THE BOY, THE RAT, AND THE CITY
The classic dystopian manga returns in three 3-in-1 omnibus editions!

However, everything changes one fateful night when Shion offers an injured young man shelter from a storm. Known only as Rat, this boy is a VC--a fugitive living outside the computerized tapestry of city control--and helping him throws Shion’s life into chaos and starts him down a path to discovering the appalling secrets behind the superficial perfection of No. 6.
