Summary: On planet Amoi, a great society has developed, creating a computerized city called Tanagura, ruled by supercomputer Jupiter. The populace is almost entirely male and is based on hair color; silver and/or blonds are the elitist, ending with dark/black haired as the bottom of society, often known as "mongrels". Blondies keep "pets", young boys kept for a few years, especially made for performing sexual actions for the Blondie's voyeurism entertainment. Blondies aren't suppose to keep pets for long or interact sexually with pets, but one blondie named Iason Mink has kept a pet named Rikki, for years and is rumored to sleep with him. Iason refuses to let go of Rikki, even with Jupiter's disapproval. Rikki fights with his emotions and society problems, unable to decide what to do about his old friend/lover Gai (Guy) and their gang. Iason is obsessed with keeping Rikki, and Rikki doesn't know what to do; fight against him or surrender to him.

Still reading? Donā€™t blame me, I warned you.

One of the oldest tales in this genre, ā€œAi no Kusabiā€ is rather deep as far as yaoi goes, showing a sadistic romance and the cruel side of forced love. The background story is well-set, dealing with interesting issues such as power abuse, corruption, Stockholm syndrome and the like; also, itā€™s a sci-fi/dystopia ā€“ not an all that realistic once but nonetheless undeniably my cup of tea :P
As the animeā€™s only two hours long however, (read more)

ai no kusabi is ste in a world where your social status is decided by your hair colour, and the "blondies" who rule together with an AI called jupiter have complete domination over the city; having pets (sex slaves) and living house slaves known as "furniture."
