Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Rich seme(3)

A cute story with 2 guys from very different walks of life. It was unexpectedly interesting to read that the Prince was the one who felt the pangs of insecurity enough to take advantage of a situation and test his lovers feelings for him. Given the power imbalance between these 2, it was good to see that both needed words of love and commitment and that they developed better communication skills in expressing their needs.

Touji (rich, prince) x Kanta (poor, artist). When Kanta’s apartment gets demolished he is offered a room with the popular Touji. When he moves in, he is surprised to find that Touji is nothing like he expected. I have to agree, because the kind of trope I was expecting for this story was not what was in these pages. Instead these two guys were so adorable and kind. I loved their friendship with all the natural touches and simply enjoying being in each other’s presence. This is a recommended read if you want something loving and positive.

I read this on Manta (support the author) but will comment here. Centuries ago, Min Yu Tan accidentally named one of God’s favourites "Xue Dong Bo" thereby giving her a destiny that lay outside of heaven. As punishment, he has been living countless lives looking for Xue Dong Bo, fated to fall in love and seek hers in return. However, each reincarnation where they find each other only Min Yu Tan remembers their past, and that if one dies then so will the other. In this life, Min Yu Tan is Yudam, Director of Min Entertainment. Wealthy, attractive, successful and well liked, he is a pinnacle of perfection. Yet he is nothing before the new secretary who he instantly recognises as the reincarnation of Xue Dong Bo. Only this time, the one whose life is so fatefully entwined with his is a man. Young and beautiful, Dongbaek thinks that the new director has lost his mind when he is bluntly told that they must date. Or die. This story didn’t instantly grab me. The start seemed a little farcical and over the top, but it didn’t take long to get caught up in the story. The director’s love was something that became so genuine it grabbed at my heartstrings. The moments that he savoured like simply holding Dongbaek were really sweet. And when Dongbaek started to fall for him too, it just got better and better.
