Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #love it!!!(18)

This was a surprising gem of a story. Iori is a sweet 18 year old country guy moving to Tokyo to attend college. He finds a room available for free of he cooks and cleans and moves in with company president Roku. Iori has some rapid adjustments to make, but the perpetually cheerful boy is no pushover and soon he and Roku become closer as they understand each other. Their interactions are so sweet. Iori is impossible to resist and his genuine and giving nature brings out the best in his more irascible roommate. This is a definite re read anytime I need an emotional shot of “omg so cute.”

What a wonderful story! And because I hadn’t read the forums there were no story spoilers so the surprise really caught me by surprise lol.

A lovely rendition of Anne of Avonlea.

Bring on the ugly tears It’s a masterpiece, a beautiful love story, a gem amongst stones. Loved it.

A perfect spin off from Asatte ni Kiss with Kunihiko and his kouhai Haru as MCs in college.

This may not be a story to appeal to everyone, but I sure as heck loved it! The Tiger: Koga (29yo) CEO of an IT startup. Successful, driven, ruthless, sadistic, bit of a hedonist and a real alpha male. Never been in love until.. The Hamster: Kojiro, ex country boy who recently quit his horrible and exploitative office job, now relaxing in the slow life working part time at a convenience store. Loves cats, a petite guy who dreams of a nice normal life. That is until he meets.. Koga first saw Kojiro hand in his lost wallet to the police. Intrigued by his honesty, Koga insisted on taking Kojiro out for a meal (and I do mean insisted) as a thank you. Increasingly fascinated by the naive innocence of the younger man, Koga pounced and swept the trembling sweetie into his bed and into his heart. Expect to see intense possessiveness, dominant sex, controlled orgasm, blushing uke, kinky cos play, and more. Oh and love. Because these opposites fall head over heels for each other.

Completed story Yoon Haneul: Modern woman and a pushover, Yoon finds herself isekaied into a novel she had written 10 years earlier. One full of youthful cliches and tropes that made her cringe, and one where she became the villainess. Aila Mertensia: The villainess who existed in the novel to make the heroine shine. Daughter to a powerful duke, now that Yoon is inhabiting this body she is determined to avoid that bloody ending and enjoy her favourite novels. Only it seems that avoiding her role has placed time in an endless loop. And it seems that she isn’t the only one to notice. Killian: Centuries old and a powerful warlock, Killian had been stuck in a repetitive and irritating day and was determined to destroy the one responsible. Tracing that person led him to Alia. In order to help time move on, he decides to help her become the perfect villainess. I really loved the story. The MCs were wonderfully designed and the plot was enjoyable. The ending was a bit fast perhaps, but it wrapped things up pretty well and was very satisfying as far as the MCs future goes. Based on a light novel

Completed Story Opinion: I loved it so much I bought my own copy. Main couple: 10/10 FL: 10/10 - Blondina. An atrocious name, thankfully she was mostly called Bridey in the story. Half blood princess x commoner, raised in poverty and abuse. Vulnerable yet poised. Gentle but with an inner strength. Very likeable. ML: 10/10 -Divine Beast Amon Akir. Black leopard. Very protective and possessive. Makes for an adorable kitten. Bridey’s first in his heart and soul. Story/Concept: Forgotten princess x Divine beast. I loved how we followed Bridey and Amon from being children spending time together to adults in love with each other. Their bond was strong almost to the point of being exclusive of others, but as the story progressed new friendships and strengthened family bonds came into their lives. Conflict was external, they communicated well and worked through any potential misunderstandings well. There is a clear feeling of being fated mates and little doubt that each was good for the other. Tropes: Reincarnation romance. Shoujo. Beastmen. Deities. Possessive lover. Sibling rivalry. Ending: Happy. Plenty of lovely side stories. Art: Lovely, colourful. Smut: Implied. TW's: Child abuse. Animal cruelty.
