Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Shut in(2)

Bunch of stories about the beginnings of relationships and the uncertainties that go with that. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the art, too long, skinny and pointy, and the hands reminded me of those face huggers from the Alien movies. But the stories were ok, I enjoyed the shut in the most.

A perfectly gentle slice of life. Shy and socially awkward Mutsu is a successful adult mangaka but so driven with work he neglects to look after himself. On one of his rare forays out, Mutsu bumps into his old basketball team senpai, Akiharu. Realising the gentle Akiharu was in search of a job, Mutsu eagerly offered a position as live in caretaker/housekeeper with one of the only people he feels comfortable with. The rest of the story is their evolving relationship and it’s so sweet. Akiharu is a born nurturer who is perfect for Mutsu, and Mutsu has loved him for longer than Akiharu could imagine. Sweet, fluffy but still very much a Yaoi, this has all the elements I love in a top manga.
