Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #College(65)

Touji (rich, prince) x Kanta (poor, artist). When Kanta’s apartment gets demolished he is offered a room with the popular Touji. When he moves in, he is surprised to find that Touji is nothing like he expected. I have to agree, because the kind of trope I was expecting for this story was not what was in these pages. Instead these two guys were so adorable and kind. I loved their friendship with all the natural touches and simply enjoying being in each other’s presence. This is a recommended read if you want something loving and positive.

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.

2 couples are covered in this; extreme dominant alpha Moogyum Choi, and recessive omega Eunho Lee then dominant omega Yoon and dominant alpha Yibun. I absolutely loved the first couple with the patisserie Choi hiring Eunho (with a serious sweet tooth and an even sweeter face). Their love was wholesome and I enjoyed their honest sharing of feelings. The other couple I was much interested in, both were selfish types but they end up being pretty good for each other. If I read again though, I will just end at the first couple.

Idk what the recent comments are on about coz I loved this story. Super possessive seme with a serious and rather unapproachable demeanour and a sweet faced, older uke who is also needy for the seme but a bit better adjusted. Just my cup of tea. Sakasake Ryou has loved Ikegaki Yuuta pretty much from their first meeting. When the older Yuuta met his neighbour Ryou-kun he took the serious faced little guy as his own special little brother and they grew up together secure in the affection of each other. That was until Yuuta got his first girlfriend and Ryou’s world shifted on its axis. I loved this story because of the depth of connection between the MCs. Once they worked on their communication you knew they were perfect for each other.

Absolutely adorable. Sano is a freshman at college who wants to fall in love and have the very best college experience. He approaches associate professor in archaeology Mr Kigami, for some tips in dating after hearing of others recommendation. The relationship that develops between these guys is so sweet and honest. There is genuine affection and laughter as well as sexy moments. Really a feel good story.

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.

Spoiled son of a business CEO, college student Tatsuki is a hotheaded rich kid tired of sleeping around with girls. After his friends suggest he try a guy he sets his sights on Miyako Hirota and finds himself drawn into the web of a high functioning sociopath. Lots of twists and some mind games in this story. Miyako is not very loveable, but he is absolutely obsessed with Tatsuki in ways he himself finds disconcerting. I liked that Tatsuki was no easy pushover but at the same time he got swept along in the madness. Definitely an interesting romance, in a dark, ‘are you sure about this?’ kind of way.

University student Mikage (23 yo) is confessed to by his kouhai, the scary looking yet gentle Nanahoshi (20 yo). This sweet story follows their slow paced romantic relationship. It’s lovely and full of good feelings.

3rd year college student Takashina, is extremely sensitive to others' scents. When he meets 4th year Ariji he is stunned to find that not only is Ariji’s scent pleasing, it’s all consuming and arousing. Their story is a kinky smorgasbord of delight that is at the same time sweet and fluffy and fun. Some of the scenes with Takashina’s breath puffing over the sensitive Ariji’s skin were very erotic yet still chaste. Great work by this mangaka.

One of my favourite tropes; childhood best friends to lovers. University students Suga and Hara have been living together in the city after being best friends all throughout school. Suga has been hiding his love for Hara for years, content to be by his side as his most important friend. But Hara’s reaction to walking in on Suga masturbating over Hara’s jacket put Suga in a spin. This pair are adorably clueless at times when it comes to expressing their feelings, but watching them realise just what the other feels made up for all that dithering. Very cute story with nice art.
