Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #incest(73)

A highly twisted story; dark and depraved where you can’t help but to feel a bit sorry for the boy who was always overlooked in favour of his sibling. There is nothing nice or cute about this story, but it was interesting. And disturbing.

Trigger warning: Incest (brother x brother) Hideyomi (Omi, 18yo) and Hideyuki (Nini, 16yo) Togame are brothers who live in their own quiet world sans parents. The older Omi had suffered an accident that left him comatose for months and then a changed person with some retrograde amnesia and a more childlike mind. The relationship between the siblings was both complex and very simple. Their closeness was forbidden but their love and dedication towards each other was really sweet. Add in a good friend for Yuki and a cousin who was his doctor and you have the main characters for this lovely yet often melancholy story. I really enjoyed it.

Trigger Warning: Incest (uncle x nephew) Kurebe Tooru is orphaned as a child and is taken in by his maternal grandfather. Living with his grandfather and uncle (mother’s younger brother) gave Tooru some stability but over time he developed feelings for his uncle that were forbidden. Little did he know that his uncle was tormented by forbidden feelings of his own. This story follows the uncle and nephew over years and through other relationships. I felt a bit sorry for sensei (Tooru’s lover at college) because he loved Tooru. Usually, if someone loves somebody else I would hate them being in another relationship, but when your love is so forbidden you can understand why they do everything other than pursue it. What will it take for this pair to realise their love for each other is reciprocated? This story will take you through the twists and turns of a love that won’t be ignored.

It was love at first sight for Tatsuya (26yo) when he saw Haru playing piano at the bar where he worked. Not willing to let the younger man slip through his fingers he instantly pursued Haru and the two started an intense relationship that would be full of surprises. I loved the twists and turns in the story that came with each new revelation. Pretty art too, especially for an older story.

When they were young, the parents of Toosaka Izumi and Yano Kaoru divorced and also separated the young siblings. Over the years they lost touch so when Kaoru came to be a freshman at Izumi’s high school his older brother didn’t recognise him. This beautifully drawn story follows their reconnection and falling in love. It was really sweet and the mangaka did a great job of traversing the many conflicting emotions and choices that faced this pair.

Three stories about seemingly regular guys with dirty, perverted secrets. 23 O’clock Time Shift: A high school student live streams himself masturbating and playing with sex toys. When a fellow student guesses that he is the masked star known as Tomo everything changes. Can’t Be A Dreaming Little Girl: Shou is senpai to his neighbour Takuma and the two have been good friends since they were little. Shou has a little secret though. He hides his love for Takuma and the deep desire to be considered cute by his kouhai. And under his uniform, he hides that he wears girls lingerie. Theorem of the Equilateral Triangle: An AV store employee helps one of his sick customers home, only to find out that the sweating and moans weren’t due to fever and the buzzing from behind wasn’t a phone on vibrate.. this is a pure smut story about brothers where one likes to control the others pleasure and the stranger who gets drawn into their world.

Stalemate: An uncle and his nephew have spent years developing a strong relationship over chess and good company. Now in his final year of high school there are new choices and stronger feelings to act upon. It’s a cute story, the nephew has loved his uncle for years and they have a good bond between each other. Holding Hands Together: A sweet reunion between distant relatives who have now grown up. Fond memories of first love and holding hands have to adjust to who they are now as adults. Getting Close To A Cat: My favourite story of the 3, this one had more humour with the scary cat obsessed school delinquent falling for the caretaker of a cat shrine who literally embodies the adorable fluff balls.

Terminally ill Takahashi Miya has heard rumours of an underground club at his university where there are wild parties and orgies. When he sees the leader of the club Kanou Rei he can believe it as the older student has a dangerous air about him. When he is called over to meet him however, he becomes drawn to the mystery of the charismatic man who seems familiar. Just who is this guy and how does he know so much about Miya? I enjoyed this story. Don’t read spoilers and experience the unfolding mystery of the beautiful Rei just as Miya does. The love in this story is next level, and the art is beautifully drawn too.

A couple of short stories. The first one was very kinky and followed 2 brothers where the younger was the seme and practiced sounding on his older sibling who was a teacher. Heavy focus on urethra play with stretching and urethra insemination. The second story was about 2 dogs in a pet store. The older dog used toys to initiate his doggie lover. These stories are both a little different and not for everyone.

Two good stories with some beautiful artwork. Immoral Love: Touya has loved his brother for years, secretly desiring his nii-san since he hit puberty and had his first sexual experience watching Naoto masturbate. He is hurt and hopeless when he realises Naoto is in love with their dad but when their father finds a new partner everything falls apart. There was a lot of emotion in this story. Both siblings were the type to put the one they loved first and make personal sacrifices to see them happy. Their relationship together took time because Naoto needed that to realise the love he had for the dad and his brother were completely different, just not in the way he expected. Love Moratorium: Kisaragi Rei was a famous AV actor. Dodging from some fans one day he hid in the arms of a tall man who seemed familiar. Sasake Manabu remembered Rei and wasn’t about to let the cheerful man slip through his fingers. His outrageous proposal would make sure of that.
