Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #university(23)

A genius seme who looks clueless, a clueless uke who looks like a genius. Sweet story with some good humour.

What a sweet story! It was the translators first time translating and editing apparently, its a shame they didn't get an English first language speaker to edit because the grammar was annoying at times. Still, the art and story was enjoyable.

As always, Ogawa Chise gives another beautifully drawn story with all the feels

A series of one shots with a theme of bullying the one you love. There was no extreme bullying, it mostly seemed like it was some low level sadism or diverting attention for new feelings.

Poor Keiji struggled so hard to be master of his own destiny but Hiro is just too adorably irresistible I gave in to his first blush and hopeful gaze!

Some cute stories with the last one being my favourite. The first one was different. I am not sure if I liked the uke much but his approach to wanting to be the “pitcher” in a relationship was a new one for me.

Cute interconnected stories with visits from other characters by this mangaka that crossover via friendship groups. I loved the first pair the most (Ozawa x Miyata). Friends temporarily sharing a dorm room are slow to realise their strong feelings for each other. I did feel sorry for the girlfriend in the story, but it was great to see a MC properly end a relationship before starting a new one (and I love friends to lovers stories).

These were very cute stories. The first pair were a salaryman with a fetish for uniforms who falls in love at first sight with the high school uniform wearing friend of his younger brother. Only this guy is a college student who dislikes those who fall for his looks before knowing him. Determined to bully the older man into crying and leaving him, Seki becomes increasingly shocked and intrigued at the unexpected responses from Mamorou at every turn. The second story was short but sweet. Ousei and Ichirou dated briefly in high school, but the inexperienced Ichirou faltered before the driving passion of his partner and ran away. Feeling awkward and embarrassed, both boys avoided each other only to bump into each other in college. The story follows their reunion and friendship as Ousei makes a startling confession that may lead to second chances at love. The final story was my favourite. Yuu was a 3rd year college student used to freely loving a range of sex friends. He sets his sights on 1st year student and otaku Takuma after becoming aware of a shared interest in a screenwriters works. This story was so sweet as it delved into the insecurities and happiness of two guys who found the perfect someone.

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.

An enjoyable story, plenty of sexy scenes and two very pretty MCs. I like that they are a couple comfortable with switching and that they are equally obsessed with each other. The ending felt a touch rushed, mostly because the foxes issues seem both overly impactful given what happened to him and yet managed too easily in the end.
