Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Sci-fi(8)

I enjoyed this. It wasn’t fast paced or edgy, but the ties to the past and the fight for self were heartwarming. Plus, I always enjoy a story with sci-fi elements.

No physically close moments, yet this was still a good oneshot if only for the ideas of the story.

Definitely one of the better yuri manga out there, and interesting how masculine and feminine roles are still so ingrained, even without men. It’s kind of like a yaoi yuri only the sexy scenes had softer parts

Three simple little oneshots,nothing groundbreaking or awesome but a good way to pass some time.

I love Android stories and elements of sci fi. This story was sweet and focused mainly on the human attributes of Masato though the mangaka did have some fun with the extras in the extra

Story 1: Kashii Kiyoharu is called upon to befriend a man made angel kept locked up in a top secret facility. His own grandfather was one of the initial researchers responsible for creating Toki, but when Kashii met the lonely angel, he wasn’t the beautiful, spiritual being he was expecting. Instead this giant being was battle scarred and intimidating. Even worse, he was an unapologetic cannibal who consumed human flesh. I loved the concept of this story and could happily read an entire series immersed in this world with the dangerous yet protective Toki and his gentle little mate. Story 2: The Concrete Garden was a convoluted story of Tokiwo and Jiu set amidst parallel worlds and time travel. How can you love the version of your childhood friend who is destined to return to his own world without you? This was interesting and is another story idea that could benefit from more chapters exploring the worlds and characters. I didn’t like it as much as the first story but it was still a very interesting story.

Kirishima Haru has it all. Looks, smarts, charm, and a talent to master things in three hours. The downside being that when the 3 hours are done, he becomes bored of it; be it piano, game design or dating. Then he enters the virtual dating game he created and stumbles upon a plain faced NPC who is a rare character and one that is glitched. But the more time that Haru spends with Ichi the more he realizes that the one he wants to spend more time with isn’t even real. I liked the premise of the story and the characters were cute and likeable.
