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

Make sure to read this series in order. It was great to come back to this pair.

These two were different from fluffy, easy to love characters. Yoshimi was a bit of a sadist who liked discipline play but he loved and was very vulnerable towards Riku. Riku was quiet, with masochistic tendencies who thrived under Yoshimi’s controlling love play. I found them interesting, but I wished Riku admitted his feelings of love a bit more. It was always sweet to see how Yoshimi melted at that.

Good short stories with some possessive and/or protective semes

I really liked this story. Aikawa was beautifully drawn and I loved his direct honesty and possessive side. I felt a little sorry for the more vulnerable Shirahane, and was glad when Aikawa held him until he spoke his honest feelings. That was a great moment in the story.

Most of these were entertaining and a nice diversion. I didn’t like chapter 5 much though, there wasn’t much of a love connection, particularly from the seme.

One of my favourites in the series this story covers the secret childhood relationship between the cold disciplinarian student council VP, Yukimura and his laid back blackmailing neighbour, Shinonome. It seems that Shinonome has fallen for his senpai next door and is ready to blackmail, tease, and tear down the facade that Yuki chan hides behind in order to win his affections. Opposites attract but these guys are more alike than you would initially think and the prickly Yukimura is no pushover.

Shinonime is wonderfully persistent and for a delinquent, surprisingly mellow. He is perfect for the prickly Yukimura and this follow up to their story was great to read. I enjoyed seeing Shinonime’s protective side.

I love this pair, they seem to move in their own little couple universe

Looking forward to when Towa understands the birds and bees of what makes a relationship (or is it birds and birds/ bees and the bees in yaoi terms?). Mikado really needs to sit him down to an open conversation so he can clear the cobwebs from his head and finally understand that he is in a romantic relationship with a great guy who adores him and that’s a good thing.

Kuon and Nanao are addictively adorable in this story. I love how deep and true their feelings for each other are. I also loved the fragility of Nanao, he really was endearingly sweet. Beautiful art as always.
