Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Multiple stories(358)

First story was lovely, one I will happily re-read. I didn’t realise there were multiple stories and didn’t bother to read the blurb or reviews for the second story, happily hoping for another enjoyable story. Nope.. the next one had rape and a photo taken after the end of that, another student forcing the uke to perform oral on him, and then, for good measure, more non consensual sex from the seme. Love was never mentioned once (not that I like stories where love = rape forgiven), it was all simply awful. I feel like I need to disinfect my memory

Cute, but felt like they were unfinished works.

I shed a few tears in that baseball story, it was so beautifully written. I also really enjoyed the age gap story, the older guy had such a great angry face and both MCs were drawn so well! I have to send a big thumbs up to the translator and editor, the translation went above and beyond with the accent and there were no jarring moments of poor grammar

Enjoyed them all, though the last one feels like it’s just beginning.

Not a lot of happy themes in this group of oneshots. Ok to read, but I won’t reread.Best was the alternate reality one.

Really liked the naturalness and protracted development of Minaguchi and Andou’s story, it was sweet though lacking those “swept away with longing” that may have been present in a yaoi version. I have to say, it would have been great to see some more touches between the guys, but their kisses were still lovely.

Good reads. The first story had a very fit seme and a pretty faced uke who was being picked on by several guys. Coming to his rescue became common, and the two MCs became physically close but were there any strong feelings to keep them together? The second had a young boy falling for the older guy who used to visit his sister all the time. I just don’t understand why he would, tbh. Still, they end up together and are happy.

Two interconnected stories where love wins in the end despite stubborn heads. Enjoyable, worth a read.

Loved these, especially the flower shop story (the manager was drawn amazingly well, especially the lips!). The main story grew on me, I loved most the extra chapter with the visit to “young master’s” home. That page where the guards came in the room cracked me up

Yamamoto Kotetsuko is so talented, I am amazed that there were so many feelings elicited in me from a handful of short stories. I usually avoid one shots because so many fail to have me caring about the MCs. I got teary over the rape story, not just for the uke’s horrific experience but for the seme’s reaction. I am often awestruck by the beautiful, expressive faces the author draws, I love their work and can highly recommend this manga.
