Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Shy(5)

That story was sad; thank goodness it had a happy ending. Poor Izuni, a child of incest, raised in seclusion to be a replacement of his father for his mother. He said he didn't have much "sense" and it seemed as if his (so called) noble family had a history of incest, so perhaps genetically he was born that way. But compound that with his upbringing snd isolation, its no wonder he was so painfully socially shy and hesitant. It seems as though Izumi makes up for his shortcomings with childlike innocence, beauty and sweet simplicity. I'm glad he found a loving protector in the end who would encourage him to be free.

Ayumu and Touma were thoroughly irresistible. I loved how the author gave us the opportunity to see some key moments from both points of view. I also loved how much Touma cherished Ayumu. Such a sweet, beautiful story

Very cute story with a seriously shy and introverted uke and his neighbour who falls in love with him.

A perfectly gentle slice of life. Shy and socially awkward Mutsu is a successful adult mangaka but so driven with work he neglects to look after himself. On one of his rare forays out, Mutsu bumps into his old basketball team senpai, Akiharu. Realising the gentle Akiharu was in search of a job, Mutsu eagerly offered a position as live in caretaker/housekeeper with one of the only people he feels comfortable with. The rest of the story is their evolving relationship and it’s so sweet. Akiharu is a born nurturer who is perfect for Mutsu, and Mutsu has loved him for longer than Akiharu could imagine. Sweet, fluffy but still very much a Yaoi, this has all the elements I love in a top manga.

Note: Is complete 21yo office worker Fuwa Masaki suffers from extreme social anxiety. His shyness is so debilitating that he yearns to change, but doesn’t know where to even start. One day, Masaki runs into 23yo medical student, Miyatsuka Takeru, who was his complete opposite. The bubbly and understanding Takeru decided to help Masaki and took him under his wing with friendly enthusiasm. It didn’t hurt that Takeru found Masaki’s blushing face and tearful eyes to be very appealing.
