Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #childhood friends(221)

So beautiful... Looking back on a life well lived This was not a tragedy, but my tears were just as bad.

If you're going to have a stalker, one who has been your friend since childhood is probably a best case scenario. I did find it cute how happy he was to share his stalking highlights

A nice oneshot about the boy left behind and growing up. Just my usual gripe, like most oneshots this would have been better if it was longer.

The first story was the best of the bunch with the piano rivals falling for each other. Then moving into the shotacon with his little brother was less enjoyable, and the rapist playwright was the worst by far. Should have made that one suffer. The difficulty with shota is that you know the kind of adults who chase pre teens are creepy loser pedos so even when well drawn, its just cringeworthy.

Kana and Shin; these childhood friends become even closer when their third friend Sora, reveals he has entered a relationship with another man. Shocking as that news may have been, it was even more so for Kana, who had revealed his intention to confess to Sora to Shin. In the ensuing turmoil for the floundering shop owner, his more forceful friend Shin revealed his own long held secret. Life is changing for these young men, but love will win the day.

I loved this gentle seme with a possessive streak. Jun and Toshiyuki were a lovely romantic couple who seemed to genuinely appreciate each other and communicate well. A beautiful story.

Two sweetly, perfectly fluffy stories. Mochizuki and Mukai were simply adorable, I thought the seme’s glowing cheerfulness and confidence were really alluring for such a seemingly delicate partner. I loved how he encouraged his uke to use his voice and speak for himself, to be more assertive. Moving straight into Yuki’s story was a relief because he needed a love all of his own. While I can’t help but think the sensei would have been a good uke, this almost antagonist to lovers story was sweetly satisfying.

A nice story. Seme was 3 years older than his childhood friend and neighbour and felt more than brotherly towards the uke when uke was in middle school. Not wanting his younger friend to be disgusted, seme distanced himself and became a playboy. Until one night his drunken confession had the uke intrigued and the seme running away again.

Omg, so damn hot and sexy. Love restrained for two years but not diminished, when these guys get together the only one left hot and bothered was me

A collection of interconnected stories with quirky characters, none of them being in any way perfect or even perfect for each other. Don’t be fooled though, these guys are perfectly imperfect, and that’s just perfect!
