Adapted from Kazuma Kodaka`s hit manga, KIZUNA is an erotic anime centered around a gay love story. Handsome and charismatic high school student Ranmaru is a rising kendo champion when he is hit by a car meant to kill his best friend Enjoji, the son of a prominent yakuza boss. The friendship blossoms into romance as Enjoji nurses Ranmaru through his difficult, but ultimately successful, rehabilitation. Years later, the college-going boyfriends are threatened by the entrance of Enjoji`s half-brother Kei, who has fallen in love with Ranmaru and plans to seduce him away. Subtly erotic, KIZUNA chronicles this riveting love triangle in a swooningly romantic style that is sure to appeal to gay and straight viewers alike. This volume presents the first half of the two-part anime in an unedited format.
