Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #doctor(27)

Assassins, healers and redemption. Such a surprisingly sweet couple.

Such talent to create these 2 beautiful guys and bring them to life with this gently unfolding story. Unlike many stories where you get 2 dimensional characters, this author gets you involved by making these more mature adults have life experiences and a past that shapes them and how they interact together. Sensei is a pediatrician with an ailing grandfather and a medical practice to inherit. The candy store owner appears laid back and unconventional, but he is not all fluff; rather he bought and owns his own store and cares for a child not biologically his. I think that was one of the nice aspects of this book, the layers to the characters and their chemistry. The other was the art. Super sexy long and lean bodies, blushes, quirks of lips hinting at a private joke, even the way they stand and walk. So much to appreciate from this talented author.

An all time favourite, this is the manga I go to when I want something to tug at my heart. Kazuhiro is one of the walking wounded, only his scars are on the inside. He is tough and intimidating yet vulnerable at the same time; he has a childlike directness and deep need for skinship but lacks social skills. I love the sparks between Kazuhiro and Yousuke, how he would inhale the scent of the new doctor and hold him close, and how Yousuke started to understand what a sweet guy Kazuhiro really was.

I loved these stories, each so different, yet with a common theme. As the author put it, they were all “totally full of perverts”. That was fine by me, and these perverts were all adorable in their own ways, making this a hot and entertaining read.

These two were very sweet together.

Surprisingly great story. At first, the characters did not seem really likeable, but as you get drawn into the era they live in and the lives they live they both became something special and beautiful.

I didn’t like the doctors choice in how to deal with wanting his demon, but as the stories progressed then intermingled it became easier to look past. It’s not a good world for mixed relationships, there are plenty of obstacles to overcome, but it is really lovely overall.

Too short. Where is the rest of the story?

Special story, not romantic at all but all about love.
