''Links'' (リンクス ''Rinkusu'') is a BoysLove manga created by Natsuki Kizu, the mangaka behind ''Manga/{{Given}}'', which was originally published in 2014 by Libre Inc. in a single volume composed of nine chapters and has been translated in English by Creator/VizMedia's [=SuBLime=] imprint as of 2022.
This manga is a collection of stories that follows four different pairs:
* The introverted radio DJ Masahito Sekiya and the energetic cafe owner Ryo Shibata, who loves listening to his voice.
* Akiha Nitsu, who is still hung up over his first love, and Yahiko Tsubame, his FriendWithBenefits who wants something more.
* Yusei Ogikawa, a salaryman who was found collapsed in the rain along with a stray cat, and Aoi Kameda, who ends up taking them both in.
* Takaaki Sado, a yakuza who has had a love-hate relationship with his boss' son, Shinobu Nakajo, since they were in high school.
However, these stories are much more closely connected than one might think, like the [[TitleDrop links]] of a chain.
!! This manga contains the following tropes:
* ArousedByTheirVoice: This is what initially drew Shibata to Sekiya, and it's how he was able to instantly recognize him when they meet in person.
* ConnectedAllAlong: As the title of the manga would suggest, all four of the couples are connected in one way or another:
** Nakajo and Akiha both frequent Shibata's cafe.
** Yahiko is is Sado's bodyguard/secretary.
** Kameda is next-door-neighbors with Sado and Nakajo.
** [[spoiler:Sado is the younger brother of Akiha's lost love.]]
* NoNameGiven: We never learn the name of Akiha's first love, as [[spoiler:Sado]] only ever refers to him as "my brother".
