Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #delinquent(107)

Two cute little short stories. With 17yo high school student Aoto and the flirty 32yo Masayuki we have an age gap story that is a little combative (on Aoto’s side) tempered by Masayuki’s humour and understanding. The second story with Aoto’s friend Akira, was even sweeter (Akira was very likeable with his JoJo’s inspired hair, phenomenal fighting skills and gentle, caring nature). I wish it was longer, I wanted more of the ‘gangster’ and the ‘delinquent’.

20yo ex delinquent and runaway Shogo, is now a responsible young adult who works to support his mom and little twin sisters. He still has some rough edges, so when his mom said she wanted to get married his initial reaction was to fantasise about beating up her new man. But wait until he meets the son, his soon to be step brother Haruya, who turns out to be an obnoxious high school student in dire need of a whack upside the head. But there is more to the angry teen than meets the eye. He has a secret, one that will change Shogo’s life when he finds out. I liked the story, despite Haruya being a total dick at times. It made sense for his character to be an angry, angst ridden teen and Shogo’s mix of cheerfulness, strength and love for his family made him a good counterpart for Haruya.

A heartwarming story of an unusual group who become family. There’s still so much to discover and explore, but at the same time it was a lovely place to leave with things going so well for the shrine and a future beyond school beckoning. It had some real heartbreaking moments and again, it feels like so much more can be done, but it was so sweet that I don’t mind.

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!

JoJo’s Caesar A. Zeppeli (20yo) and Joseph Joestar (18yo) in a short delinquent yaoi. Uncensored sex scenes were great, and overall this was a good, fun read.

Some good stories and some not so good. The move to sex is fast, some are dub con and the most annoying was a continuous rape to love story.

Sequel to I Want To Be Naughty, this one had a little more angst as the airheaded delinquent, Towa fumbles with defining his relationship with the student council President. We see the mix of bullying cruelty and protectiveness of Mikado and the clueless innocence of Towa. All the original friends and Towa’s brothers are there as well as a new seductive potential uke. I liked the hints of interest between a few characters that seem to be setting up to be later explored.

Chinese delinquent story that is at times silly and fun, and other times tragic and sad. Xiang Yang is the rebellious teen known for fighting, sleeping in class, and being on the brink of being expelled. While most avoid Xiang, class president Ming Zhi finds himself drawn to him in a mix of interest and pity that soon turns to something deeper as he sets out to tame the boy with a tragic past. This story starts out cute and funny. Xiang has a puppy like side that is sweet and he can be surprisingly awkward at times. Ming Zhi is a really decent guy who you know will be so good for Xiang. There is rival though and with him comes some dark mind games.

Beautiful art, sexy characters, thoroughly enjoyable story. Rival high schools Inugashira and Saratou High were in the midst of a long standing feud. The rough and tumble delinquents of each would frequently enjoy their fights for dominance. When the seconds in command meet each other over their affection for a surly cat, it’s love at first sight for Juri, the laid back Inugashira High 2nd year. The target of his feelings is the tough and energetic Hiromi, a 2nd Year at Sarutou High. Is it an ill fated romance or can these two stand together? This one is a favourite.

Story is complete. Such an adorable story, so different to most manga you find. -Hirata Yoshio: 41yo office worker. Megane. Kind and sweet natured, happy to let Subaru push him around. Can be surprisingly dominant in bed. -Midou Subaru: 21yo dangerous yankee type. Bossy, selfish at times, loud temper when embarrassed or flustered by the old man, Yoshio. Straightforward and bluntly honest. Subaru-kun a vulnerable side that soaks up affection and any traces of his sweet nature are reserved for Yoshio. Opposites attract with this adorable pair. I loved Subaru-kun so much especially when his softer side peeked through at the mercy of Yoshio’s sweetness. A favourite ️
