Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #One of the best!(2)

The story of Katsura and Sou was so lovely to read, they were such a beautiful couple. The secondary characters were so good I wanted to see a story for them too (Katsura's brother and best friend). I think one of the absolute best parts of this book though was the artwork. From Katsura's big eyes over the shoulder of Sou as he was held in a hug, to the form of the boys as they held their bows and released the arrows to perfect pages like when the 4 boys were on the beach looking out at the ocean. Such beautiful work made this a joy to read!

This is the manga that started my love of BL stories. Sato and Yoshio are seemingly such an odd pairing but as a couple they are so sweet and their love is deeply based and really endearing. The series follows them from their first year of high school as they start dating and dealing with the problems of going out with the most wanted guy in high school. Sato has such a sadistic side but Yoshio brings out his inner softness and humour, and it’s pure comedy between the two of them as Sato’s cruel streak is indulged by Yoshio’s tears or overcome by his moments of heartfelt honesty. Highly recommended story.
