Links – Kizu Natsuki
A dramatic collection of stories linking four men and their ‘half-baked’ lovers.
Highly emotional stories that just tugs at the heartstrings.
Sekiya + Shibata: A DJ who finds it hard to say the words and the man who wears his heart on his sleeve. A bit melancholy but pure and heartwarming.
Yahiko + Akiha + A certain man: A man who can’t get over a lost love, his lover who refuses to give up, and a dead boy whose memories linger. Painful but also hopeful.
Kameda + Ogigawa: A story of two man brought together by a cat and who stayed together because that’s how it should be. Surprisingly deep but lighthearted.
Sato + Nakajou: A couple who stayed together for ten years but it is love? Bittersweet but ultimately satisfying.
