Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Flowers(6)

Beautiful story, just like a romantic fairytale

A nice way to pass an afternoon

Loved this story! Kotaru and Toraji were such an unlikely seeming couple; the upcoming yakuza boss and a florist. But these guys were not the typically depicted representations of their roles and that added a whole extra element of fun and charm to the story. I really enjoyed the art, especially of the more flashy Kotaru with his scar, cheeky grin and 50’s bad boy hair.

Phew! The seme in this story is a master manipulator. He falls for the high school student and flower empire heir, Kaede at first sight. As an older and successful man, I suppose it’s no great task for the seme to manoeuvre events to place the vulnerable Kaede at his mercy. It’s also no surprise that the uke falls in love with the elegant seme. It’s almost a predator/prey scenario, but I like the strength Kaede developed along the way to fight for what he wanted and excell at his craft.

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

I really enjoyed this Omegaverse story. Renjaku-san is an arrogant alpha who owns a flower design store. His aura of cool aloofness is enhanced by his tall, well dressed elegance and never smiling face, his stylish clothing and his beautiful face. Everything about this imposing alpha who loves sweet drinks is secretly adored by Hana, the kind and gentle looking alpha who serves Renjaku his daily coffee at the busy cafe adjacent to the flower studio. When Hana has an unexpected heat cycle (revealing his omega status) he turns to Renjaku for the sexual help that will help him manage the driving biological urges. This manga follows Hana and Renjaku as they traverse the tricky path to love after that unplanned intimacy. I liked many things about Hana, from the way he tried so hard to hide his serious crushing on Renjaku (like his little scent nest of pilfered trophies) but at the same time was so sweetly obvious (lol like the stolen underwear or blabbing when half asleep and outing his imagined plans). I liked Renjaku for his open and blunt honesty for Hana to not get his hopes up, and the way he would bring Hana back to Earth by doing things like pinching his nose or bonking his head. I thought Renjaku’s backstory was disturbing with respect to the first omega he knew and explained a lot why he preferred to keep an emotional distance. But the persistent Hana was too irresistible and appealed to the protective kindness hidden under Renjaku’s stern face. So often he raced to the rescue, chiding Hana if he put himself in danger but also holding him close. I thought Renjaku needed that mix of cuteness and cluelessness that Hana had, along with Hana’s obvious love and persistent pursuit. As a couple they worked well. Last comment is for the art. Stunning, amazing, and hot. The story was uncensored, Renjaku was pure alpha even in the art and I loved the eyes on both MCs. Really great to see such talent.
