Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #stalker(26)

Trigger Warning: Dubious consent, rape, stalking Yuzu Hayami is an ordinary, overworked college student with a part time job. That is until he gets rescued by Shun Nashimoto, 23yo popular Host, bisexual and the guy to save Yuzu. That’s because Yuzu has traveled 5 years into the future only to be lost without a home, ID, money or even any idea as to what’s happening. Despite the story having lots of dubious consent and rape/ attempted rape, most of the interactions between the MCs was consensual (though sometimes the uke just got swept along). The story was interesting though perhaps a little fast paced.

A tough punk with a soft spot for plushies, Daigoro has a crush on honour student Kazuki and even goes so far as to stalk his classmate. Kazuki is not bothered by the intimidating delinquent. Quite the opposite. When these two get close a comedy of crazy in love follows. I loved these guys. They were adorably crazy for each other and actually loved the real person behind the front that others saw.

A cute but basic story (needed some more pages to make falling for the doctor more believable). I enjoy a good stalker story. The doctor was definitely a bit of a pervert but a sweet one.

Two good stories, though the first was easily the best because there was love between the MCs, neighbours Taku and Hiromu. The second couple with the stalker and the gay host was stranger and darker. No mutual love, only one sided and both guys were odd in their own way.

Cute bottom Tatsuya Miike embraces his lifestyle of no-strings-attached hookups with straight virgin guys. No commitment, no expectations and no second times. Tonight’s guy is a little different though… I thought that this story of stalking and obsessed Kotaroh and the surprisingly clingy Tatsuya was adorable. When you read the title you don’t realise that it suits both MCs. Both are a little dysfunctional but together they work. Tatsuya actually needed an obsessive partner who would treasure his own hidden need to belong with someone and cling, and Kotaroh treasured every bit of Tatsuya. For me, this was a fun read. One of those, “there is someone for everyone” romances. The second oneshot of crossdressing friend was cute. The understanding and acceptance was sweet, though it would have been nice to see their relationship develop at a slower pace without the dubious consent scene.

Spoiled son of a business CEO, college student Tatsuki is a hotheaded rich kid tired of sleeping around with girls. After his friends suggest he try a guy he sets his sights on Miyako Hirota and finds himself drawn into the web of a high functioning sociopath. Lots of twists and some mind games in this story. Miyako is not very loveable, but he is absolutely obsessed with Tatsuki in ways he himself finds disconcerting. I liked that Tatsuki was no easy pushover but at the same time he got swept along in the madness. Definitely an interesting romance, in a dark, ‘are you sure about this?’ kind of way.

Some crazy stories about obsessive love. Let down (for me) by the forcing sex too early but there was mutual feelings of love by the end of each. Some light kinks and lots of sexy times, I really liked the stories

Some nice short stories, many of which were set around various characters associated with a S&M club. However, most of them were not even true S or Ms, so why bother with the setting? Wasted opportunity. My favourite story was the single dads. Their kids were cute and for all that it was very short, I liked the skinship between the 2 MCs, it was quite romantic and sweet.

Seems that lots of readers found Yamada’s stalker like tendencies problematic, but I loved his super possessive nature and slightly yanderish obsession with Chino. As an ex delinquent, Chino could more than hold his own against Yamada if needed and there were a few instances of him putting his foot down (on Yamada’s chest lol). I think that what made me like Yamada so much is that he is fiercely protective of Chino and the stalker prince has a surprisingly gentle nature. So for me, this was a winner!

Ch.1-3 & ch. 7: Takkun and Stalker Boy Tall and tough looking, Kaneko Takuma is a high schooler whose secret hobby is making cute accessories. Petite and cute behind his long bangs and glasses, Maki Junpei is a rather eccentric classmate who stalks Takuma with frightening devotion. Gifting love letters and creepily uncanny stuffed toys as presents, Takuma felt increasing dread over his relentless stalker. That was until he saw Junpei’s adorably cute face. The rest of the story included a kind delinquent and a crazy stalker falling for each other, with countless obsessive kinks including the desire to consume all of Takuma’s bodily fluids. It’s weird and awkward and just a little cringe, but still surprisingly cute. Ch. 4: Canvas the Color of the Sky 1st year Yoshizawa Minato stumbled upon his 2nd year senpai, Takafuji, on the balcony of his otherwise empty art room. After freaking out and running away, the two became friends over art with Takafuji hiding a mysterious secret. Ch. 5: Gentle Pain Very short oneshot about masochist Jun and his old friend, Tomo. Even though Tomo is not a natural sadist, he bites and inflicts pain on his friend to indulge his sexual fetish. Ch. 6: Beloved Nipples Very, very short story about nipple play. Ch. 6 extra: As You Please Delinquent student Kasa gets some private tutoring from the class president, Sakanaoe. Cute story, with a misunderstanding that needed resolving between the pair.
