The year is 75 AD. In the ancient Roman Empire, a criminal - Aaron - is imprisoned in the amphitheater. Used not only for gladiator fights but also for the execution of criminals, the amphitheater was the most important entertainment facility for the citizens. However, Aaron, a "criminal who deserves to be killed," is burdened with a deeper sin than anyone else; he must never be killed, he must never die. This is the story of a man obsessed with revenge, and his continued resistance to his "fate." A stunningly drawn historical spectacle begins!!! (Source: Nihon Bungeisha, translated)

About a robot, Jack, who appears frequently in Shimizu's SF stories. He's a robot with very human-like psyche. He once believed that he was human and he can even consume food, unlike many of the other robots of those times. While performing bounty-hunting duties on a strange planet, he has a flashback to the time he believes he was human... In this flashback, he and his partner are imprisoned and are given scarce food everyday. They share that meager meal, half and half. Yet as the days pass, the delivery of food becomes more scarce. His partner's strength is waining (she's a human being), yet Jack, though he feels the same consuming hunger as his partner, is physically still very apt. They're rescued several months later, but his partner had already died from starvation. Jack, who finds out for the first time that he's not human, still lives. (Source: PRISMS)
