Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Possessive lover(145)

Two good stories set at a restaurant. The first couple owner x chef was my favourite. It dealt with an established couple and the insecurities of the uke (from his previous relationship where his partner was unfaithful). A chance encounter with the ex who wanted him back brought a lot of old issues to be resolved before he could stay with the seme who made him feel needed and loved. The second couple were childhood friends but the uke there had an obsession with girls with big tits. I didn’t like him, he was so weak and a cheater. I would have been happier to see the seme kick him to the curb.

Loved this! Nagisa is the feistiest uke I have seen

The story of Katsura and Sou was so lovely to read, they were such a beautiful couple. The secondary characters were so good I wanted to see a story for them too (Katsura's brother and best friend). I think one of the absolute best parts of this book though was the artwork. From Katsura's big eyes over the shoulder of Sou as he was held in a hug, to the form of the boys as they held their bows and released the arrows to perfect pages like when the 4 boys were on the beach looking out at the ocean. Such beautiful work made this a joy to read!

This is the manga that started my love of BL stories. Sato and Yoshio are seemingly such an odd pairing but as a couple they are so sweet and their love is deeply based and really endearing. The series follows them from their first year of high school as they start dating and dealing with the problems of going out with the most wanted guy in high school. Sato has such a sadistic side but Yoshio brings out his inner softness and humour, and it’s pure comedy between the two of them as Sato’s cruel streak is indulged by Yoshio’s tears or overcome by his moments of heartfelt honesty. Highly recommended story.

For oneshots, these were really well done. I usually find that oneshots don't develop characters enough to become invested in them, but these stories were enjoyable. The first one was sweet, the second and another were surprisingly hot (waves fan

Now that is a new kink for the lists Something about letting that fence restrain Chiba (symbolically and literally) made for some hot ecchi I loved the feral possessiveness of the seme. Pure fantasy and scorch.

Kana and Shin; these childhood friends become even closer when their third friend Sora, reveals he has entered a relationship with another man. Shocking as that news may have been, it was even more so for Kana, who had revealed his intention to confess to Sora to Shin. In the ensuing turmoil for the floundering shop owner, his more forceful friend Shin revealed his own long held secret. Life is changing for these young men, but love will win the day.

Half brothers Yuki and Hayato have an awful childhood background of parental neglect and abandonment. Living on their own, they only have each other to rely on and each puts all that love and desperate need to be loved in the other. That is, until Yuki scares himself with new sexual feelings for his younger brother. Afraid of his siblings reaction and hating himself, Yuki abruptly distaances himself from his brother, leaving the young Hayato confused, hurt and desperate; abandoned once again. This background sets the scene for a twisted psychopathic relationship between the brothers. Yuki becomes hyper sexual, even going so far as to sleep with older men for money. Hayato commences a relentless campaign of ownership over his older brother, ranging from restraining his brother to blackmailing and intimidating every one of his ex lovers to forced sexual submission. Reading this story, despite Hayato showing sociopathic tendencies, I couldn't help but feel sorry for this vulnerable boy desperately trying to cling to the only person he has left. Abandonment has lefft deep scars on the boy and he was a difficult to like seme. This was an uncomfortable read, but I appreciated the complexity of the characters.

I loved both stories here. I liked that beneath the spoilt brat was a loving and enthusiastic guy with a protective and possessive streak. He was definitely better than his naive sensai at spotting the predators out there, maybe coz he was a little that way himself. The father and private secretary/ tutor were hot together. I think it was the wicked look on the semes face ^.^
