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

In this story we have the freshly dumped Junichi drowning his sorrows at a gay bar. There he is reunited with an old friend, Shizuru, only nothing about the younger man seems the same as the sweet, hero like boy he remembers. In fact, Shizuru starts out as someone obnoxious who sexually forces Junichi, sleeps around for money and has a chip on his shoulder about his father. Being together for both guys triggers old memories and old feelings but some honesty and open communication is needed before the vulnerable and sweet side of Shizuru can be seen again. He is lovely in the final chapters, but it’s a bit hard to reconcile that with just how big a douche he was.

The artwork in this is sublime. I loved both Arata and Junta, and their dynamic was so wholesome and healthy yet insanely sexy too. This mangaka is really gifted.

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.

A rare gem; a yaoi set in the dom/sub world! I have only found a couple, usually I have to go to novels to find the dynamic seen here. This was fantastic, I loved the MCs, the art, everything. Number 1 school delinquent Teranishi Kikuma rebels against rules and orders. He fights, absconds, and is a general wild child. That is, until he was informed of his secondary gender – an early presenting sub who needed a master. Riding the waves of disbelief, Kikuma moved into his new dorm and met his roommate, dorm leader Uryuu Takasumi. The smiling and gentle senior wasn’t threatening him, so why was every part of his body on alert?

Very cute story. Delinquent wanna be, Kaname Ando is a high school student with romanticised daydreams about being a tough, protective hero. When he runs into the tough Soma who saves him from bullies, his joy and excitement at finally meeting a real hero he can befriend turns to shock when he is drawn into a passionate kiss. The rest of the story follows the airheaded Ando as he struggles to accept that his hero is a pervert and worse, his arch enemy. The art was as cute as the characters and overall, this was an entertaining story that I enjoyed.

This was such an interesting delinquent story. Taichi attended an all boys high school that was full of rough and tumble delinquents. Oddly enough, they viewed this gentle crybaby (and pervert magnet) as their leader. Something that Taichi thought must be teasing, because there was no way he would fight. But how to explain his busted knuckles and bruised body? Turns out Taichi has an alter who takes over and destroys anyone who threatens him. When Taichi runs into the head delinquent of a rival high school, he finds not an enemy but someone who is fascinated by both sides of Taichi. Mitsuru Gunji, takes interest in Taichi and quickly chases after both alters. But what are his true motives? And can Taichi trust himself to someone who has more sides than he does? I liked the story very much. The author used D.I.D with a reasonable amount of respect without it being intrusive. We saw the terrible trauma that happened to the young Taichi that lead to the split, and the violent side retained aspects of a younger child while still always taking that protective role. I thought the dark Mitsuru was a good match for Taichi. All in all, very entertaining.

So darn good! I adored these characters, especially the sexy Yankee, Tani Reiji. New sophomore student Hajime Nakamura, had a run in with a group of delinquents on his first day at his new school. When he is saved by the cool, strong and handsome Tani Reiji, Hajime falls head over heels into hero worship. This beautifully drawn story follows the puppy like Hajime as he becomes friends with his idol and then something more. I loved his devotion and determination to protect his senpai, as well as his occasional feisty temper.

High school senior Riku Kirishima, may look like a delinquent but he is a soft romantic at heart. As the main caregiver of his little brother Aoi, Riku comes into the sphere of Aoi’s best friends’ guardian, Takashi; a man who had just the night before drunkenly offered $300 to spend the night with him. That rocky start turned into a sweet and wholesome age gap romance between Riku and Takashi. I really enjoyed this guys with kids story.

This is an old style manga that is really good. Car mechanic and ex-yankee Honda falls in love with Someya, a beautiful okama. You couldn’t get more of an “opposites attract” couple, but these guys work. Honda, for all he is into cars and fights, is a really decent guy. The sort that Someya could open up to (much to his own shocked disbelief) and rely on. The sort that would love him fiercely and someone he could trust. I really enjoyed this pairing.
