Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #mature(72)

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

This is a bunch of very erotic yaoi one shots!

Akira Norikazu is one of my favourite mangaka and this manga is a fine example of why. With truly beautiful artwork, the seme’s in this collection are powerful looking, frequently dangerous men who fall almost instantly for beautiful guys in a ‘forever’ kind of way. With yakuza in most of these, Akira Norikazu has opportunity to draw these men as dangerous predators you wouldn’t want to mess with (eg. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/kyou_hana_no_gotoshi/mf/v01/c001/24/ ). Such lucky uke’s!

This is a truly outstanding piece of work with the most beautiful MCs and artwork, and a storyline that is consistently immersive and enjoyable. Iwaki-san and Kato have to be the most “in love” couple I have ever come across in a yaoi. I always worry with a longer series that an author may start annoying trope like infidelity and destroying a relationship for a while to keep a plot moving but this mangaka never once resorted to such predictable plots. Instead, we are given a relationship that starts out in rivalry and ends with true love that is openly acknowledged. We have characters whose love life is consistently hot, passionate and inventive and who always manage to seem to adore the other both in bed and out. They learn from their mistakes and grow and change yet remain perfect for each other. There is intense possessiveness without caging or restricting the other and a genuine desire for the other to succeed in their life. This means that as they grow older they never grow apart, indeed they simply seem to appreciate the other more and how lucky they are to have them in their lives. It really has been one of the best stories I have come across, deserves 10 stars ️ ️️️️️️️️️

Another great story from Naono Bohra with this unlikely couple being just perfect together. I loved the combination of the older uke with the sculpted and masculine face and body, and the younger, somewhat predatory seme.

Enjoyable bunch of stories, though I probably wouldn’t re-read the one where the guy wasted 7 years and then started hooking up with another guy instead of making a move or being more direct.

A hot, uncensored short of a fetish opportunity this seme wasn’t going to miss.

Different. More obsession than love, there was not much evidence of caring in these stories.

I liked the collection of stories, and they weren’t so short that there was no emotional connection to be found. I liked the snow chapter and the age gap story most. The incest one fell a little short because they seemed burdened by the sin of their actions and were not able to develop a deeper connection.

Stories like this are the reason I love yaoi
