It’s a beautiful sequence that epitomizes everything about their relationship, and I’ve linked it below (in Japanese because it’s better in this case) for your viewing pleasure. At first, Shion is uncomfortable and unwilling to learn, but he eventually lets himself get swept up in the moment.

At one point, Nezumi decides to teach Shion how to dance, leading him along in a waltz. The scene that reinforced this the most for me was in Episode 5.

6 is full of many quiet, sweet moments between Shion and Nezumi that exemplifies how much they care about each other. It’s a good balance that allows their actions to feel believable because of how realistic Shion and Nezumi’s relationship is presented.Īs a result, No. But luckily, their relationship is dependent on their mutual concern for each other, and so these issues are short-lived and allows them to overcome their problems. Trust can be broken, and it takes time and communication to regain it. They are emotionally inexperienced with being supportive, resulting in saying hurtful things or keeping secrets and hurting each other as a result. They’re drastically different people trying to understand and learn from each other, and with that mistakes are made. These two are constantly putting themselves in danger for the other, and while it’s often very selfless and noble, there are also times when they make misguided and harmful decisions as well. Something that I really liked seeing was the ways they protected each other. I could talk more about how Shion and Nezumi’s change and growth is so important, but I’d rather focus on something else about their relationship. This is here because the art style is amazing and I love it. Shion and Nezumi influence each other a lot over the course of the show, but not all of their interactions revolve around No. When Shion’s kindness is tested and he commits acts of violence, Nezumi casts aside his desire for revenge in order to preserve Shion’s empathy for others that he so greatly admires. These differing ideals lead to several arguments throughout the show that challenges their morals and character. 6 should be saved rather than condemned to death, so he strives to find another solution. Shion, however, believes that the people of No. 6 was responsible for the genocide of his people. Nezumi wants nothing more than to see its destruction after No. Shion and Nezumi disagree about the fate of No. There, Shion has to wrestle with his desire to save his home with a possible serum while Nezumi has to reconsider his cruelty and desire for revenge. Shion nearly dies from the same disease that killed his co-worker, but Nezumi is able to save him, and he undergoes a physical change. Nezumi, having watched over him for the last four years, concocts a rescue and takes him to the “real world” outside of No. 6 after his co-worker dies of mysterious circumstances. Nezumi is able to escape, and Shion and his mother are stripped of their luxurious life style as punishment and forced to move elsewhere.įour years later, Shion is arrested on the suspicion of murder and conspiring against No.

Rather than hand him over to the authorities, Shion is compassionate and takes it upon himself to treat his wounds, and the two bond quickly. Nezumi sneaks into his room, injured and on the run. Shion and Nezumi first meet when they are twelve years old during a typhoon. Warning: There are some spoilers ahead involving the plot and characters of No.

I couldn’t have asked for a better couple in a more politically action-oriented anime. The world-building is very well done, the characters are interesting and inhabit many shades of gray, and of course, the romance between Shion and Nezumi is so wonderful. I binge-watched it in a single day and absolutely adored it.
6 was recommended as the perfect show to do just that. Ever since the release of Yuri!!! on Ice, I’ve been itching to watch another anime with good representation of queer couples that doesn’t fall into the offensive yaoi and boy love genres, and No.
