Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Tattoo(9)

One shots, nothing great, first was ok. Second ended after he forced his uke then ran off berating himself. Talk about unresolved... Third I didn't finish.

First and last stories were enjoyable.

Damn..that was really good! There was something authentic about the relationship between Jin and Sena, from the way they connected over tattoos to the awkward confession, “I love you. Or something...” lol Adorable

Sexy and hot, this was a great short story.

Really well styled peek at this established couple. A story that would be even better if we got to see how they came together or fell for each other.

Nice companion story to Yoru To Asa No; a little more depth to what you see in the main story was pretty great.

So good! So very, very good! Dr Uzuki stumbles upon wounded Yakuza boss Nonami on his way home from hospital. He helps patch the gunshot wound and leaves the intimidating man, not realising that the next day would have Nonomi entrench himself at his hospital in search of the beautiful ‘woman’ who helped him. So begins the hunt. This beautiful story was full of hints of the mystical, symbolism, humour and the darkness of the crime world. The tiger tattoo on Nonomi’s back seemed to have a predators instinct that guided Nonomi. They saw Doc Uzuki as a timid rabbit to chase and eventually love and protect. Doc was a petite and fragile looking man who took some time to stop being afraid and start being intrigued by “Yakuza-san”. They were in every way opposites and their romance was challenging (even for the author apparently) but it worked and I loved every bit of the story, even the more disturbing parts were authentic for the characters.

It’s a very fast paced story about a holiday fling following a painful breakup. The characters are cute and end up really caring for each other, but there’s not a lot of depth. Plenty of smut squeezed in there, shame it was censored.

Beautiful art, beautiful story. Tattoo artist Yuji falls instantly for the beautiful Michiru. But Michiru belongs to another, an artist who has kept the ethereal man his whole life as his muse and creative inspiration. It’s going to take something powerful to bring these two together. I loved this story. There is a psychological element that comes forth that was so essential for Michiru’s character development. Nobody who was raised as he was could be expected to be ‘normal’. But he is precious and adored by Yuji. The connection between this pair is intense yet sweet. Really, this is just a unique and wonderful story.
