Bonds

In this anthology, all the stories share a common thread: the powerful bonds that unite the characters

In the enchanting friends-to-lovers story Midoriboshi, the protagonists’ love transcends the boundaries of dreams, whisking them away to a fantastical world where they are united both in their dreamscape and in real life. Meanwhile, in Life-Death, the unbreakable friendship between the protagonists endures even beyond death.

These stories beautifully illustrate that bonds may twist and turn, but never disappear when they are strong enough.

Akira Pantsu’s stories are renowned for their exploration of deeply complex themes such as loneliness, love, mental health, and abuse, always guiding the reader towards a path of light and hope.

The contrast between the author’s tender, adorable style and the heartbreaking stories he tells will leave readers breathless. Akira Pantsu’s art often showcases fluid dynamics and a mesmerizing blend of dreamlike and real elements, while prominently featuring LGTBQ+ characters. This unique combination highlights his distinctive style, making each story a truly unforgettable experience.
