Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Band(2)

Some disturbing scenes are in this story, but they are in the typical Harada style of life not always being light and full of decent, non twisted people. As horrible as it was, the retribution scene seemed to trigger a reset for the self centred seme. There was definitely a feeling that something had to give (and I know this mangaka isn’t one to shy from confronting scenes), but that still left me feeling sorry for an otherwise rather unlikeable man.

Taketora and Shiota were irresistible. I love a character that has a scary face and tough appearance but is a kind person. I also loved how the kawaii Shiota wasn’t a pushover and could hold his own when needed and how he found Taketora to be totally his type. I could happily read more chapters on this pair. I also loved the bass player and singer from the band story. Similarly, a guy with a bit of a tough and edgy demeanour falling for a cute innocent looking type, only this time each had a personality that matched their exteriors. I loved Ume’s possessive side, especially when anyone got too close to Shiro and I loved Shiro’s energetic happiness and ‘shine’ moments.
