That's the background of the humans and thus a critical part of the story. Saki and Maria have a similar relationship. Lets just say this anime would raise a couple of eyebrows in the community if it was in real life. Long story short, stepbrothers fall in love with each other, theres an age gap and theyre both adopted. There arent any sex scenes so I consider this a soft yaoi. To form a society of love as the intention was, it can be assumed that the effect is already present in the human genome and may have been strengthened by the DNA grafting. This yaoi was one of the first ones I ever saw. One of the other observed behaviors in the bonobo, is the bi-sexual nature, which is present in apes ( ). One of the explained behaviors is the relieving of stress through sexual activities (as observed in episode 5, when captured, Saki and Satoru engage in such activities to reduce their axiety and fear).Ĭombining this information with real-world information can then be extrapolated as: It is assumed that the grafting of bonobo DNA into the human genome causes certain attributes to be transferred. The answer will be revealed through the course of the story, but a quick witted watcher and/or reader will have his/her answer at episode 5.Īs the Minoshiro explains, necessity dictates that the human society on the brink of destruction must be reformed into a society of love, like the bonobos ( ). This behavior is straight from the novel and is described by the Minoshiro in episode 4.
