Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #glasses(7)

A cute and simple little story fully coloured and worth a read.

Sweet slice of this couple’s life together that leaves you smiling. I loved the “he’s so cute!” moment in the beginning, that was so innocently adorable. The ending felt like there was room for more but even without, you know these two will continue being so good for each other.

Lots of negative comments on this, but I loved the selfish, golden boy seme and how he bulldozed right through Kishi’s social barriers. Sudou was possessive over Kishi, I loved that too. I didn’t find the “can I rape you” moment offensive as the consent was evident and established clearly. To me he was showing the force of his desire to dominate his little uke, and that was hot a.f. I liked that Sudou pushed boundaries and that he bought out self confidence in Kishi. Read this if you like your seme to be dominant, possessive and self confident. Avoid if the mention of rape, even in a consensual encounter, is a trigger.

The working conditions were awful but these two were cute

I love when a bad boy falls for a good guy and in this manga there are two adorable couples to follow. The first story has the cute Aya-chan who has a predisposition (as he calls it) to make people fall wildly in love with him when he doesn’t wear his protective glasses. Off to a new school full of frightening delinquents, he catches the attention of number one scary guy, Horiguchi. What I really like about this story is that Horiguchi is a genuinely scary guy able and willing to fight when needed but he is so very possessive and protective of Aya-chan. This story is classic opposites attract and full of surprises and sweet moments. The second story follows Horiguchi’s older brother when he was at school and met the boy he loved. Another delinquent but this time paired with a masochist who can see the pain beneath the bullies mask, these guys were absolutely adorable. I loved their story.

Two stories set in school. The first featured childhood friends to lovers and was cute because the handsome seme loved his partner just as he was. The second featured a seme who was abused at home and the cute guy he falls for who is a sweet, family loving guy. I preferred the second story, it was a deeper relationship and their growing understanding of each other was touching.

Shishio: 21yo. Raised and shaped in poverty, Shishio was a brute juggernaut of an omega. The only one who had his respect was Masumi, the young yakuza boss who found him and mentored him into the group. Any softness in Shishio was for the one he wanted to pair with. Masami: 33yo alpha and young boss of the Yoshigane Group. For all his beauty, Masami was not a man to cross. He may be the young boss, but he would give up his position for Shishio. I loved the art, and having such a strong omega in the plot made this irresistible. Masami had a slightly crazy side too which was appealing. Only downside for me was that the story wrapped some obstacles up too easily or swiftly, but the bond between this alpha and omega was great.
