Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Cat(13)

Very sweet and fun manga featuring cool beauty Erina Wada, a high school girl who absolutely adores cats, and her classmate, Nekoyama Akira, who is unsociable and always wears a mask. Erina loves cats and when she saves a floofy tuxedo kitty from crows she can’t resist petting and kissing his handsome face. Only problem is that when she kisses him he turns into a beautiful young and NAKED man! He isn’t a prince though. Turns out that the unsociable Nekoyama is a shapeshifter who transforms with a kiss and now he is saying that she is his owner.When he moves into her bedroom, Erina knows that she’s in trouble. Who can resist that serious fluffy face, the plump body and soft paws? Or the way he talks?

Completed stories. These stories are all set in a dwindling population world where cat/ human anthropomorphs have evolved to where both biological males and females are able to have babies. Similar to Omegaverse, it’s the release of pheromones that signal heat but it’s usually chosen by the one wanting to conceive, and usually only detected and irresistible to genetically compatible couples. The stories were mostly set around a modelling agency and had very different themes. From a purebred model x poor insecure orphan wanting a family, to an age gap young model x older manager and talent scout, to a doting young uncle x predatory nephew, these were all enjoyable.

This starts out as your average delinquent (Howth: pink hair, poor grades and attendance, frequently absent father, gets into fights) and good student (Ben: dark haired megane, loner, studies all the time, class president, loves cats) BL story. But it quickly changes when Howth finds himself turning into a cute, pink furred cat that gets rescued by Ben. There are a loads of humorous moments filling the pages of Season 1 as the boys become closer and find ways to juggle study and unexpected cat transformations. Season 2 has some more serious moments even ones that trigger the tears, but overall this was a sweet, fun and enjoyable read with plenty of character growth.
