This type of twisted, unhealthy relationship evolves as a result of their warped society. While trying to establish dominance over each other they end up falling in love. Iason seeks to exert his power over others while Riki wishes to live his life totally free from anyones influence. ![]() Riki and Iason are not brought together out of mutual interest, or even one chasing after the other. ![]() Iason, the Blondie, and Riki, the Mongrel, are both muscular and imposing men, instead of the usual pairing of a well-built manly man and a boyishgirlish man pairing.Ī remake was done in 2012 which does not show the ending of the 1992-1994 version and elaborates more on the events in the middle of the first OVA. In a lot of yaoi, we have a separation of societal class, such as college students and high society elites in literature or business.Īi no Kusabi presents us with a unique setting in which there is a huge class divide among not just the main characters, but everyone, and it very much affects their relationships. The Blondies live in a clean, technologically advanced environment while those with darker hair, often called Mongrels, are forced to live in slums rife with violence. Ai no Kusabi is a haunting tale of twisted love in a world where ones status in society is based on the color of their hair.
