Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Widower(2)

A story of new beginnings and love, this was interesting and enjoyable. There was a scene of dubious consent (the one being forced was surprised but not resistant, but the seme’s actions were not intended to be loving). I always think there are better storytelling options so I took a point off for that. The rest of the story had some moments dealing with loss which were sad, and lots of new love which was sweet.

OB-GYN Hino had bad luck maintaining relationships. His ex’s found him clingy, a little high maintenance, and perhaps a touch too clean focused. But Hino wanted to fall in love and when he broke up this time, he decided to do things a little differently and to go out on a rainy day (he believed bad things always happened to him on rainy days). When his eyes fell upon a lone drinker at the bar he was instantly drawn to the beautiful man. Widower and lawyer, Masaaki was commemorating the anniversary of his wife’s death when a friendly bundle of positive energy sat beside him and changed his life forever. The story of these guys was simply wonderful, despite Hino-san starting out as a bit of an opportunist. Masaaki was such a decent and good man, he was totally irresistible. And Hino was a real sweetheart when he opened up. Their story was really very loving and romantic with moments of pure sweetness like holding hands with positive energy, cuddles on the couch and warm hugs. Definitely a favourite for me.
