Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #possessive seme(59)

Ritsuto Okumura has inherited a family power to make people fall for him. He tries to live quietly, disguising himself to reduce his good looks and avoid the pressure of being used and abused. Then he meets Luca, whose grandfather was brother to his grandfather, and who also has the power of Okumura blood. Their attraction and physical connection is instant and all encompassing, but can it ever be true love when their bloodline is involved? This story was enjoyable and the touch of supernatural made for interesting reading.

A really great story that has some dark underlying themes. Yuu is a novelist who is drawn into a world with Chris that is unsettling and unpredictable yet also something he strangely craves. Those adjectives fall short of the horrors of Chris’ childhood but his love for Yuu is all to real and consuming. Can these two be together?

Abandoned by his mother, Souma comes to live with his aunt and uncle and is a companion for his sickly cousin Sakuya. 12 years later and Souma decides to leave when he graduates and get a job. His surprised cousin rebels against the idea. No longer sickly, he pushes Souma down, forcefully taking him and revealing the truth of his love for his older cousin. Things won’t be easy for this pair, but they are very much in love and willing to do what needs to be done in order to be together.

Narito was a loner for most of his life. Misfortune seemed to befall those who became involved with him so when an older man named Koma glomped onto him calling him Master he was quick to try get some distance. However, Koma was a Dog Demon bound to Narito’s soul and having finally found him in his current reincarnation he wasn’t going anywhere. I liked the story, especially when the siblings also became part of Narito’s life. He won’t be alone anymore, that’s for sure.

Read on MangaToon. A surprising pair, the angelic and kind Sawoo, and the dangerous, predator like Kido. Opposites attract and even the way that they love each other is different with Sawoo’s love being innocent and pure and Kido’s love more greedily sexual. Still, these two worked and I loved their story.

Kondou Takayuki hates his boss from the bottom of his heart!! Takagi Toshinobu is mean, heartless, cruel, insensitive... a true sadist! And only to Kondou, by the way! He's perfectly nice to everyone else. A cute story of a sadistic manager who likes to bully the one he loves. For all that Takahiro can be horrible, he was also sweetly eloquent at times in expressing his love and he very clearly adores Kondou. Also contained a oneshot about a busy rising success at the office who hires a maid service only to get a man living with and caring for him for the next month. It was really sweet.

Good stories with some nice art. Perhaps a little fast paced but I liked them all.

Interesting. An older seme already in his 30s and his growing relationship with a young boy in his mid teens. It seems like a terrible power imbalance, except there is no penetrative sex for the first couple of years and the love that the seme clearly feels is very sweet. I like that the mangaka highlighted that the pair enjoyed simple couple pleasures like being together in each other’s company and looking after each other. With an absentee father, I could see why Tsubasa was so drawn to the “perverted old geezer,” Eiji. It would be interesting to see them 10-15 years down the track, I could picture them still being together but it will be different once Tsubasa grows into an adult. Nice art too, and a good possessive lover dynamic going.

Beautiful art and great stories. With the main demon story being the best, the other oneshots were wonderful too. I love this mangaka’s talent with dangerously protective semes and feisty but sweet ukes. Having a 3P story hidden in here was a real gem too.

An excellent sequel to King & Prince with the pair adjusting to the different demands and expectations that come with being a couple. I love the possessive intensity of King and the touch of cluelessness that Prince has as he struggles to put his feelings in words. The two short oneshots that followed were simple smut that didn’t ring my bell, even Kaisers.
