[Read all▲▼] Bond(z) (manga) [Rating▲▼] Good [Comment▲▼] 
In the end, this is really just another yaoi anthology. Bondz contains four stories, three of which are completely forgettable. It's only the title story that manages to bring this book up from mediocrity. Bondz is about two friends who fall into a destructive and self absorbed relationship with each other and aren't able to deal with it's intensity. I've read Bondz before about a year ago and only this story made an impression on me. I remembered it clearly for the reread, while drawing a complete blank on the other three. I've come to discover that I prefer Toko Kawai's work when she writes more serious stories like this one as opposed to her more silly and sappy work like Our Everlasting and Cafe Latte Rhapsody. As an anthology, the book is very uneven, but I'm going to give it a pass on the title story alone.
