Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Alpha uke(3)

Two hot stories that rock for different reasons. In the Mr Wolf series, the sensei was intelligent, good looking, a little disorganised and a man with principles. He was also surprisingly alpha and dominant and that was super sexy. The second story of two Yakuza brothers was even hotter. For me, that was because the uke was so alpha and dominant. With these brothers it’s a clash of wills as they reunite after years apart and deal with the anger of the one who felt abandoned by the brother he admired. Neither of these guys is a pushover and it makes for a hot and sexy relationship. My only real critique of both stories is that they would benefit from a few more chapters to do justice to the interesting characters. This is especially true for the Yakuza story, that one had loads more story to tell.

This was an interesting spin on Omegaverse. The omega (Azusa) had idolised the alpha (Kade) ever since he was saved from bullying by the young alpha at school. Now years later they reencounter and Azusa offers to pay the playboy back, doing anything for him. More for the amusement at using Azusa, Kaede agrees and from then is subject to the very determined pursuit by Azusa to become mates. I liked the hint of possessive yandere in Azusa. He could be scary at times, enough so that he would go to unforgivable lengths to get what he wanted. But he was also prepared to sacrifice all he had to give Kaede his freedom. Azusa could be very intimidating when others got close to Kaede, but Kaede was alpha enough to stand toe to toe with his lover when needed. It’s an interesting dynamic, definitely intense and a little disturbing, but well done overall.

This story was the kind of silly fun that has you snorting with laughter in public places. It blatantly broke tropes and had a lot of fun doing so. Yokomichi (omega) loved alpha’s, but when they found out he was an exclusive top, they dropped the petite and angelic looking business man like a ticking bomb. New company president Karasuma-san makes an impact on Yokomichi with his alpha perfection and the infatuated omega is in hot pursuit of the innocently clueless alpha. What follows is adorable and fun, full of loveable idiots, resentful Arabs, strange livestock and a money grabbing best friend who is worth every cent.
