Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Romance(1295)

Opposites attract in this surprisingly sweet and funny story. Loved it!

I love stories with a little angst of friends to lovers and all the new feelings that can be overwhelming. These stories all had that element of looking at someone in a new way and were full of cute couples. I loved the first pair the most. They were adorable and the whole carrying “princess style” was a seriously cute moment.

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.

The first story was the best in this set of short stories and one shots. The last one wasn’t much to bother reading. It had school friends, one with a crush, the other knew and gave him a chaste kiss before changing schools for a happy memory. It took about as long as that sentence so no need to read it. I also didn’t like the store owner who hired a guy only to include sex as his task too. No emotional connection between the guys = bleh. The rest were enjoyable though.

Sweet little shounen ai with a sacrificial love.

Beautifully drawn beasts. A sweet tale of Gods, beasts and humans.

Mao seeks his brother, only to find the master who is the only one capable of controlling his beast. But can he stay with his master when he is being hunted? A good story, but I prefer the prequel, Wild Wind for a better story.

Magic, wizards and love all tidily wrapped up in a story with lots of lovely looking color pages.
