Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #re-read!!! ^.^(278)

So sad this is the last to read in this series, I have gotten very attached to these guys. I didn’t like how Kousaka intruded oh Shinonome and Yukimura’s relationship in this story, but it did highlight the vulnerability of Yuki and it was wonderful to watch Shinonome know just what his partner needed to feel secure. They are a bit of a crazy couple but they work so well together, and this manga was really great for showing the strong ties between these MCs.

Cute stories. I especially liked the one where the uke was at school but openly gay (how rare) and the seme started to look at him differently when he found out, wondering if that was his seductive face for guys. I really enjoyed the insight into the seme’s thoughts.

I loved most of these stories (the teacher one was my least favourite). They were short stories or one shots so a faster pace is to be expected, but this was ok because for the characters (eg in the first story) weeks had passed by before they confessed or realised they were falling for each other. I would have liked seeing more time for the host and older guy’s story. There was something adorable in how shy they were, or how sweetly they treated each other. There is also potential for so much more with the quiet boy and the voice actor. Sometimes short stories really leave you wanting more..

Over the top cuteness with a side order of omfg adorable! This manga was lighthearted and fun with fast love that is long lasting and exclusive, even in the face of some intense competition. I really enjoyed this sweet story.

One remarkably naive young yakuza meets a tall, beautiful Italian ship captain while drowning his angst over his recent marriage. The two start a sexual relationship that continues in Italy amidst the drama of being lost, kidnapped, drugged, rescued and (ofc) reluctantly married. Don’t read this if you are wanting a gritty yakuza story. This is lighthearted but sexy; a fun story that focuses on opportunities for the MCs to fall in love.

Damn I wish that was longer.

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.

One of those yaoi that set the benchmark

Each of these short stories were absolutely adorable. I particularly loved the first one with sensei x student. It was surprisingly erotic and sexy, maybe because even though the student was the aggressor sexually, he was also endearingly innocent and so obviously enjoying “helping” sensei.

I loved this, from the element of sexy taboo with an uncle/nephew romance (though the family were remarkably accepting) to the steadfast loyalty and devotion of Taira to the cuteness overload factor of both MCs. It was so sweet, I want more stories like this that leave fluffy good feelings behind.
