Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #office worker(28)

Hirose Akira was an employee of a famous family run company and had been gaining more responsibilities as he steadily rose through the ranks. That was until he made a move on the wife of the company President’s youngest son, Shigeharu Tomoya. Then his world crumbled and he was left to make amends to the beautiful cheated spouse. The more time Akira spent with Tomoya though, the more he was captivated by his gentle boss and the more he realised his attention and affection were well and truly caught. I liked the dynamic between this couple and the little twists in the plot that caught me by surprise. These guys were adorable.

I liked these short stories. The first was about an office worker and the high school guy he pursued. He was very patient of the younger guys uncertainty about his sexuality especially when you realise that he was responding to the longing glances and flushed arousal signals the younger partner initiated. By backing off he gave his partner the space and time needed to accept and be open about his feelings. The second story I also really liked. Another age gap, the seme was more than twice the age of his younger coworker and initially resistant to the advances of the uke. His reason for hesitating was understandable and the uke’s reaction to him agreeing was very cute. The third story about the misunderstanding between established lovers was my least favourite. It was short and harder to connect with the characters and understand the overreaction. The final story was taboo brother x brother and quite erotic (especially given that they didn’t have sex) and even humorous. One brother pretended to be a sleepwalker, the other took advantage of his sleeping onii-chan and both felt guilty. Open, unresolved ending, I would have liked to see how it progressed.

A good group of stories ranging from a pervert music sensei who falls for a student at first sight to a step brother who strives his best to catch his big brothers attention. Some of the stories end before the relationship becomes solid which is a let down for me, but I did enjoy them as light entertainment.

When Namura Tsutomu consumes high caloric foods he becomes uncontrollably erect. Kaiyama is the urologist from the human research institute who steps in to monitor and treat Namura’s fascinating condition, along with his young assistant, Masaki. Namura is resigned to the uncomfortable restrictions imposed by Kaiyama until he meets the handsome heir to his company, Shiga Haruka. Now, Namura may just get to experience his first non caloric erection at the gentle hands of Shiga. I enjoyed a lot of elements in the story, from Shiga’s acceptance of Namura to the fun inclusion of chastity belts, public sex and cock piercings. I found the story was let down by the urologist and his assistant as their purpose was ambiguous and the hints of a relationship between them went nowhere.

Kondou Takayuki hates his boss from the bottom of his heart!! Takagi Toshinobu is mean, heartless, cruel, insensitive... a true sadist! And only to Kondou, by the way! He's perfectly nice to everyone else. A cute story of a sadistic manager who likes to bully the one he loves. For all that Takahiro can be horrible, he was also sweetly eloquent at times in expressing his love and he very clearly adores Kondou. Also contained a oneshot about a busy rising success at the office who hires a maid service only to get a man living with and caring for him for the next month. It was really sweet.

Trigger Warning: Rape (not done by MC) Young and filling in for a friend at his work, Serizawa recognises an old, familiar face in his new boss, Ikuta. However, the kind, gentle man from before is almost unrecognisable from the serious boss and even more so from the cynical man whore that is Ikuta after hours. So who really is Ikuta? And why does Serizawa suddenly feel protective of the older man?

I seriously disliked the first couple. It made no sense that the seme treated the uke like that. Also made no sense that the uke went back for more. I didn’t feel good connections in these

Beautiful art and great stories. With the main demon story being the best, the other oneshots were wonderful too. I love this mangaka’s talent with dangerously protective semes and feisty but sweet ukes. Having a 3P story hidden in here was a real gem too.

Naive new salaryman, Takamine doesn’t make the best first impression. Nor 2nd, 3rd or 4th for that matter. A lifetime of study and no friends has left the 30yo socially inept. That’s when Okumura is asked to help . Getting to know the gentle man has Okumura falling unwillingly in love. The older man is afraid to love and be abandoned so he plans to keep Takamine as a friend. But Takamine isn’t going to give up easy. This was a very sweet story with two older men falling in love for the first time.

Cute main story and extra oneshots. I really liked the sweetness of the MCs; sometimes adorable and fluffy characters are just what you need.
