Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #glasses-wearing uke(3)

Brothers (YAMAMOTO Kotetsuko)

Complete | YAMAMOTO Kotetsuko | 2001 released

I loved this story with the little pocket sized uke who looks like a teen and his beautifully stoic new step brother. Contrary to some other reviewers I appreciated the pace of this manga. There was always a feeling that the English brother had some deep emotions stirring for his new sibling, but if they had acted on that sooner it would have trivialised their loss of their parents. After all, they had just met and become family. When the first stolen kisses were given it was so sweet, and when things fell apart I felt the pangs for sensei as he walked the silent house. It all made the eventual HEA so much sweeter. Beautiful artwork too, and I loved how Yamamoto Kotesuko drew the pretty and feminine friend and the beautiful yet masculine younger brother most particularly.

Cute stories, just missing something to make them special. Like the first one, so much time spent apart..it was like they didn’t really prioritise each other.

A good group of stories ranging from a pervert music sensei who falls for a student at first sight to a step brother who strives his best to catch his big brothers attention. Some of the stories end before the relationship becomes solid which is a let down for me, but I did enjoy them as light entertainment.
