Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #host(15)

Trigger Warning: Dubious consent, rape, stalking Yuzu Hayami is an ordinary, overworked college student with a part time job. That is until he gets rescued by Shun Nashimoto, 23yo popular Host, bisexual and the guy to save Yuzu. That’s because Yuzu has traveled 5 years into the future only to be lost without a home, ID, money or even any idea as to what’s happening. Despite the story having lots of dubious consent and rape/ attempted rape, most of the interactions between the MCs was consensual (though sometimes the uke just got swept along). The story was interesting though perhaps a little fast paced.

Trigger Warning: Dubious consent Story 1 with the sliced up and self centred host and the muscled bodyguard who wanted to be at his side was rather messed up. Apple wasn’t very likeable and the bodyguard’s actions during the attack made him rather awful too. Though they ended up being good with each other, their relationship left a bit of an unpleasant taste. Story 2 with the call boy forcing the straight host was not one for me. The call boy was seriously unlikeable and there was no caring between the guys. It was simply a smut story. Story 3 with the 40yo divorced programmer and his housekeeper (young enough to be his son) was the story that I liked. They shared a loneliness and attraction that was much more romantic and each filled unmet needs in the other. I would happily reread this one.

Two good stories, though the first was easily the best because there was love between the MCs, neighbours Taku and Hiromu. The second couple with the stalker and the gay host was stranger and darker. No mutual love, only one sided and both guys were odd in their own way.

Two interconnected stories, both of which were lots of fun and sweet. The first couple were Tamotsu (recently dumped after he caught his gf cheating) and the ikeman call boy/ delivery boy Asahi who was accidentally ordered by Tamotsu after a binge night of drinking to drown his sorrows. Most fluffy story with a host/ call boy I have read, Asahi was a cheerful type. The second story was an age gap with Harada from the restaurant in the first story and the spoiled, filterless millennial, Yuuma who barged into his nicely ordered world. At first, Yuuma was jarring in his selfishness but he blossomed under Harada’s care. Very sweet.

Two interrelated stories. In the first there are the host Leo, and chef Jin. An ex gang member, Jin knows what it’s like to need a hand up sometimes, so when he finds Leo homeless in the rain one night, he takes him home. As a thanks, Leo happily performs sexual favours on the bewildered Jin. A cute story, though personally I found Leo not the most likeable character, however the older Jin was a sweetie. The second story was very good. Cafe worker, Kaname had a huge unrequited love for their much older boss. There’s more to the quiet cafe owner than meets the eye, but this pair know a lot of each other’s secrets.
