This softcore story of a gay love triangle and Yakuza intrigue is based on the long-running manga by Kodaka Kazuma. The title refers to a special bond that exists between people who love one another and its relevance has to do with a Yakuza hired car accident during which kendo champ Ranmaru, the story's hero, pushes Enjoji, his lover, to safety while allowing himself to be struck instead. Years later, the happy couple must deal with the fact that Enjoji's brother thinks Ranmaru is pretty hot, too. Subtitles tend to show up early and stick around late, but the art is largely enjoyable, the characters beautiful without being swishy, and the sweet tale of Ranmaru and Enjoji's relationship is touching. A seduction scene between the two early in the story is especially erotic.

Retailing: A romantic tale for those more interested in a steamy and complex plot than watching cartoon characters fuck.
