Mars v.6 by Fuyumi Soryo - 198 pages
A feminine boy, Masao, has a crush on Rei. Rei brushes him away rudely, but Kira
befriends him and lets him join the art club, and Rei’s attitude softens a
bit. On the way to Rei’s apartment, Kira
and Masao have an altercation with some neighborhood toughs, and Masao freaks
out and beats them nearly to death, until he is stopped by Rei, who inflicts
some punishment on them himself. Kira
sees Rei’s violent, ugly side, and it scares her.
A cop lets Rei know that two years ago, Masao killed a
gang-member friend who used to beat Masao.
Masao reminds Rei that he saved Masao in a fight a long time ago, and
believes Rei is his savior. Rei warns
Kira to stay away from Masao, but he follows her around, and eventually shows
Rei and Kira his scars and tells them about the killing. When alone with Rei, Masao begins to show a
much darker, twisted personality.
Rei and Kira have an argument over Rei betting on pool and
not telling her about Masao’s past. Rei
accuses her of trying to be his mother, and they part ways. The volume ends with Masao confronting Rei
with his twisted personality, and Rei grabbing him in a chokehold.
