Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #gay marriage and adoption(2)

So Cute?

Complete | Yukimura | 2000 released

Really enjoyable main story and most of the others too. The historical story was one I foresaw a bad ending in from the moment the era was revealed.

Utsumuku Shisen

Complete | Takaku Shouko | 2005 released

This is very sweet. Told mostly in flashback style, these guys meet in the most unromantic of circumstances in hospital and went on to become very much in love with each other. The cheerful seme and more serious, introverted uke are good for each other too; it’s not just the uke who gains confidence and starts engaging more with the world around him, but he brings a sense of security and strength out in the seme as they each become confident in the others feelings.
