Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Shounen ai(227)

Enjoyed all the stories, but the last one with the stubbornly fiery uke was the best by far.

A nice oneshot about the boy left behind and growing up. Just my usual gripe, like most oneshots this would have been better if it was longer.

A sweetly fun read by one of my favourite authors. In this one we are gifted with a dorm full of good looking sweethearts, any of whom would look great on their own manga cover. The uke was the currently unemployed 18 yo Mizuki, the seme was older businessman Kudou who was initially cold and aloof. When he started to reveal his kinder side these guys started to fall in love. But there is still an older brother to deal with, as well as no job, suspicious neighbors and a dorm full of charming troublemakers.

I would give the first story of Someya and Takada 5 stars if it was in a solo book. It was a beautifully drawn story with sweet characters I loved. I wasn't interested in the second story and totally avoided the third since I don't read for tragic experiences but to escape them.

A lovely shounen-ai with seriously introverted Endou and the stoic Tsuda slowly falling for each other.

Sequel to Endou-kun No Kansetsu Nikki. There is a bit more angst in this second book about Endou and Tsuda. Will these guys ever be able to understand their feelings enough to move forward?

Light, pleasant; an easy read but nothing really to get excited about.

A nice story. Seme was 3 years older than his childhood friend and neighbour and felt more than brotherly towards the uke when uke was in middle school. Not wanting his younger friend to be disgusted, seme distanced himself and became a playboy. Until one night his drunken confession had the uke intrigued and the seme running away again.

I can see why this is such a high rated manga. It was so wonderful I can’t even find the words... Moments of laughing balanced with heart aching empathy. I am sad now to have read the last page of these characters and their friends.

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
