Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Animal characteristics(46)

Great story, I loved the possessive fox and his fluffy tail, as well as the extra characters that filled out the manga.

Loved it, just wish there was more!

The ending was so sudden; this story feels like it has so much more to give as the MCs seem on the brink of realising their feelings for each other. However, it ends on a sweet note filled with the promise of a future together so I won’t be too dejected here. I loved the concept, and the hints the reader has of their shared past as you wonder what would have happened if they came together then? I just want one or two more chapters and this would be an all time favourite.

So good! So very, very good! Dr Uzuki stumbles upon wounded Yakuza boss Nonami on his way home from hospital. He helps patch the gunshot wound and leaves the intimidating man, not realising that the next day would have Nonomi entrench himself at his hospital in search of the beautiful ‘woman’ who helped him. So begins the hunt. This beautiful story was full of hints of the mystical, symbolism, humour and the darkness of the crime world. The tiger tattoo on Nonomi’s back seemed to have a predators instinct that guided Nonomi. They saw Doc Uzuki as a timid rabbit to chase and eventually love and protect. Doc was a petite and fragile looking man who took some time to stop being afraid and start being intrigued by “Yakuza-san”. They were in every way opposites and their romance was challenging (even for the author apparently) but it worked and I loved every bit of the story, even the more disturbing parts were authentic for the characters.

I loved this story! Shapeshifting beast-men and a society where the herbivores were often at risk of being subjugated by carnivores was the backdrop for this story. Students Shirou (white wolf) and Kuroto (flopsy eared bunny) were the MCs who were drawn to each other despite any expected prejudice. They were both adorable, I could happily keep reading stories set in this world.

Shishidou, the seme in this story was a lion beast man. He was a player and pretty selfish but I suppose that is to be expected of a teenage boy whose beast is an apex predator. It made him harder to like for me because he hurt his friend Shiba (thoroughbred horse beastman) with his slutty ways and snide remarks. The uke Shiba was likeable. It would have been nice to see him transform and/or stand up for himself a bit more, but overall this was an enjoyable spin off, of ‘Ookami kun wa kowakunai.’

I totally loved this story. The otherworldly supernatural elements were perfect and added to the twirl of emotions this story wrought. Shounen-ai Seme: Kihachi. Ancient Bakeneko from the end of the Edo period. Tall, dark, often with feline features and able to change form. Magical being and Koudan storyteller. Loved Souta almost from the moment they met eyes for the first time. Caring and protective of Souta but keeps a little distance emotionally. Uke: Matoi Souta. Kihachis’ ‘Little Sparrow.’ Lonely, terribly overworked salaryman who is so ground down by his existence even thoughts of suicide stir no feelings. When he watches a Koudan performance he is enthralled by the story and the storyteller. Fascinated by Kihachi and his world. A gentle and sweet guy; you just want good things for him.

These two related stories were an adorable peek into the lives of some neighbourhood cats told from their view in a human/cat form. With no female cats the 2 sets of MCs fell in love with male partners, some strays, some with owners. The dynamics were sweet, the cat glaring (collection/group of cats) was made up of idiotic but lovely cats and the whole thing was fluffy (no pun intended).

This story was so cute. Akiha is a new college student possessed by a fox spirit that has been passed down in his family for generations. Yukuri is part of Akiha’s extended family who are priests. He is loved by animals and when Akiha stays with his family they all notice that Akiha’s inner fox also adores Yukuri. The story moves on from there and is as fluffily adorable as Akiha’s tail when it unexpectedly makes an appearance.

This manga has a real variety of stories in its collection. Some are awesome, especially for oneshots, with ideas you would like to see continue, kinky touches and lewd men. Read and see which ones you like. A Devil In The School: New sensei and scary son of yakuza student. Is sensei being intimidated by his student or is something different happening?
