Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Adorable(407)

To think I nearly didn’t read these just because they are oneshots! They were lovely and entertaining and not too short with a variety of characters and settings. I loved the school friends with the feisty and shorter seme and gentle giant uke as well as the really shy ghost writer and restaurant manager the most.

Let the insanity begin! This manga is a whirlwind of overacted poses and epic confessions with a narcissistic sensei who obviously has charisma +100 and a shy student immune to those charms.

Such a cute couple! This was a beautiful short story

A well written story with characters that stir your empathy, especially the 2 fathers. Their long lasting love is beautifully sad because they live a life where their own heart is denied in favour of duty and familial expectations. Their sons story was great but felt like it fell short of being complete. There was no mutual love, only a one sided one that was left feeling it was doomed to fail.

This was a great shounen-ai that focused on character development and interactions involving the MCs, their friends and families. I loved the beautiful uke who looked rather feminine with his slight build and delicate features. He was so optimistic and bright, but he had insecurities he had to manage and was a victim to verbal and physical abuse at home. All of that aside, he was a dangerous person to mess with and I think I loved that trait most of all. His loner tsundere love interest was his opposite in many ways, but they fit together in a way that made sense. I liked that the boys had quarrels and misunderstandings but were able to resolve them and I loved their loyalty to each other.

I loved the story and the way these 2 childhood friends kept loving each other, even when apart for those years. There were sweet moments of yearning before they became lovers where one would reach for the other but not quite follow through, or tremble in restraint from kissing a scar while the other slept that tugged at my heart. Then after they became lovers they could finally wake together and gently stroke the others face. Those gentle love connections were beautiful and elevated this story for me.

I enjoyed this story, it was different to have such a pessimistic character as a MC. I wasn’t sure if I always liked him, he was prickly and insecure, however that vulnerability was also endearing. Contrastingly, Imamura was adorable and energetic. I loved his stubborn persistence and sweet caring nature.

Cute little oneshot

Such a refreshing story with this gentle, soft hearted seme and the boy he falls for.

One of those yaoi that set the benchmark
