Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Coworkers(59)

Trigger Warning: Suicidal themes A nice (generally smutty) collection of stories including; a popular boss and his plain worker with a big package; the boss’s shabby brother and the virgin stalker; the dangerous looking housekeeper and his appreciative novelist boss; the suicidal gay student and the soccer player. I enjoyed the housekeeper and student stories most but all were entertaining reads.

The adorable little Hen and the beautiful Ivan. Their bickering rivalry to loving pair story was fun and sexy and entertaining. Surprisingly after the more than 100 pages of story it felt like there was more that needed to be told (eg reuniting with the Grandfather and family) but it was still a sweet ending with all the happy feels those two deserved.

If you are looking for a short, hotly erotic story with beautiful colour panels and well drawn characters then this is the oneshot for you. Not my favourite kind of story usually, as I prefer emotional connections between characters, but this did have a competitive banter between the MCs and it was all safely within the realms of fantasy. Or was it? Unashamedly hardcore, this was a gem in its genre.

A sweet reunion story with some serious company rivalry and all the funny cringe of sleeping with the enemy.

A cute little story about two coworkers for a coffee company. Oomori is in the research and development department and Tsutsumi in marketing. Oomori often feels that Tsutsumi hates him because of his cold demeanour at work and the fact that he is always harsher towards him with critique than others. But when Oomori starts hearing Tsutsumi’s inner thoughts one day, he is stunned to learn that the cool exterior is hiding romantic feelings towards Oomori. These guys are very cute as a couple. Tsutsumi is endearingly shy with his feelings but so happy to have Oomori return his interest. Oomori is a cheerful seme who finds his partner totally cute and adorable. Very sweet story.

The new dessert chef at the privately managed Italian restaurant "Molte Stelle" is a tall Italian man of few words, Gino. The inscrutable Gino is supervised by head chef, Keito who falls instantly in love. With his desserts that is. This beautifully drawn story follows the relationship of Keito and Gino, dealing gently around some cultural differences and an unexpected romance. I enjoyed the intensity between the MCs, the way food was such a means of connecting and how Gino respected Keito’s demands.

New teachers Mr. Murakami (maths) and Mr. Sasakawa (history) have started their jobs at the same high school. The outgoing and friendly Mr. Murakami is instantly attracted to the beautiful Mr. Sasakawa. After celebrating with their fellow teachers with some after school drinks Mr. Murakami is unable to resist the temptation of an unguarded and tipsy Mr. Sasakawa. So begins their bumpy ride to love. I loved both MCs, especially the gentle ruthlessness of Mr. Murakami and how frustrated he could become over Mr. Sasakawa’s cuteness. Another really lovely story by this talented mangaka.

Kondou Takayuki hates his boss from the bottom of his heart!! Takagi Toshinobu is mean, heartless, cruel, insensitive... a true sadist! And only to Kondou, by the way! He's perfectly nice to everyone else. A cute story of a sadistic manager who likes to bully the one he loves. For all that Takahiro can be horrible, he was also sweetly eloquent at times in expressing his love and he very clearly adores Kondou. Also contained a oneshot about a busy rising success at the office who hires a maid service only to get a man living with and caring for him for the next month. It was really sweet.

Naïve country girl heads to Tokyo on the night bus for a dream job interview. After spying the couple in front having sex, Momoko finds herself at the mercy of the handsome stranger next to her who uses the lusty scene to play with her body. Ofc, he turns out to be her new boss and he will be giving her a lot more hands on experience at work too. It’s all a scene for smut and falling for the boss.

A bunch of short chapters that each give a snippet of insight into the MCs relationship. It’s cute and different, but not something I will reread.
