Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Beastmen(4)

Not complete at 3 chapters, but completely adorable.A sweet little fox and a divine snow leopard king. Size difference to match their species, a mangaka with a talent for sweet stories, this should be good.

A world where humans and beast-men co-exist. Wolf-type beastman Haine finds himself unexpectedly falling for college freshman (and human) Natsuo after their less than ideal first meeting. For Haine, the pursuit is on as he openly declares his interest. For Natsuo, it’s a new experience getting to know a carnivore beast man, but the dangerous seeming man has a cute side, the softest ears, and a wicked tongue. The more Natsuo gets to know Haine, the stronger the connection between the two.

Story is finished. Being transported to another world is a nightmare for 40yo doctor, Chikayuki Shinra. Sure, he is back in his highschool body, but he was captured by the beastmen who inhabit this world and collared as a sex slave, subject to horrific abuse. That was until he was rescued by a pair of powerful yet gentle beastmen, Gail (from Bear Clan) and Douglas (Lion Clan). Under their care, Chika began to heal in spirit as well as body. There was joy and purpose to be found by Chika in the arms of these possessive giants and their story is something to read and reread.

Completed Story Opinion: I loved it so much I bought my own copy. Main couple: 10/10 FL: 10/10 - Blondina. An atrocious name, thankfully she was mostly called Bridey in the story. Half blood princess x commoner, raised in poverty and abuse. Vulnerable yet poised. Gentle but with an inner strength. Very likeable. ML: 10/10 -Divine Beast Amon Akir. Black leopard. Very protective and possessive. Makes for an adorable kitten. Bridey’s first in his heart and soul. Story/Concept: Forgotten princess x Divine beast. I loved how we followed Bridey and Amon from being children spending time together to adults in love with each other. Their bond was strong almost to the point of being exclusive of others, but as the story progressed new friendships and strengthened family bonds came into their lives. Conflict was external, they communicated well and worked through any potential misunderstandings well. There is a clear feeling of being fated mates and little doubt that each was good for the other. Tropes: Reincarnation romance. Shoujo. Beastmen. Deities. Possessive lover. Sibling rivalry. Ending: Happy. Plenty of lovely side stories. Art: Lovely, colourful. Smut: Implied. TW's: Child abuse. Animal cruelty.
