Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Hosts(2)

Two beautiful hosts, a cute lost dog and a grandma who is a bit of a matchmaker. These all mix together for a great story that had some darker themes (like date rape drugs and loss) but an overall sweetness that was adorable. There is some dubious consent in helping the drugged uke get through the effects of the date rape drug, but his words to alleviate stress and the fact he didn’t administer the drug made his actions seem to come from a good place rather than selfish lust, and it did not bother me.

A couple of good short stories that follow on from Koi wonSuru nara. The first followed hosts Hiroto and his senpai from school. This was not a sweet story. The senpai was a sadist who liked to sleep with women in front of Hiroto. He treated his kouhai like a dog but would lash out in jealous rages when Hiroto started sleeping with women from the club as well. Senpai was not a character to cheer on, I actually would be fine if Hiroto dumped him but these 2 eventually came together and seem happy with each other. Still, not a story I would re read. The second story followed host Akira and his beautiful cousin. I preferred this pair. Akira was possessive and protective but his naive cousin could stand up for himself when needed. This relationship had more love and sweet moments.
