Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #rivals(14)

Amaenbo Honey

Complete | TOBIDASE Kevin | 2018 released

Trigger warning: Forced sex but author handles it well Fantastic Omegaverse story with great art, hot MCs, and ofc, a really interesting storyline. Tsubame (omega) and Miyama (alpha) have been neighbours and competitive rivals since infancy. One day when fighting Tsubame finally wins, only to go into unexpected heat. The guys relationship goes through some huge challenges but Tsubame isn’t going to let anything stop him from making things work. This story includes a fair amount of their families input, and both families are loving alpha/omega units. It’s rare to see yaoi where the families are like this, and they added so much depth to the story. No more spoilers, just give this one a read Sequel to Abarenbo Honey.

Ore no Kirai na Senpai

Complete | Haruyama Moto | 2000 released

A sweeter story than the synopsis hints at. Second year Kiyoharu Azuma is the school playboy with a reputation of sleeping with many girls and moving on. Freshman student Sano has started high school with a goal to be popular with the girls and his prospects for popularity look great, except for Azuma-senpai. When he finds the girl he had been crushing on in a compromising position with Azuma, Sano angrily locks him in a kabedon only to find himself faced with the gently blushing form of the guy he thinks of as his most hated person. Only something in him is responding to that face. So begins a change in their relationship and the dawning awareness for the reader that Sano is surprisingly dominant. As these boys fall for each other their romance is full of lots of sweet moments and I really loved the vulnerability of Azuma. A recommended feel good story with a hot connection between the characters.

A sweet reunion story with some serious company rivalry and all the funny cringe of sleeping with the enemy.

Umaimon Kuwasero!

Complete | Nitta Youka | 1998 released

An enjoyable old style manga about 2 highly competitive chefs and their respective careers. I didn’t really feel any good connection for them to fall in love at first but as the story progressed spanning years you could see that they were a good fit. The oneshot in the middle was a serious flop for me.
