Many people told me that I would hate the ending, which was true. All in all, I'm afraid I enjoyed this much more than I should. Riki and Iason are in their own twisted version of love- nothing about it is pure or gentle, and I love that. I really enjoyed the dynamics between Riki and Iason as well- while I'm not well versed in yaoi specifically, I can say that many anime romances that involve even a fraction of this violence quickly shove the main characters together and say they have fallen in love.
Given the way that human society has progressed and is still progressing, it is certainly not unthinkable that the events within Ai No Kusabi could someday transpire in reality. This anime isn’t just an idealistic fantasy or a cheaply made porn flick, it’s a serious story about a ruthless capitalistic society which in some ways very much mirrors our own. 'The Space Between') is a Japanese novel written by Rieko Yoshihara. Naturally, Ai No Kusabi has a great number of tragic moments, and it would be wrong to have it any other way. The pot is stirred even further by the force of Riki’s old friends which include Guy, his ex-lover who is driven mad by Riki’s absence after he left to live within the elite society. It’s a classic Romeo and Juliet styled story of a love between noble and pauper, except the only way for them to be together is for one of them to be a registered “pet,” a sex slave who has undergone years of training to be completely obedient in bed, and have no shame about exposing themselves to others. The story revolves around a violent and strategic love triangle in which all of the involved characters suffer considerably because of Tanagura’s inherent political injustice.
