Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Music(7)

So sweet and lovely but with a serious undertone with the loss of his life’s passion for Noiri to deal with. Sennen-kun was such a kind hearted sweetie, this was a real feel good ending.

Nice companion story to Yoru To Asa No; a little more depth to what you see in the main story was pretty great.

Short yet sweet, these lovers are strong enough to be apart for a time, yet stay connected.

It was too long but the characters were likeable

I absolutely adored this story. Soushi-san is a 30 yo metal head who has difficulty speaking. He saved his new neighbour, Kento from freezing to death one night and from that time the two shared meals and formed a solid friendship. But Kento has a secret and hidden feelings for his beautiful neighbour that changes everything. This slowly unfolding story is beautifully drawn and full of “the feels” that make an excellent manga.

Young vocalist Kathleen had dreamt of being a classical opera singer until the day an accident killed her parents and left her legs badly damaged. But Sister Cecily has other ideas and she auditions Kathleen before the famous stage composer Morgan Llewellyn. Arrogant and blunt spoken, ‘Black’ Morgan has a devils reputation and despite his initial harsh rejection he takes Kathleen under his wing determined to write her the perfect song. The story was good, though perhaps a little fast paced. Romantic and sweet overall.

This amazing story is told in two parts and tells of the path from friendship to love. It’s not all smooth sailing but it’s beautiful and slow paced and full of captivating art. Androgynously beautiful, 2nd year student Shuichirou hides his feelings behind a mask of cheerfulness and playboy behaviour. Sex is an escape, as is his habit of sneaking into the terrace of his school building during lunch, while skipping class, or when he wants to put off going home. It was on the terrace that he met and befriended fellow 2nd year Konno. Looking like a long haired delinquent, Konno is subject to rumours of being intimidating but the quietly observant youth is kind, direct and unnervingly (for Shuichirou) insightful. Jealousy, envy, and an odd sort of mutual regard colours the interactions between these two young men: one who conceals his feelings behind a cheerful facade and the other whose simple-minded, pure-hearted demeanour makes his friend's previously avoidant existence rife with internal conflict. Read this story for a love that takes time and watch these wonderful characters mature and just be too damn adorable.
