a fugitive, he helps him escape without a trace. Shion being a caring guy, takes a misstep, and shelters Nezumi and heals his wounds. Little did Shion know that because of that irrational act he would meet Nezumi, the black-haired, wise, skillful convict.Īt that time, Nezumi was running for his life from the No.6’s correctional facility guards and when he heard Shion’s screams, he runs to Shion’s house to hide and rest. On a rainy day, Shion opens his window and starts screaming out of nowhere. He goes to school every day, studies after school, and talks to his companion and colleague Safu.

For Shion, the brown-haired, sensitive, caring, elite student, life is painstakingly choreographed. No.6 is about a utopian city, No.6, and the impact it has on two teenagers, Shion and Nezumi. Being a huge fan of anime, I watched No.6 because I heard it was a remarkable show.
