Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Family(33)

That story was sad; thank goodness it had a happy ending. Poor Izuni, a child of incest, raised in seclusion to be a replacement of his father for his mother. He said he didn't have much "sense" and it seemed as if his (so called) noble family had a history of incest, so perhaps genetically he was born that way. But compound that with his upbringing snd isolation, its no wonder he was so painfully socially shy and hesitant. It seems as though Izumi makes up for his shortcomings with childlike innocence, beauty and sweet simplicity. I'm glad he found a loving protector in the end who would encourage him to be free.

This was the best yaoi! I absolutely loved Yuuto and Touji and the pace that their relationship developed. So many opportunities to see Touji's naughty fantasies which were a highlight of the book for their diversity and creativity, olus the fact they often had me laughing out loud The art was beautiful; pretty much that entire family was good looking. I really admired the little details that distinguished this family from each other and all the work that must have gone into the background as well. I could keep raving about this funny and romantic book but long winded reviews are overrated

So lovely. A fast paced story with an unconventional love, but it works. Adorable pictures too, right down to the little bunny on Aki’s boots. One I have read a few times now and will read again. The second story was not as good but it had some nicely intense passion overtaking moments and was a nice,short read with an older man at prep school and his younger sensei.

Mishima Kazuhiko has a couple of sweet stories in this manga that are themed around teachers. They have multiple chapters and so are short stories with some character and plot development often lacking in a one chapter oneshot. My favourite was the first one, the kawaii seme was so adorable with his matching bunny or bear hair ties depending on what the adorably drawn Rei was wearing and his sweetly positive outlook on life. His backstory made his comment about no guarantees with your fated love resonate with me.

A beautiful, sprawling story following the lives of this blended family after the loss of their newly married parents. The romantic relationships crossed boundaries like age and family ties, but it didn’t feel sordid, instead was sweet and heartwarming.

I enjoyed this sweet story, it was a good blend of heartwarming and yaoi style chemistry. I thought little Rin was an adorable bundle of energy, and the MCs were lovely together. I know there is some negative feedback on the slap the seme gave, but of all the things you read where a seme treats his uke like crap, this was nothing like that. It came from that transition from terror over losing a child to overwhelming relief they are safe to disbelief, hurt and rage that Rin’s safe recovery was kept secret. Then before he had time to process things, he lashed out. I think if it had been a mom who slapped, it would be more understood, and while violence is never ok, it was at least, understandable.

A wonderful story following a serious, young painter and the much older man who falls for him.

Loved the first couple most. So many lol moments, from his ass being in a crisis to the teachers reaction to playground discussions, this was adorable and sweet, and surprisingly uncensored!

Various entertaining and enjoyable short stories, well worth reading.

Love the demon story
