Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #neighbour(4)

No Color

Complete | natsume isaku | 2005 released

Opposites attract in this beautifully story full of relatable characters and beautiful art. I loved the patience this rather impatient looking seme had in his gentle pursuit of his neighbour. I loved that the seme was the more emotional and flustered of the pair but at the same time he was very determined in pursuing Sakamoto. Lots of good, fluffy feels from this manga.

These short stories had potential but the dialogue let it down. I agree with the other comments on this manga that the scanlation team seemed to lose something in translation. So there was miscommunication in a story dealing with miscommunication.

Kuroneko wa Shippo de Amaeru

Complete | FUJIKAWA Ruri | 2000 released

Neighbours Kazuya and Sakaguchi-san spend afternoons together after the younger Kazuya finds a kitten he is unable to keep. Sakaguchi volunteers to look after the kitten for his shy neighbour and the two vastly different men fall for each other as they spend time together. There was nothing ground shaking with this plot but it was still a sweet story with some beautiful artwork and likeable characters.

Tadareta Koi ni wa Itashimasen!

Complete | RAKUTA Shoko | 2018 released

I totally loved this story. The scruffy country bumpkin Kyouhei-kun with who is so delightfully reactive and naive. The stylish badboy playboy Takara who was raised in Tokyo and loves to tease his new cat like neighbour (insanely afraid of bugs). These two together is like pouring gasoline on a bonfire but the sparks are pretty and they have much more depth than their surface shows. Recommended read with fantastic art.
