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

Omega Oliver William is living in a isolated cottage on his family’s land. The oldest son of a family of alphas, Oliver is an omega whose bond had been forcibly severed. Liam Dawkins (beta) was hired by Noah, Oliver’s younger brother, to care for the lonely omega. This is their story and it was really a good one. Full consent between the MCs (a rarity in Omegaverse), a protective and loving seme, an omega who blossomed under his care, and a baby.

These two step brothers really love each other but are set on denying those feelings. Sora is quite vulnerable despite being 5 years older. An abused child, creative, he brings out protective instincts. Tatsuki loves him but runs from those feelings. Good thing that there is a forthright cousin to bang their heads together and shine a light on the secrets holding them back.

Sharing the same island hideaway with gorgeous Selby Farnsworth and his mischievous son wasn't Abby's idea of heaven—especially with all the chaos created by the two Farnsworth men. TLC was in short supply and Abby seemed destined to dole it out in large doses. Selby, in return, seemed determined to dazzle her with kisses. Slowly but surely, the island was becoming paradise. Until a throng of reporters showed up demanding to know what Congressman Farnsworth was doing there—and just who was the lovely woman with him? And that's when Selby told them Abby was his wife! I thought that this story was cute. Selby was the kind of guy who had been burned by love and was wary of trusting his feelings again but he was honest about that and he was cute when pushing his luck. Abby was a great FL. I loved that she was tall and feisty and how good she was with being openly affectionate with Harry. All in all, a romantic and sweet story with some good laughs.

Yu Jin Gong is a young sales rep with a brightly engaging personality. Lee Hyundai Do is 10 years Jin’s senior. An extremely successful businessman, the recently divorced father is struggling with adjusting to sole parenting of his 10yo daughter Jena when he meets Jin for the first time. Mistaking Jin for a pedophile (twice) their relationship is off to a bumpy start, but the serious Lee Hyundai Do is swept gently into the warmth of Jin’s life in this lovely, wholesome story.

Stories don’t get much better than this. Beautiful artwork, great characters who make sense being together, hot moments, interesting side characters, family, lots of love, and leaves you wanting more but still content. A feel good foray into the Omegaverse, highly recommended.

Brothers Jaegyung and Dohyun have always had a close bond as children of fighting parents. The older Dohyun had displayed autistic tendencies when he was small but he remembers the day Jaegyung’s voice reached him and Jaegyung remember him meeting his eyes for the first time. Sadly, when their parents divorced, the boys were separated for years, Donyun to stay with his father, Jaegyung with his mother. When they were reunited their close bond remained, but Jaegyung had moments of doubt and worry at their closeness. The asocial Donyun only cared about Jaegyung. Years later when they found out they weren’t blood brothers they had a chance to be together, but would they both reach out to grab it? I think the thing I liked most in this story was the depth of their bond and affection for each other. Donyun was more possessive and dangerous, but given that he is a high functioning autistic adult who has bonded with one person in his life, his rare moments of absence were readily understood. Really, a very good story overall.

This was a very sweet story about three childhood friends, businessman and soft hearted Chiaki, tsundere yankee Kazuma and adventurous Tomoe. When Tomoe has a baby but has to travel for work, Shen entrusts her daughter into the care of the men she trusts the most, the long term couple, Kazuma and Chiaki. What follows in this story is the deepening of the bonds of love and family in this new unit and the continued love between the three friends. Very sweet and adorable.

A delightfully fluffy story about a household of 6 males and their new live in housekeeper. While the whole family were integral to the charm of this manga, it really was the capable and caring “mom” Kano, and the oldest brother, the “tsun tsun” Kaname, who were the focus of all the fluffy romantic feelings. Pretty artwork and some really likeable characters make this a must read shounen ai.

This is a really sweet and warm love story between an uncle and niece (don’t worry, no blood relation, he is her dads adopted younger sibling). With a 5 year age gap and the story starting with Mao aged just 16, this may not be for everyone but the connection between the MCs was deep and caring so it worked for me. They communicated well and placed each other first in their priorities. The peek into their future was perfect, letting the story end on a joyful note.

Completed story. The Dom/Sub universe is one of my favourite settings when done well and this mangaka did a great job highlighting that these relationships are based on trust and communication, being safe to let your nature free and not being subject to abuse and coercion. The warmth of this Dom Moriya, his tender after care and attention to his sub, he is a perfect partner especially for an abused sub like Miki Kuroda.
