Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Cousin x cousin(3)

Trigger warning: Dub con, DP, cousins What an obscenely perverted manga! I blush just remembering it. Those brothers were twisted, but so, it seems, was their Harami Bara and he owned them like a badass boss. The brothers faces were often cruel but there was no denying that group seemed to be made for each other. It was over the top, but it was also impossible to put down this kinky and crazy piece of work. Note: The translator kept adding annoying comments. I recommend trying to ignore the T/Ns.

The adorably sweet florist Haruzake Nao has been a magnet for perverts since he was a child. His cousin Monjirou, Vice President of the Tadano Group has always been his hero protector, keeping a close eye on the trusting little florist and rescuing him from trouble countless times. Mon-chan is an intensely protective character but he doesn’t restrict Nao. I love how he finds comfort in Nao’s company, relaxing from the high pressure job where he has the reputation of being an ice man. Each of these MCs are good for the other. Them falling in love seems perfectly natural given their history. Such a lovely story; being cousins seems to be a real non issue when the feelings are this deep.

Read after Kono Ore Ga Omae Nanka Suki Na Wakenai: spin-off Such a good story from Ogawa Chise. High school student Kyuta's second cousin is Etsuro, a calligraphy teacher and womanizer who for some reason sexually harasses him as well. When Etsuro has an injury, Kyuta stays at his home to help care for him as he recuperates. Their relationship slowly advances with the prickly Kyuta and teasing Etsuro negotiating old emotional hurts and future expectations. It’s a real age gap story, Etsuro is old enough to be Kyuta’s father, but it’s never something awkward because their relationship is already solid, and Etsuro has a vulnerability that is sweet whilst Kyuta is no pushover. I love this mangaka’s art and I loved this story.
