"Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin" is a manga series that revolves around the lives of seven former delinquents who attend a reformatory school in Japan. The title of the series roughly translates to "Rainbow: The Seven People of Shohoku 6," with "Shohoku" being the name of the reformatory school. The story follows the journey of these seven individuals as they navigate the challenges of their new environment, confront their past mistakes, and strive to become better versions of themselves.
Upon their arrival, they are subjected to a dehumanizing "initiation" by the prison guards and the sadistic Doctor Sasaki. This brutality serves a narrative purpose: it establishes the world's cruelty and strips the boys of their individuality—until they meet the seventh man.
