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

This is one of those sweet yaoi full of cute moments and fluffy feelings. The love is sincere and enduring. I liked that this wasn’t a furtive, hidden affair, but given the support of the younger partners family.

I enjoyed the stories, particularly the first two.

These two men had all the intensity and passion for each other you could ever hope for. When dangerous men fall for each other and Nishida Higashi is writing you are set for the very best of stories. I absolutely LOVED this!

An aloof anaesthesiologist and a sociable pharmaceutical rep mistakenly misread the cues the other send and end up having a night of mind blowing sex. When their mistake is bought to light, suddenly it doesn’t seem to be a mistake after all for the Rep. The rest of the story has him ardently pursuing the man he has fast fallen for. There is plenty of hot sex, a manipulative ex and the uke’s fears to handle, but this seme is persistent and very much in love.

The MCs Dr Tomioka and Suzuka were such a good fit for each other. With Suzuka’s history and damaged self confidence in his personal life it takes someone kind yet forceful to batter down those defences enough to realize he is loveable and loved. I loved how everyone seemed to not appreciate unnecessary drama, it made sense given how both MCs had a history full of drama beyond their control. I also loved the sweet gestures Suzuka hesitatingly made to show Dr Tomioka mattered, like getting up to see him off at the door when he left. It’s lovely when sweet, thoughtful gestures are appreciated.

So good! So very, very good! Dr Uzuki stumbles upon wounded Yakuza boss Nonami on his way home from hospital. He helps patch the gunshot wound and leaves the intimidating man, not realising that the next day would have Nonomi entrench himself at his hospital in search of the beautiful ‘woman’ who helped him. So begins the hunt. This beautiful story was full of hints of the mystical, symbolism, humour and the darkness of the crime world. The tiger tattoo on Nonomi’s back seemed to have a predators instinct that guided Nonomi. They saw Doc Uzuki as a timid rabbit to chase and eventually love and protect. Doc was a petite and fragile looking man who took some time to stop being afraid and start being intrigued by “Yakuza-san”. They were in every way opposites and their romance was challenging (even for the author apparently) but it worked and I loved every bit of the story, even the more disturbing parts were authentic for the characters.

Simply, perfectly adorable. Childhood friends Rei (from a poor background) and Makoto (young master, son of large hospital owner) reunite after 7 years. These boys met when Rei saved Makoto from bullies and the shy little Makoto patched him up. For years the devoted Makoto tended any injuries Rei incurred but after school they went their separate ways; Makoto became a doctor and Rei a host dedicated to making money. When they reunited that lifetime of trust blossomed into love and a beautiful story of being in love and communication. Truly sweet and adorable, this is worth a read Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→

Loved it, but no time to write comments

A world of beast/ human hybrids living in tribes with one gender and low birth rates? Awesome! I loved the concept and Kin (omega of the housecat tribe) and Kumo (alpha of the mountain wolf tribe) were great. I thought that it was perfect to have all the little babies. From Tou who grew up to have his own romance, to his 6 little siblings who were given away like weaned kittens to families with love to spare. That was such a surprise, yet it also was so generous and part of being a rare omega capable of giving birth to so many with an alpha partner. No wonder omegas are treasured, it really was a unique idea. I also loved all the sexy scenes and appreciate the uncensored art. Overall, an entertaining and different story that was fun to read with lots of cute babies.

Gentle Kyo had always been the sickly younger brother and Asuka the adventurous explorer. When Asuka sent his expedition partner Krieg back home to have his broken foot attended by Kyo (now a doctor), the panther beast man was upset at being tricked and left behind, and enraged at being cared for by a human. He lashed out by brutally raping Kyo, slicing him with his claws and choking him. This was not the typical trope rape from losing control over lust for the other. This was from hatred and rage and it was witnessed by the young cat beast person who was the doctors helper. They were seriously traumatised by what they saw, and that added a depth to the rape that I feel the author failed to address. The kind hearted doctor may have been forgiving (with a weak “you have always been kind to beast people! Remember when that one stole your wallet?” analogy… Riight… being brutally sodomised is just like having your wallet pinched, no worries. Anyway, leaving the rape aside, the rest of the relationship was better. Slowly Krieg became more gentle as he saw the town where beasts and people got on well. The beast man and doctor fell for each other, the older brother returned for Krieg and the rest of the story was much more pleasant. However, I am giving this story 2 stars because the rape was so very poorly dealt with and I don’t want to read this one again.
