Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #love(18)

A real scorcher of a read from beginning to end An excellent example of a trusting S&M pairing

Opposites attract in this surprisingly sweet and funny story. Loved it!

Only problem was that the characters from the different stories, especially the uke, looked so similar that it was hard to initially differentiate the stories from each other. Most of the stories were sweet.

While the 1st couple were my favourite, I loved the interconnectedness of all of them. This was such a sweet friends to lovers story, well worth a re read.

I loved reading the love story of Ao and Ryoumei, these guys were complex characters with interesting personalities and a unique history that gave them depth and made it impossible to put this wonderful story down. Add to this some truly likeable friends with Shunpei and Shuu-chan and then you get this wonderful series. Loved it!!!

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.

Beautiful story with just the right amount of angst. Two great couples in different stages of their life but in the same industry and both venturing into a new love with a familiar face. Nitta Youka creates such sexy men and isn’t shy of intimate scenes. Definitely worth a read.

Kaede-san and Rintarou-kun are beyond adorable in this story. I love the possessive intensity of Kade for Rintarou as well as his sadistic streak. I love Rintarou-kuns gentle personality and kindness; he is the perfect kenage uke for someone as obsessive and calculating as Kaede. I think what makes them work so well is that there is never any doubt for the reader that their love for each other is deep and beautiful, though both guys have their moments of insecurity. Be aware that this is a R-18 yaoi, with plenty of uncensored sex and lots of creativity in the bedroom. Personally, I loved it because even in the hottest scenes there would be a kiss or hug or even a shared look or a blush that just blatantly highlighted the depth of love between these guys.

I enjoyed these (except for chapter 4). There were some intense relationships, and they were all a little different from the norm. Plenty of sexy times, some eyebrow raising scenarios.. Good fun and worth a re read.

Great story, I loved the way we got to see the inner sexy thoughts that were filling Kakei’s head when they went out to dinner and how hot they were for each other. His inner monologue really added some intensity.
