Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #sexy(165)

Dorm mates at school, Manabu and Gabriel initially have little in common. Manabu is popular with a secret love of muscular men. When his delicate roommate passes out in the shower he learns that apparently he also likes prickly tempered English born guys with porcelain skin and pink nipples. The story has loads of dubious consent and is heavy on the smut, but it’s also cute with some sexy moments, somnophilia, and the sweetness of falling in love.

These guys were absolutely adorable. Seichi Hasuki was a single dad (34yo) designer who was looking for love and someone to spoil him. Inukai is the much younger man who fell for him at their first meeting. Both men are beautiful and both come with a bit of baggage that needs to be worked on. I loved their dynamic and it was also fun to see their kinky bedroom role play and cosplay. Recommend read.

Trigger Warning: Incest (Brother x Brother) Multiple stories that were all enjoyable for different reasons. The main story had the best character development and it was sweet how some of the loneliness of being a neglected child of a narcissistic mother was addressed with a caring partner. The second story had some unexpected twists that caught me by surprise and I found the whole inability to get an erection was interesting especially given the feelings between the MCs. There was something sweet about the yearning to catch Yoshida’s shadow. The third story of the two brothers was just too short to do justice to such a subject, but it was still a good read. Wtf was up with that cat though? It was like the reincarnated form of some manly old pervert. The last story was a sequel and was great for the switching roles. Be sure to read the main story first.

Time travel body swap has Sakurako falling under the knowing touch of the sexually dominant Souma. He plays her body like a virtuoso on a violin and the innocent Sakurako is powerless to resist the hedonistic pleasure he brings. Pretty soon Sakurako falls for her lover but can she stay in this time in another woman’s body? Lots of sexy smut with some light bondage and punishment play, public sex, dubious consent and imaginative role play. Entertaining read.

I loved Asuka (22yo) and Yui (17yo) and their complicated relationship. The last 5 years have been quiet between these step brothers following a night of embarrassing sexual moments. But now the brothers are in a situation that has them confronting their feelings for each other and falling irrevocably in love with each other. The more serious and silent Yui is the brother with the more intense and long lived feelings of love. But both brothers end up being truly devoted and self sacrificing in this sexy and romantic story.

A great little oneshot of a nephew x uncle vampire romance. Definitely one to reread

A really great selection of short stories. Ch. 1-2, 6.5: Urahara to Jirenma- University freshman Tachibana Akeru is often misunderstood and in trouble because of his beautiful face. A prime example happens one night when he's caught in a fight with a jealous boyfriend., Nishida Kimihiko saves him and hearing that Akeru was kicked out of his room, asks if the younger man would like to live in the same apartment building as he and his two friends. Ch. 3: Yumiya no Tokushuu na Nichijou- VERY short spin-off of the title story about the bodyguards. My least favourite story. Ch. 4-5: Power of Love!- Cute looking delinquent Naohisa is dragged to classmate Uno's house after winning a fight. There he meets Uno's father, a man who catches his attention and admiration. Is he falling for the older man? I liked this story. Naohisa was a strong little dynamo and I appreciated his honesty with his friend. Ch. 6: Jouzetsuna Yubi- Scarred and deaf from a motorcycle accident, Tooru has trouble coming to terms with his new situation. One night he is scared by erotic novelist Tsukahara who tried to ask for directions, not realising Tooru was deaf. Crossing paths again, Tsukahara decides to be friendly as an apology. This story was lovely to have a MC with a disability and I liked the slightly predatory seme.

This story was really wonderful. Rinosuke was 16 and about to quit school after the death of his wastrel of a father. That was until his naked wife from the future tumbled into his life. Now, Rinosuke has to adjust to being loved by a warm hearted woman, all while his life changes from its expected path into beautiful chaos. Marina was so genuinely caring and sweet, she made the best FL simply with her honesty in her feelings. I liked the ending, things all started to click in place and make sense. Very much a recommended read.

The new dessert chef at the privately managed Italian restaurant "Molte Stelle" is a tall Italian man of few words, Gino. The inscrutable Gino is supervised by head chef, Keito who falls instantly in love. With his desserts that is. This beautifully drawn story follows the relationship of Keito and Gino, dealing gently around some cultural differences and an unexpected romance. I enjoyed the intensity between the MCs, the way food was such a means of connecting and how Gino respected Keito’s demands.

New teachers Mr. Murakami (maths) and Mr. Sasakawa (history) have started their jobs at the same high school. The outgoing and friendly Mr. Murakami is instantly attracted to the beautiful Mr. Sasakawa. After celebrating with their fellow teachers with some after school drinks Mr. Murakami is unable to resist the temptation of an unguarded and tipsy Mr. Sasakawa. So begins their bumpy ride to love. I loved both MCs, especially the gentle ruthlessness of Mr. Murakami and how frustrated he could become over Mr. Sasakawa’s cuteness. Another really lovely story by this talented mangaka.
