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

Two delinquents at the top of their game Taiga the Tiger and Ryuusei the Dragon made a formidable team. That was until Taiga got beaten into a 3 year coma and Ryuusei left him in hospital. Now,the energetic and puppy like Taiga has found his onii-chan and determinedly reinserts himself back into Ryuusei‘s life. The first chapter covers a lot of ground quickly, but the story gets better as each chapter progresses, mainly in thanks to the adorable Taiga. Ryuusei Is very alpha male, strong, a bit stoic and a protector, and he balances well in partnership with the adorable Taiga.

These guys were absolutely adorable. Seichi Hasuki was a single dad (34yo) designer who was looking for love and someone to spoil him. Inukai is the much younger man who fell for him at their first meeting. Both men are beautiful and both come with a bit of baggage that needs to be worked on. I loved their dynamic and it was also fun to see their kinky bedroom role play and cosplay. Recommend read.

A wonderful story about a strong willed girl with red hair and jade green eyes and the possessive demon who claims her as his pet. The dynamic between Nora and Albrecht was really quite interesting. For all the ageless power of Albrecht’s ancient demon nature, Nora was so natural with him. No wonder he was so fascinated. It was a lovely story with an ending full of good surprises. Highly recommended.

Sweetly romantic story with this couple alone in a cabin and sleeping under the stars. I think that one of the things I liked most was that they bought joy to each other. There were problems in their lives, but together there was happiness.

Trigger warning: Dubious consent A wonderful yankee story with beautiful artwork. Kiyonaga Akane is a feisty new delinquent looking to make his name. Sadly for him, he sucks at fighting. After a bashing he is rescued by the notorious 2nd years at his high school Kidou Ryouji and Kurokawa Tarou. Akane falls into instant hero worship for Ryouji but the teasing Kurokawa really ruffles his feathers. This story then follows the reluctant object of Kurokawa’s interest as he slowly falls for the bullying wooing of the strongest delinquent.

I loved Asuka (22yo) and Yui (17yo) and their complicated relationship. The last 5 years have been quiet between these step brothers following a night of embarrassing sexual moments. But now the brothers are in a situation that has them confronting their feelings for each other and falling irrevocably in love with each other. The more serious and silent Yui is the brother with the more intense and long lived feelings of love. But both brothers end up being truly devoted and self sacrificing in this sexy and romantic story.

Kanzaki Misuzu is whisked into a different world of magic and knights where she becomes the Black Healer, Daughter of Gaia (the God of the world) and sets about to find her way home. I enjoyed her journey, she was a brave adventuress who sought to use the talents she had to make her own way. The romance was sweet, though probably something I wanted more of and I liked the choices Reene made. My only issue was the ending seemed just a touch fast (the flow was a little off, perhaps from the new translator) and I wanted to see her life more in the demon world (the whole story was really spent in the human realm after all). A recommended read.

I enjoyed the story, it covered a lot of ground in 5 chapters with the murder mystery and the budding romance between the job focused (for sure somewhere on the autism spectrum) and blunt spoken Tsutsumi and the PTSD suffering, masochistic Sakuma. The artwork was beautiful too. Both Tsutsumi and Sakuma really looked like detectives in their suits and I liked the haggard look of Sakuma when he was struggling.

Trigger Warning: Dubious consent Childhood friends Seyun and Yoojin have grown up close together yet have also walked their own paths with Seyun moving with his dad and attending different schools. Their fathers were great friends and the families (most especially Yoojin’s) are strongly featured in the story. I loved how protective of Seyun, Mr Jung was if he thought Yoojin wasn’t treating him right. Everyone underestimated just how tough and dangerous Seyun really was. He could more than hold his own against his tall, judo loving partner when he needed to, but emotionally he was more vulnerable and uncertain. The strength and depth of love between the MCs was one of my favourite parts of the story. They had some miscommunications but they worked through them and their love for each other was remarkably sweet.

A great little oneshot of a nephew x uncle vampire romance. Definitely one to reread
