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

Very cute summertime romance between 16yo city boy and country girl.

So cute, so much potential for something special and fun. Just needs a little more, but it’s still adorable.

This isn’t the kind of story that you want to reveal too much of and spoil. The fact that my pillow was drenched in tears shouldn’t be off putting simply because the story was so beautiful. Satoshi and Shizu were complex, well contrived characters that were totally endearing. The art was so well done too. Give it a read.

A wonderfully erotic romance with a supernatural twist. Thirtyish Arata is a café owner whose extra large dick is too much for any woman to handle. When he meets starving university student Shinya, he is stunned to learn that the food he needs is not something from the cafe, but from Arata himself. These two indulge in lots and lots of sex with plenty of oral, toys, dirty talk, flirting and even an observer. But their world revolves around each other. They become a sweet, loving couple with a more than healthy sex life who aren’t afraid of a PDA or two. Really a nice mix of sweet n spicy content.

I am so happy that this story was picked up and completed! The intimidating yankee, Kijima, has a secret soft side. Under an exterior that promises violence beats a maidens heart. Kijima believes in fortune telling, fate, and a destined love. What to do though, when fortunes fancy is his classmate, Kousaka? The cheerful and popular Kousaka seems to see beneath Kijima’s tough exterior to the kind and sweet person beneath. Their story is really adorable and quite romantic in this opposites attract manga.

This was a very sweet story about three childhood friends, businessman and soft hearted Chiaki, tsundere yankee Kazuma and adventurous Tomoe. When Tomoe has a baby but has to travel for work, Shen entrusts her daughter into the care of the men she trusts the most, the long term couple, Kazuma and Chiaki. What follows in this story is the deepening of the bonds of love and family in this new unit and the continued love between the three friends. Very sweet and adorable.

One of my favourite tropes; childhood best friends to lovers. University students Suga and Hara have been living together in the city after being best friends all throughout school. Suga has been hiding his love for Hara for years, content to be by his side as his most important friend. But Hara’s reaction to walking in on Suga masturbating over Hara’s jacket put Suga in a spin. This pair are adorably clueless at times when it comes to expressing their feelings, but watching them realise just what the other feels made up for all that dithering. Very cute story with nice art.

What a lovely age gap story. Novelist Shiraishi Shoutarou has a 21yo daughter who is engaged to his editor-in-charge, Osanai Masumi. When she runs off on her wedding day, the two men stay living together. The gentle kindness and warmth of Masumi winds it’s way around Shoutarou’s heart. I won’t divulge more and give spoilers. Suffice to say this is a sweet, feel good story that is worth a read.

Neighbours and best friends since kindergarten, Natsuki and Naoto have changed a lot over the years but their bond of friendship remains strong. The once small crybaby Naoto has grown to be tall, popular and athletic, while the protective, older (by 6 months) Natsuki ended up short (though don’t tease him about that) and cute (he will deny this). When romantic feelings arise they are suppressed in order to not cause disgust and ruin a valued friendship. That is until a good looking and likeable senpai takes an interest in Natsuki. I loved the art and I loved the story. Childhood friends to lovers is one of my favourite tropes and in this one I really appreciated that the outside romantic interest was such a lovely senpai.

This story didn’t ring my bell, so to speak. Cross dressing model Iori had always liked his diminutive school friend Naoto, although Naoto didn’t understand same sex love. Despite not feeling the same way, Naoto began to have a sexual relationship with Iori, and the longing that Iori obviously felt for him slowly started to worry Naoto as he tried to understand his own feelings. There was an unnecessary rape scene in this story with a way too easygoing forgiveness Iori always liked Naoto, even though Naoto Iori always liked Naoto, even though Naoto scene shortly thereafter. Tbh, I am not sure if there was much that appealed. Shame.
