Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #PTSD(3)

A spirit seme and an uke traumatised by a terrible past seem destined to meet in this supernatural yaoi. I liked how the seme kept the uke grounded in the present when he had moments of PTSD.

I enjoyed the story, it covered a lot of ground in 5 chapters with the murder mystery and the budding romance between the job focused (for sure somewhere on the autism spectrum) and blunt spoken Tsutsumi and the PTSD suffering, masochistic Sakuma. The artwork was beautiful too. Both Tsutsumi and Sakuma really looked like detectives in their suits and I liked the haggard look of Sakuma when he was struggling.

Completed story This may have been 10 chapters but 2 were a repeat and they were all quite short so this was a quick read. It was a little too fast paced, and Sudo’s trauma was not really dark or weird enough to have triggered such a severe reaction to food. I really enjoyed the yandere elements but would have appreciated seeing that drawn out a little more to really give that element a chance to shine. It made for a good twist though. Overall, entertaining but not great.
