Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Ex delinquent(3)

A lovely little bunch of interconnected stories. Lot’s of sweet moments, my favourite perhaps being the scary faced/ ex delinquent store manager and the serious supervisor from head office. When he chased him down and held him because he had cried alone it was a heart melting moment. Like I said, lots of sweet moments.

Seems that lots of readers found Yamada’s stalker like tendencies problematic, but I loved his super possessive nature and slightly yanderish obsession with Chino. As an ex delinquent, Chino could more than hold his own against Yamada if needed and there were a few instances of him putting his foot down (on Yamada’s chest lol). I think that what made me like Yamada so much is that he is fiercely protective of Chino and the stalker prince has a surprisingly gentle nature. So for me, this was a winner!

Completed story This was a sweet story about young single dad Take, his adorably bratty son Kota, and the new kindergarten sensei, Aota. For ex yankee Take, raising his son alone after his wife left has been full of challenges. But the anxieties of being a good parent were matched by the loneliness he found after old friends drifted away and his partner left with a new man. So when Aota praised him for being strong and doing his best, he broke down in his arms. That vulnerable moment bonded this seemingly mismatched pair and their story was really lovely to read. Falling for each other was natural and the little family really were heartwarming. I loved the art for Take, he had such a cute delinquent look that was still remarkably vulnerable. Loved the story.
