Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Delinquents(9)

The first story made me LOL, those facial expressions, how they met, the reaction to confession. All perfect for laughs. I liked the two from the second story too, these are both worth a re read.

Worth a read, its always good to keep the older stories circulating. It just lacked emotional connection for me.

These stories were enjoyable shounen ai, the first was my favourite of the bunch. The second story was a little confusing at times, perhaps too rushed or too much presumed understanding of the characters? The third story was really about confessing feelings without any build up for the reader. That was a shame because I liked the potential the characters had for a good story.

Really great bunch of short stories, especially the unusual flower eater and wild boy ones.

Two rival gangs that volunteer to help look after the East and West sides of town. Two leaders who don’t get on, but the reason for that is unexpected and it’s going to take some determination to get along. Falling in love is easy, if only they can talk. This story had beautiful art and was full of fun and sweet moments. Highly recommended.

Trigger warning: Rape These two intertwined stories set in the Omegaverse were so good! In the first story delinquent Kuma lived to fight and could easily take down multiple thugs. One of his favourites to go toe to toe with was Hachi, another dangerous delinquent and Second in the Hachi group, but during their latest fight Kuma goes into heat... From that point these two come together forcefully, but they become a very cute couple, particularly the cheerful Kuma who loves stuffed bears and learning to be the wife Hachi needs. The second pair are Mitsorou from the Hachi group and Suzume, Second of the Amatobi group. Suzume had fallen for Mitsorou at first sight but the reserved older man had no interest in romance. Until a broken engagement and being abducted leaves him in a vulnerable position and Suzume proves himself to have his own somewhat crazy version of maturity and trustworthyness. Suzume is adorable and persistent in his pursuit, he really is so loveable.

Trigger warning: Forced sex but author handles it well Fantastic Omegaverse story with great art, hot MCs, and ofc, a really interesting storyline. Tsubame (omega) and Miyama (alpha) have been neighbours and competitive rivals since infancy. One day when fighting Tsubame finally wins, only to go into unexpected heat. The guys relationship goes through some huge challenges but Tsubame isn’t going to let anything stop him from making things work. This story includes a fair amount of their families input, and both families are loving alpha/omega units. It’s rare to see yaoi where the families are like this, and they added so much depth to the story. No more spoilers, just give this one a read Sequel to Abarenbo Honey.

What an amazing story! There was a lot of awful history in Ai’s life and you can only wonder how messed up his home life must have been for him to still choose school in his freshman year. When transfer student Nagato meets him as a fellow sophomore he mistakes the beautiful Ai for a girl, earning himself a fist in the face. From there these two delinquents begin a romance that neither expected. Nagato was a really kind and decent guy, delinquent or not. Perfect for the mistreated Ai.

A very well told story that takes you into the lives of 3 broken guys. The depiction of drug use was dark and isolating and there was an overlaying sadness to the story that was inescapable. Read this if you want something special and different.
