Shirou is not only forced into the bandit lifestyle himself, but is also forced to become the bandit leader's, Sougetsu-sama's, sex toy. Night after night, day after day, he is forced to gratify the leader's sexual appetite. Though Shirou is extremely strong and is able to fight off any attacker's, he cannot, for the life of him, repel Sougetsu-sama's advances. Shirou hates the bandit leader with all his might, yet cannot deny the sexual gratification that the man brings him.The bandit leader, Sougetsu-sama, has many lovers. Yet, why does he constantly keep coming back to the violent and unwilling Shirou, when he already has a bevy of willing partners at his beck and call? Sougetsu-sama's partiality towards Shirou is not only puzzling, but it also creates jealousy amongst some of his lover who views the strong Shirou as nothing more than a rabid dog because of his violent nature.Born with beautiful, natural red-hair at a time in Japan when such traits were tantamount to being vilified as a demon; Shirou seems to epitomize the ultimate characteristic of the bloodthirsty fiend. He is feisty and refuses the bandit leader with all his might; and as a result, ends up being raped by Shougetsu-sama most of the time. What will be the outcome of their struggle? Will there ever be a balance between them, or will this game of cat and mouse continue?

(Rainbow Field, a location within the manga) is a heavy book. Its thick black cover and roughly 300-page girth are a sign of things to come: this is a black, bleak story, complicated and convoluted. It is a story that you can read again and again, and notice new things each time. It is a story that you need to read again and again to puzzle together. It is a story heavy with symbolism and maddeningly intricate.Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rape, murder, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption. It's a spiritual cross between the misanthropic suburban malevolence of Kyoko Okazaki's Rivers Edge and the eerie mysticality of Donnie Darko. (taken from Mangascreener)
