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

Cute, short story with dubious consent but a shared history and close feelings were already present between the two.

Worth a read. I didn’t really click with the characters but the story still had cute moments.

This was okay. I don’t mind that the uke was a self confessed slut or I wouldn’t have read the manga. But I didn’t like that he was a manipulative and cruel slut who vindictively hurt “straight” guys (let’s be real here, they were bi or bi curious). If that doesn’t bother you then this is worth a read, with a very easy to read format, decent art and plenty of sexy scenes.

I enjoyed the story but I would have liked to thump the younger brother for being such a jerk

Awesome art with a great story, I totally loved this manga. The MCs getting all sexy together was enough to make you blush, if only we got to have them go all the way together this would have been perfect.

All these stories fall short of being great, though the first one had the sweetest, most complete ending and was the best. I loved Anji and sensei but it was seriously let down by the ending. Anji’s character had so much potential to explore his loneliness and edge of danger but it ended well short of the 2 being a couple. You can see they are moving towards mutually strong feelings but the mangaka just let all that potential go to waste. Such a shame. The last short was a super quick oneshot with sex between a yakuza and host. It was more a teaser than anything worth reading. The host went from having sex with some random girl from his club to the yakuza guy. Tacky

A hot and fun bunch of short stories. I especially loved the ones with MCs who were a little on the crazy side and the story with the feral boy. This mangaka’s art is always a huge plus too, and the stories have plenty of lol moments.

Two stories in this manga. 1. The Target In The School Infirmary: Delinquent student Toudou is in pursuit of the school infirmary nurse Miura as part of a bet. However, his sensei turns the tables on him and leaves the teen confused, angry and overwhelmed by his feelings. I liked the cautious sensei because he wasn’t some predator at school chasing kids. I loved Toudou, he was adorably clueless yet assertive. A mix of take charge, manipulative and totally helpless, Toudou was surprised to find himself very much in love with Miura. The two together worked for me. There was something sweet about sensei”s love of Toudou’s airhead side. 2. Roommates: College dorm roommates Miwa and Katou are about to graduate from college and begin their working lives. Katou has his new job lined up and wants to move in with his roommate Miwa to a shared apartment. However Miwa refuses because he loves his straight and kind roomie but Katou only sees him as a good friend. Knowing his feelings can’t be reciprocated, the last thing Miwa wants is to live a moment longer with his tempting friend and says this very clearly. And then Miwa accidentally confesses...

These sisters both have such a sweet love story, this is totally worth a read.

Another great story from this mangaka, this time focusing on two older salarymen. Recently divorced Director Inoue and the ‘raging homo’ and ‘sex addict’ Section Chief Kitahara come together to address the anonymously delivered accusations against Kitahara. In this story, I enjoyed most how Kitahara tended to have the tables turned on him when he tried to manipulate Inoue. I also thought it was sweet, just how long he had yearned for the older man. I was less enthused about the dub con scene at the office with the other guys, but even there Inoue managed to wrest control and deal with the way his hurt partner was lashing out by bringing it back to being about the two of them. As for the scene where Inoue said he would save his lover over his daughter, I wasn’t bothered by that. I saw that as a moment Kitahara needed to believe he mattered and was a priority to the guy he had loved for years. It called for a romantic reassurance not a discussion on why his daughter needed saving first or he would need to think about it. Personally, I thought it was sweet and it managed to discompose Kitahara too, so bonus lol.
