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

Pure smut oneshot. Losing a fight to this crazy apex delinquent means getting fucked up in more ways than one. There is zero affection between these guys, some grudging respect for fighting skills and a thug uke who demands that he gets pounded, hard.

Trigger Warning: Rape Yamagi Touma loves his childhood friend Atsushi Fuyu but won’t ever share his feelings. So he becomes a delinquent and fights where the pain and violence become an outlet. However Atsushi isn’t going to idly sit by and let Yamagi escape. It’s going to take something drastic to get through to Yamagi. I can enjoy a good psychological story, and this pair were twisted and obsessed. But, I never found a good reason for their behaviour. They were warped, but without reason. It made this disappointing as did the cheating. I won’t reread this one.

Trigger warning: Dubious consent A wonderful yankee story with beautiful artwork. Kiyonaga Akane is a feisty new delinquent looking to make his name. Sadly for him, he sucks at fighting. After a bashing he is rescued by the notorious 2nd years at his high school Kidou Ryouji and Kurokawa Tarou. Akane falls into instant hero worship for Ryouji but the teasing Kurokawa really ruffles his feathers. This story then follows the reluctant object of Kurokawa’s interest as he slowly falls for the bullying wooing of the strongest delinquent.

A really great selection of short stories. Ch. 1-2, 6.5: Urahara to Jirenma- University freshman Tachibana Akeru is often misunderstood and in trouble because of his beautiful face. A prime example happens one night when he's caught in a fight with a jealous boyfriend., Nishida Kimihiko saves him and hearing that Akeru was kicked out of his room, asks if the younger man would like to live in the same apartment building as he and his two friends. Ch. 3: Yumiya no Tokushuu na Nichijou- VERY short spin-off of the title story about the bodyguards. My least favourite story. Ch. 4-5: Power of Love!- Cute looking delinquent Naohisa is dragged to classmate Uno's house after winning a fight. There he meets Uno's father, a man who catches his attention and admiration. Is he falling for the older man? I liked this story. Naohisa was a strong little dynamo and I appreciated his honesty with his friend. Ch. 6: Jouzetsuna Yubi- Scarred and deaf from a motorcycle accident, Tooru has trouble coming to terms with his new situation. One night he is scared by erotic novelist Tsukahara who tried to ask for directions, not realising Tooru was deaf. Crossing paths again, Tsukahara decides to be friendly as an apology. This story was lovely to have a MC with a disability and I liked the slightly predatory seme.

A delinquent yaoi that focuses substantially on the fighting and battle for dominance. Chiaki is a loan shark who is like a smiling assassin, always friendly while being ready to use brute force. He helps his old university friend to capture Kikuka, the tiny yet lethal leader of the school delinquents who is in dire need of some remedial classes and Chiaki is just the man to drag him there. The dynamic between Kikuka and Chiaki is true to their characters. There is no softness in their relationship and yet it’s undeniably romantic amidst the blood, broken bones and bruises. Very entertaining, great art.

A cute bunch of stories in school settings. The girls are no pushovers and all the stories were worth a read. Early work for this mangaka, I like how she tends to create strong female leads and the tomboy type.
