Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #brother x brother(17)

When they were young, the parents of Toosaka Izumi and Yano Kaoru divorced and also separated the young siblings. Over the years they lost touch so when Kaoru came to be a freshman at Izumi’s high school his older brother didn’t recognise him. This beautifully drawn story follows their reconnection and falling in love. It was really sweet and the mangaka did a great job of traversing the many conflicting emotions and choices that faced this pair.

A couple of short stories. The first one was very kinky and followed 2 brothers where the younger was the seme and practiced sounding on his older sibling who was a teacher. Heavy focus on urethra play with stretching and urethra insemination. The second story was about 2 dogs in a pet store. The older dog used toys to initiate his doggie lover. These stories are both a little different and not for everyone.

Trigger Warning: Incest (Brother x Brother) Multiple stories that were all enjoyable for different reasons. The main story had the best character development and it was sweet how some of the loneliness of being a neglected child of a narcissistic mother was addressed with a caring partner. The second story had some unexpected twists that caught me by surprise and I found the whole inability to get an erection was interesting especially given the feelings between the MCs. There was something sweet about the yearning to catch Yoshida’s shadow. The third story of the two brothers was just too short to do justice to such a subject, but it was still a good read. Wtf was up with that cat though? It was like the reincarnated form of some manly old pervert. The last story was a sequel and was great for the switching roles. Be sure to read the main story first.

Trigger Warning: Incest (Brother x Brother) This was an interesting premise. Brothers born years apart but on the same day and time, raised apart by divorced parents, are reunited when their parents reconcile. As the tensions of reunion are being managed the brothers become aware that their astrological twinship has given them an unusual bond. One shares their feelings of pain, the other pleasure. There was some strong emotional connection between the MCs and a sweetness that both wanted a lovers love to be voiced and shared.

I liked these short stories. The first was about an office worker and the high school guy he pursued. He was very patient of the younger guys uncertainty about his sexuality especially when you realise that he was responding to the longing glances and flushed arousal signals the younger partner initiated. By backing off he gave his partner the space and time needed to accept and be open about his feelings. The second story I also really liked. Another age gap, the seme was more than twice the age of his younger coworker and initially resistant to the advances of the uke. His reason for hesitating was understandable and the uke’s reaction to him agreeing was very cute. The third story about the misunderstanding between established lovers was my least favourite. It was short and harder to connect with the characters and understand the overreaction. The final story was taboo brother x brother and quite erotic (especially given that they didn’t have sex) and even humorous. One brother pretended to be a sleepwalker, the other took advantage of his sleeping onii-chan and both felt guilty. Open, unresolved ending, I would have liked to see how it progressed.

These two step brothers really love each other but are set on denying those feelings. Sora is quite vulnerable despite being 5 years older. An abused child, creative, he brings out protective instincts. Tatsuki loves him but runs from those feelings. Good thing that there is a forthright cousin to bang their heads together and shine a light on the secrets holding them back.

This story is completed. Hold on for a naughty illicit 14 chapters of brotherly love. Yes, it’s full on Sweet Home Alabama, no doubt about it, brothers, but it’s not Shota. Petite college student Kanata (19yo) has always had to be the strong, responsible big brother. Something that he thinks his younger sibling Keita takes advantage of, so he seeks some pampering in his part time job as a “Little Brother” where men pay to spend time “spoiling” and talking to the young men there (who knew there were such cafe’s?!). High school student and swim team athlete, Keita actually teases his big brother to get his attention. The fit young athlete has no idea that the brother he admires has such a job, and when he finds out the two have an enlightening confrontation. Talking seriously for the first time, their relationship starts to heal and become close. There’s just one problem; a new awareness for Keita towards the big brother who looked so adorable as a little brother.
