Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Idol(5)

Awesome art with a great story, I totally loved this manga. The MCs getting all sexy together was enough to make you blush, if only we got to have them go all the way together this would have been perfect.

Dance star Takato and the new member of the studio, Taiyo are the MCs of this lovely story. Taiyo had wanted to dance from the first moment his eyes connected with those of Takato up on stage. When his family move to Tokyo he gets to train with the man he has idolised for years, and when he inadvertently led Takato to thinking he loved him, he finds himself swept along in a new direction. I found these guys really loveable. They are dedicated and hard working with a love of their career that is reflected in their personalities. Truly a recommended read.

A great Omegaverse story that had some lovely messages that fit the plot and didn’t sound contrived. Like not being limited by your gender and being your authentic self. Which, given that idol Mitsuo was an omega passing himself off as a beta in the public eye, resonated well with his character as he fell for his new partner, alpha Seto, and was publicly outed. The romance between the younger kouhei Seto and Mitsuo was sexy and sweet. Uncensored and pretty artwork and likeable MCs, this was a winner.

A spin off from Ijiwaru Shinai de Dakishimete and Mr Arihara’s Secret, this collection of short stories is full of familiar faces. I really enjoyed the stories about desensitising to touch (related to past trauma) and trusting enough to be loved (main story) and the idol (Hiro from anDe) x guitarist. The seme x seme wasn’t my favourite but it was still nice to see that couple progress their relationship.

Reincarnated Takao, once a knight pledged to protect his Prince, Finley, had died burdened by his failure in his role of sworn knight when Prince Finley was assassinated. Over the following centuries he had reincarnated and crossed paths with the Prince, and now in modern day Japan once again their paths cross. This sweet story tells of their bond that defies boundaries of death and the chance they have to be something more this time. After going through several lifetimes, Takao, a former knight, is currently living as an office worker in modern Japan. After discovering Hikaru, who is the reincarnation of the prince he served and was unable to protect until the end in their past lives, he swore to protect Hikaru in this life by being a hardcore fan. For the sake of protecting Hikaru from a closer position, Takao decided to become his manager. But after Hikaru, who has an aloof personality this time compared to their past lives, showed him a smile directed only to him, Takao starts to feel another type of feeling budding within him!
