Genres: science fiction
Themes: dystopia, future
Plot Summary: The story is set in "No. 6", a future model city in 2013. Raised as a top-ranking elite since the age of 2, a boy named Shion lives in an exclusive area in No. 6. On the night of his 12th birthday, he rescues a boy who calls himself "Nezumi" ("Rat"). Nezumi ran away from the city's Special Security Area. From that moment on, Shion's life is changed forever...
A more informative, somewhat spoilerish (but not really) Plot Summary follows. Highlight to read:
-------------------- Set in the year 2013, where Shion (Kaji Yuuki) is living in the futuristic utopia NO.6′s most prestigious section, Chronos, because a medical test at the age of two deemed that he possesses high intellect and aptitude. He’s grown up learning fundamentals until the age of ten and specialized in ecology since then, and everything in his life was looking up. That all changed on his twelfth birthday, when he sheltered an injured corrections facility escapee named Nezumi (Hasoya Yoshimasa) and was later discovered, resulting in his exile to the slums of NO.6, Lost Town. Four years later, he’s suspected of a murder he didn’t commit and sentenced to the corrections facility, but saved by Nezumi. Shion later learns of NO.6′s true nature, and the Mao Massacre that Nezumi and his highly intelligent forest people were victims of.

gg - Episode 01 (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=download&tid=226484)
The story took a bit of getting used to at first, and I really wasn't pulled in at all. By the end of it though, I already want to know what happens to these two. The boy-boy relationship is also a jarring change from our staple boy-loli girl(s) romance one, but also a refreshing one. As long as it doesn't turn emo.
