Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Gentle uke(2)

Hirose Akira was an employee of a famous family run company and had been gaining more responsibilities as he steadily rose through the ranks. That was until he made a move on the wife of the company President’s youngest son, Shigeharu Tomoya. Then his world crumbled and he was left to make amends to the beautiful cheated spouse. The more time Akira spent with Tomoya though, the more he was captivated by his gentle boss and the more he realised his attention and affection were well and truly caught. I liked the dynamic between this couple and the little twists in the plot that caught me by surprise. These guys were adorable.

Trigger Warning: Rape The title gives a bit of a hint for this story. There really isn’t anything soft about it, other than Shiratori Tomoe man boobs. When the naïve and soft hearted Tomoe meets a roughed up man named Zen and takes him home he ends up being sexually assaulted. No use sugar coating it, although Tomoe enjoyed it, and he chased after Zen when he woke to a pile of cash left behind. So started an uneasy relationship with the two men. Tomoe made his home and himself a warm, welcoming haven that Zen returned to with unpredictability. The story had lovely art, and I always like a tough guy loves gentle or kind guy style stories. But I prefer those partners to treasure their significant other. It was perhaps a little too one sided, and a little weird to fall for someone who raped you twice. Restraint and consent can be hot. Valuing and treasuring your partner is heartwarming. It’s not like Zen hadn’t experienced that kind of love ever, he was a damaged guy for sure, but he knew he raped Tomoe and wondered at his mental function for chasing him. I suppose I just have to imagine him turning decent after time spent with Tomoe.
