Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #co-workers(5)

Another great story from this mangaka, this time focusing on two older salarymen. Recently divorced Director Inoue and the ‘raging homo’ and ‘sex addict’ Section Chief Kitahara come together to address the anonymously delivered accusations against Kitahara. In this story, I enjoyed most how Kitahara tended to have the tables turned on him when he tried to manipulate Inoue. I also thought it was sweet, just how long he had yearned for the older man. I was less enthused about the dub con scene at the office with the other guys, but even there Inoue managed to wrest control and deal with the way his hurt partner was lashing out by bringing it back to being about the two of them. As for the scene where Inoue said he would save his lover over his daughter, I wasn’t bothered by that. I saw that as a moment Kitahara needed to believe he mattered and was a priority to the guy he had loved for years. It called for a romantic reassurance not a discussion on why his daughter needed saving first or he would need to think about it. Personally, I thought it was sweet and it managed to discompose Kitahara too, so bonus lol.

Ridiculously adorable! I loved the obsessive tendencies of the seme, and his hot stories were irresistible for Mama chan. Plenty of sexy scenes and lots of lols, this was a load of fun to read.

The main story between a boss and his subordinate was very cute. These guys entered into an agreement to sleep together (no sex, just much needed sleep) but soon developed some forbidden feelings. There is a lot to deal with like an ex girlfriend and the demands of work, but despite that these two make something special.

All these stories were good, but the main story about puppy like masochist Hanada Sakutarou, and the insouciant sadist Chouno was simply *chefs kiss. Be sure to read the prequel first; Chou to kumo no su. I loved their dynamic. Chou was a pure caretaker, the perfect S to help Hanada safely push his M boundaries. Given his background, it’s even more special that he was able to be true to his own nature with his loving partner who was so responsive to his touch. Plenty of kinks, sexy and hot with sweet aftercare. Loved it.

Designer Tsukamoto and ex delinquent turned printing master Seto are the MCs in this enjoyable manga set around a printing house. It’s a gay x straight guy story with a nice twist in that Seto is totally ok with the gay scene and is in no way judgemental. I like the sparks that fly between two creative MCs and the friends and ex’s that fill the story are all entertaining in their own ways.
