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

I unknowingly read the spin off to this story first (the one about the abusive ex). It is probably just as well I did because in that one he was dealing with the memories of hitting his ex which is bad enough. But in this, the extent of the abuse was pretty extreme. From pulling hair to choking to burning with a cigarette to hitting... it was awful to read what Yumi put up with. The only redeeming feature of the ex was that his actions were abhorrent even to himself so he ended the relationship for both their sakes. Once the MCs got together in this story it was so nice to see Yumi with a protective and gentle guy.

This is one of those intense adolescent loves that can either turn out horridly toxic or beautifully special. Asa and Mitya meet at a real low point for Asa and the connection between the two is instant and consuming. Throughout their story, the one constant is their complete devotion to each other. It almost makes the reader feel uncomfortable to be invading their space but at the same time, as they strengthen and love each other, it becomes like a warm little buzz of happiness to see them overcome their demons or at least accept them. A special story, I really enjoyed it.

When Namura Tsutomu consumes high caloric foods he becomes uncontrollably erect. Kaiyama is the urologist from the human research institute who steps in to monitor and treat Namura’s fascinating condition, along with his young assistant, Masaki. Namura is resigned to the uncomfortable restrictions imposed by Kaiyama until he meets the handsome heir to his company, Shiga Haruka. Now, Namura may just get to experience his first non caloric erection at the gentle hands of Shiga. I enjoyed a lot of elements in the story, from Shiga’s acceptance of Namura to the fun inclusion of chastity belts, public sex and cock piercings. I found the story was let down by the urologist and his assistant as their purpose was ambiguous and the hints of a relationship between them went nowhere.

Completed story. This manga really gives a glimpse into just how crappy an omegas existence can be. The only alpha in his beta family, Tsuga is is one who prefers to see everyone as human and finds himself annoyed at alpha supremacy. He is also annoyed by the noisy, annoying, and over familiar Matsumae from his class. That was until he saw Matsume’s expression as he stood on a bridge, staring at the water.

Promising picture wise but really no content to speak of and the author has had the couple break up, totally revamped Pom and made the story more about Pom and his siblings.
