Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #guys with kids(11)

Koishite Daddy

Complete | KITAZAWA Kyou | 2011 released

I enjoyed this sweet story, it was a good blend of heartwarming and yaoi style chemistry. I thought little Rin was an adorable bundle of energy, and the MCs were lovely together. I know there is some negative feedback on the slap the seme gave, but of all the things you read where a seme treats his uke like crap, this was nothing like that. It came from that transition from terror over losing a child to overwhelming relief they are safe to disbelief, hurt and rage that Rin’s safe recovery was kept secret. Then before he had time to process things, he lashed out. I think if it had been a mom who slapped, it would be more understood, and while violence is never ok, it was at least, understandable.

Bokura no Shokutaku

One of those beautiful stories that tugs at the heartstrings.

Oh My Hero!

Complete | Cocomi | 2017 released

Really sweet, they made such a lovely family together.

Kozure Ookami (INOUE Satou)

Complete | inoue satou | 2009 released

These were pretty good stories, though it wasn’t smooth sailing for these guys (most of them identified as straight after all). I liked the art style a lot. My main critique would be that sometimes it was a little tricky to follow.

Oyasuminasai No Ato Wa

Complete | kabano sakadachi | 2015 released

Single omega parent with a history of being a delinquent who slept with anyone and an alpha kindergarten owner with a history of raping his best friend when a teen (alpha first exposed to omega). Both characters carry the wounds of their past that shape their present. Is their love enough to forge a future together? The story was a nice read, not one I would read again but it had plenty of sweet moments and little omega’s babies.

Kazoku Ni Narouyo

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2016 released

This was a very sweet story about three childhood friends, businessman and soft hearted Chiaki, tsundere yankee Kazuma and adventurous Tomoe. When Tomoe has a baby but has to travel for work, Shen entrusts her daughter into the care of the men she trusts the most, the long term couple, Kazuma and Chiaki. What follows in this story is the deepening of the bonds of love and family in this new unit and the continued love between the three friends. Very sweet and adorable.

As the main caregiver of his little brother Aoi, Riku comes into the sphere of Aoi’s best friends’ guardian, Takashi; a man who had just the night before drunkenly offered $300 to spend the night with him. That rocky start turned into a sweet and wholesome age gap romance between Riku and Takashi. I really enjoyed this guys with kids story.

Take to Kota to Aoto

Complete | Akabeko | 2000 released

Completed story This was a sweet story about young single dad Take, his adorably bratty son Kota, and the new kindergarten sensei, Aota. For ex yankee Take, raising his son alone after his wife left has been full of challenges. But the anxieties of being a good parent were matched by the loneliness he found after old friends drifted away and his partner left with a new man. So when Aota praised him for being strong and doing his best, he broke down in his arms. That vulnerable moment bonded this seemingly mismatched pair and their story was really lovely to read. Falling for each other was natural and the little family really were heartwarming. I loved the art for Take, he had such a cute delinquent look that was still remarkably vulnerable. Loved the story.
