Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Archery(6)

The story of Katsura and Sou was so lovely to read, they were such a beautiful couple. The secondary characters were so good I wanted to see a story for them too (Katsura's brother and best friend). I think one of the absolute best parts of this book though was the artwork. From Katsura's big eyes over the shoulder of Sou as he was held in a hug, to the form of the boys as they held their bows and released the arrows to perfect pages like when the 4 boys were on the beach looking out at the ocean. Such beautiful work made this a joy to read!

I loved this story. Tsukasa was intense and honest and so very much in love that I am glad he is the brother who ended up with Haru. I liked how he inspired Haru back to the bow as well, it was like a highlight on how he was good for the one he loves. Beautiful story and art and the cherry on top was the hakama! Those guys looked fantastic in those, drawing back their bows.

Omg, so damn hot and sexy. Love restrained for two years but not diminished, when these guys get together the only one left hot and bothered was me

For such short stories these were really cute. I liked the archery couple, their story would be even better with another few chapters. The two Yakuza stories were also enjoyable, and again there was potential for a more solid series there. The teacher and young Boss were the best there. It was cute how the much younger seme could fluster his lover.

Trigger warning: Incest (brother x brother) An erotic taboo story of twin brothers Azuma and Miyabi Sakuragi that was also seriously sweet. Younger twin Azuma adored his slightly helpless yet gifted twin Miyabi. As he grew older his love changed to include sexual attraction and he struggled to hide those feelings from Miyabi. The mangaka really makes the most of the tortured feelings of forbidden desire and what happens when an irresistible temptation was placed too close. I loved the brothers genuine lifelong affection and how sweet they were to each other. A really great story if you don’t mind the taboo elements.

Satou is a famous child actor transitioning into more adult roles, in particular one for a school play. Taking a literal approach to being a naked manservant he was rehearsing sans clothes in a quiet locker room when archery ace, Yanagawa entered. Suddenly, Satou trips into Yanagawa who is shocked to find his arms full of a soft naked body. Tightening his arms, they both savour the rightness of feeling the other in their embrace. Indeed, for this pair, that hug became something to inspire. This ridiculously adorable story follows these seeming opposites as they fall in love. Both MCs are extremely focused and dedicated to their craft, something that they see and respect in each other. Their skinship is beautiful and how they happily ‘recharge’ irrespective of an audience is both hilarious and adorable. I loved the story and the surprising depth to both guys. Their mutual innocence was sweet and understandable given how much of their lives are dedicated to their craft. Satou was so gifted I actually teared up at his opening night performance lol. Another highly recommended read.
