I love Nezumi and Shion more than anything. Trust me.

But their relationship was always secondary to the novels being a political statement.

This is an actual interview with Atsuko Asano, about her inspiration for city of No.6. She quite literally said one of her inspirations for it was the political environment in the USA, following 9/11.

For her to choose to continue this series right now, after so many years, is probably not a coincidence.

Their struggles are eerily similar to what many real people face in our world all the time.

I have a feeling there will be some pretty important themes in this new series.

I hope those who read it can appreciate every element of it - not only our beloved characters, but the reason they have a story to begin with.
