Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #unrequited love(111)

Kirai ni wa Narenai

Complete | YUZUYA Haruhi | 2018 released

I liked this continuation story from Suki tti Iu na! Shinohara and Okui were already striking sparks off each other in that story, I had been hoping they would be given their own manga and fall for each other and despite their being such opposites their relationship was sweet to read them finding common ground. I also had to laugh at how much Shinohara was like his cousin when it came to being open to everyone about him being in love with Okui. I also enjoyed the story of the first year who made predictions and his senpai. Another sweet case of opposites attract and I liked the little plot twist at the end.

Omg, so damn hot and sexy. Love restrained for two years but not diminished, when these guys get together the only one left hot and bothered was me

Seishun Runaway

Complete | OTSU Kimiko | 2017 released

A real slice of life with interconnected characters and a couple of romances. Worth a read.

Kocchi Muite, Ai

Complete | michinoku atami | 2015 released

Outstandingly real characters, beautiful art with expressive and attractive features and hot, uncensored sexy scenes make this a top tier yaoi. Full credit to the author.

The End Kara Hajimaru Junai

Complete | SAKURAI Reiko | 2014 released

Thought the sex friend was a real bastard to treat his lover like that (deliberately making sure he saw the sex). It’s not as if he loved him and was fighting for him, he was just being a dick. Was nice to see them a year down the track, wasn’t sure if the uke would settle with one special guy.

Kiss Blue

Complete | Kinoshita Keiko | 2006 released

A love story of friends to lovers. The thing is, the seme was such a womanising playboy that even with a happy ending the uke will never be comfortable trusting his lover. Understandable given his history of two and even three timing on his girlfriends. Idk, I find that rather sad. I kind of liked the flirty manager more, he had a kindness to him that was appealing under that flirty exterior. I was sad to see he had his own unrequited love story and impressed with his maturity in dealing with the guy he loved (like making sure he prioritised his family and not drinking around him to avoid any “blame it on the alcohol” moments).

Close the Last Door

Complete | YAMADA Yugi | 2001 released

One of the best manga ever! Honda and Nagai are soo adorable, I think they work together much more than Saitou and Nagai would. They have the intensity and sexual chemistry plus the ability to be their true selves with each other that makes them so perfectly imperfect a pair. I thought at first that Saitou is someone seen through rose tinted glasses as cute and helpless so there was no real depth to transition to lovers with Nagai. That was until he got his strongest seme title, tied Nagai up and mischievously meddled in the other couples romance. He definitely deserves his own romance, just not with Nagai. Anyway, awesome story. Plenty of laughs and loving. One to re-read many times.

Ashita mo Tanin

Complete | masao sangatsu | 2008 released

Really sweet story. The closeness between these guys was beautiful just as friends, but add in the love confessions and sexy intimate moments and they have something really beautiful.

Netsuai (NAONO Bohra)

Complete | NAONO Bohra | 2017 released

I liked both of these stories, though I found the faking love part of the first a bit of a let down and the ending too abrupt. I liked the second chance style of the second story.

Ijimekko No Okada-kun

Complete | kitazawa kyou | 2012 released

Enjoyable read where bullying and being bullied seem to work for some people.
