Summary from Wikipedia:
After being devastated in the third World War (known as The Third Division), Japan was divided in two. Several years after the end of the war, a crime organization called Vischio has taken control of the destroyed city of Toshima (formerly Tokyo, Japan's capital city), where they are holding a battle game known as "Igura". The main character, a young man named Akira, is falsely accused of a crime. Once arrested, a mysterious woman appears before him, offering him freedom if he agrees to participate in Igura and defeat Igura's strongest man: the king, or "Il-re". The story follows Akira's life in the harsh, lawless Toshima as he fights both to survive and to unravel the mysteries developing around him. 
Kenn's Comment: Well, from what I hear, the BL content isn't all to overwhelming, so hopefully it'll be able to appeal across the board. That being said, I'm sure fans of the visual novel by Nitro+chiral will be up in arms if they tone down or remove the BL content as a whole, so A-1's got a decision to make (though I'm sure they'll side with the current fans, rather than would-be fans). The animation looks really good, and the characters look like they could make a straight man go gay...in a good way of course. Aside from this, I don't know too much about this (as it's not in my strike zone), but if A-1 and Aniplex are behind it, I'll give it a run.
