Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #bully(29)

This was a great shounen-ai that focused on character development and interactions involving the MCs, their friends and families. I loved the beautiful uke who looked rather feminine with his slight build and delicate features. He was so optimistic and bright, but he had insecurities he had to manage and was a victim to verbal and physical abuse at home. All of that aside, he was a dangerous person to mess with and I think I loved that trait most of all. His loner tsundere love interest was his opposite in many ways, but they fit together in a way that made sense. I liked that the boys had quarrels and misunderstandings but were able to resolve them and I loved their loyalty to each other.

Some cute one shots that are worth a read

Outstanding story with seriously beautiful art. I totally loved these MCs.

This was cute. Stalker magnet uke and the vengeful seme from his past.

This was a dedicated smut story with no boundaries in the erotica delivered by the mangaka. There is voyeurism, dubious consent and forced sex, nipple play, cross dressing, size differences, uncensoring, and all nature of perverted seme’s dominating their lovers. If you are after a hot story that mixes the erotic with a dash of romance then you will love this.

I am of a different opinion to many commenters here in that I enjoyed the sadistically inclined and possessive seme and his masochistic uke. It took growing up a bit for the uke to understand why he couldn’t explain why he loved Sahara. Not everyone is able to clue in to the fact that they enjoy some bullying attention and I agree with Sahara that they work so well together because they have grown older and have life experiences in the present day. Really, this was a lot of fun to read because these guys suited each other so well.

Revenge plot targeting his bully. A dark sister with a knack for potions. A friend with a penchant for nosebleeds. This story was off the wall fun and unpredictable. The 2 MCs are a rebellious, delinquent style bully and his rebellious, gloomy victim. When the tables are turned with a clever plot, these 2 guys are both in for some surprises. Lots of fun, beautiful art and some nice erotic moments, this is well worth a read.

I love when a bad boy falls for a good guy and in this manga there are two adorable couples to follow. The first story has the cute Aya-chan who has a predisposition (as he calls it) to make people fall wildly in love with him when he doesn’t wear his protective glasses. Off to a new school full of frightening delinquents, he catches the attention of number one scary guy, Horiguchi. What I really like about this story is that Horiguchi is a genuinely scary guy able and willing to fight when needed but he is so very possessive and protective of Aya-chan. This story is classic opposites attract and full of surprises and sweet moments. The second story follows Horiguchi’s older brother when he was at school and met the boy he loved. Another delinquent but this time paired with a masochist who can see the pain beneath the bullies mask, these guys were absolutely adorable. I loved their story.

Not the most likeable characters but interesting stories. A little too much focus on the rapist cross dresser in the first story for my liking, and the second was rape with a minor. The twist gave it some redemption but it was still not my kind of preference to read. Interesting to see sounding play but it was forced so it was overall a disappointment.

This was an interesting spin on Omegaverse. The omega (Azusa) had idolised the alpha (Kade) ever since he was saved from bullying by the young alpha at school. Now years later they reencounter and Azusa offers to pay the playboy back, doing anything for him. More for the amusement at using Azusa, Kaede agrees and from then is subject to the very determined pursuit by Azusa to become mates. I liked the hint of possessive yandere in Azusa. He could be scary at times, enough so that he would go to unforgivable lengths to get what he wanted. But he was also prepared to sacrifice all he had to give Kaede his freedom. Azusa could be very intimidating when others got close to Kaede, but Kaede was alpha enough to stand toe to toe with his lover when needed. It’s an interesting dynamic, definitely intense and a little disturbing, but well done overall.
