Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #roommates(25)

Tomodachi Ijou no Koto, Shitai.

Complete | KURAHASHI Tomo | 2015 released

One of my favourite tropes; childhood best friends to lovers. University students Suga and Hara have been living together in the city after being best friends all throughout school. Suga has been hiding his love for Hara for years, content to be by his side as his most important friend. But Hara’s reaction to walking in on Suga masturbating over Hara’s jacket put Suga in a spin. This pair are adorably clueless at times when it comes to expressing their feelings, but watching them realise just what the other feels made up for all that dithering. Very cute story with nice art.

Living With Him

Complete | miyata toworu | 2000 released

Read the official translation: Things are in better order and it has the Yaoi chapter. Natsukawa Ryouta had always been a bit of a ‘house husband’ growing up. He liked caring for his mom and sister, but was looking forward to living alone in college. That was until his mom and her good friend decided that their boys could live together and save money. Now Ryouta’s childhood friend, the ex baseball player with a sparkling aura has moved in and it doesn’t take long to reestablish the bonds between Ryouta and Tanaka Kazuhito. Their story is full of honesty and heart. This sweet, fluffy feel good story is one to add to the favourites pile.

A rare gem; a yaoi set in the dom/sub world! I have only found a couple, usually I have to go to novels to find the dynamic seen here. This was fantastic, I loved the MCs, the art, everything. Number 1 school delinquent Teranishi Kikuma rebels against rules and orders. He fights, absconds, and is a general wild child. That is, until he was informed of his secondary gender – an early presenting sub who needed a master. Riding the waves of disbelief, Kikuma moved into his new dorm and met his roommate, dorm leader Uryuu Takasumi. The smiling and gentle senior wasn’t threatening him, so why was every part of his body on alert?

This is a gem! Artistically beautiful and two MCs who are good for each other, want the best for each other, and seriously adorable!

Mao must never reveal Hisashi's secret that he is gay II. Hisashi won't look at Mao as a romantic interest III. Neither of them can get in the way of the other's "personal needs” time Things go well until Hisashi agrees to act in the BL movie being filmed by Mao’s film club. A movie with a kissing scene!

Jigoku no Sata mo Yokume Shidai

Ongoing | Takami itsu | 2019 released

This was a really cute delinquent story set in the all boys dorm of Hadoma High School. Problem child Yohei Goshi is a source of constant trouble for his teachers; cutting class, staying out all night, and not doing his tasks. In contrast, the new junior captain of the judo team and dorm leader, Itsuki Ashiba is trusted by everyone at school. It’s a clash of wills that leads to a closer relationship than expected. I really liked this pair. Savvy jocks and clueless delinquents; check! Sexy clashes; check! Read again?; check!
