Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Historical(123)

This is one of the most interesting and addictive stories I have read. I finished the novel first and became totally immersed in the story and characters. This version is best read after the novel so that you don’t miss the extra information and insights that provides. It’s hard to wait for the next chapters, but at least having read the novel I don’t get that awful ‘cliffhanger’ feeling. I can’t wait for the next chapters with Wei WuXian and Lan WangJi!

Quirky and fun stories that have some stretches of the imagination that cross the threshold of believability but that’s part of their charm. The ninja bodyguard was a little odd like that. I really loved Masanari’s loyalty and devotion though, he was like a giant puppy and a bit of a goofball, but he was strong and protective and took his role very seriously (indeed ha had a hands on approach for many problems that arose lol). I also thought the Massaging Monkey was funny, but those characters stil had a fair way to go to be in a proper relationship.

A diverse range of stories, especially with a historical type amidst all these modern manga. I loved the first story with the musician and the salaryman. That first sexy glimpse of those abs on outside the office window was a great start to the story, and then add the humour elements to set the scene for a funny and sexy story. The other stories were good too, though most of them finished before the relationship was mutual or with some degree of unfinished business.

I loved this story so much. It made my heart ache and got the tears flowing a few times, not because it was tragic, but it just had some moments that were so special it was like a solid blow right in the feels. Hats off to the talented mangaka for creating such a beautiful character as Theo and having him cross paths with Oz. I lost my heart to them somewhere in the pages of this manga.

A wonderful epic Omegaverse story that took the reader to the past, present and future with two fated souls and a second chance to do things right. The history had me shedding a few tears as my heart broke, but their beautiful future was pure good feelings. Fated mates with a caring and protective alpha and his vulnerable yet strong omega. Highly recommended.

An Omegaverse set in a variant of 1700’s France with the nobility comprised of alpha and powerful alliances negotiated with the influential families of omegas. Amidst this opulent sphere of the elite come the rumblings of dissatisfaction and the winds of change. Wealthy scion of a powerful family, Maurice (alpha) refuses all attempts at pairing with an omega. His heart is set on his foster brother (beta) but for such an unconventional love the world needs to change. This story was cleverly created with a brilliant artistic depiction of the elegant fashions of the time; long sleeves topped with lace, flowing curls, elegant jackets and beautiful characters. A recommended read.

There wasn’t much to the story really. Haru was captured and had sex with his lover while he was still bound. Needs more relationship building even in a DJ with characters already created, there needs to be more.

So much fun with these one shot stories all set around the theme of being reincarnated in a BL manga or otaku game with awareness enough to change the established course of events. From MPreg and giving birth, to being reborn as a baby to being a powerful wizard determined to bring happiness to an abused hero, these were all perfect bite sized stories that I wish were longer.

I am usually a bonafide yaoi reader, but something about this story plot grabbed my attention and I thought to try a few chapters. Well, 52 chapters later and I finish with a few tear tracks but a happy feeling. There was something so beautiful about Ellin’s determination to grasp happiness, it was really an irresistible trait she personified. Then there was Advisor Kiha’s dedicated loyalty and love, even when events transpired that would cause anyone to wonder. He was remarkably unshakeable in his love and faith in Ellin, and that was melt worthy. Seriously, an excellent story with some beautiful artwork.

A sweet story. Philomena is reincarnated into the body of a child on a magic filled fantasy world. Her childhood best friend is the black haired magic user Eddie, a wary boy who had been abused by his family for bearing the dark colouring of a magic user. Whilst pouring over magical tomes and grimoires together they form the beginning of a lifelong bond that grows from friendship to love. However, loving the most powerful magic user in their nation has its drawbacks, especially when your stubborn love is determined to protect you. I appreciated the strong ties between Philly and Eddie. Their love for each other was always an obvious priority between the two opposites.
