Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Single Father(13)

Enjoyable stories

Its hard to enjoy a story when you feel one half of one of the couples is a pedophile. Even worse when the father doesn't intervene simply because his son is happy. He didn't even have a discussion with the young man seeing his 12 year old son. There is some comfort in knowing that they intend to wait til the boy is 18 for sexual intimacy and had not gone this far even by the end of the book.. but still its just plain creepy for an adult to date a 12yo. Oka kun was someone I felt a little sorry for as he took on many burdens and I don't think his "father dearest" was someone really good for him. For me, I think the whole story was overshadowed by the pedo couple, making it hard to feel good about any of the characters.

Such talent to create these 2 beautiful guys and bring them to life with this gently unfolding story. Unlike many stories where you get 2 dimensional characters, this author gets you involved by making these more mature adults have life experiences and a past that shapes them and how they interact together. Sensei is a pediatrician with an ailing grandfather and a medical practice to inherit. The candy store owner appears laid back and unconventional, but he is not all fluff; rather he bought and owns his own store and cares for a child not biologically his. I think that was one of the nice aspects of this book, the layers to the characters and their chemistry. The other was the art. Super sexy long and lean bodies, blushes, quirks of lips hinting at a private joke, even the way they stand and walk. So much to appreciate from this talented author.

Great stories and characters that don’t need a different hair colour to be told apart. I love Naono Bohra’s stories, there is always something a little different with at least one character and the sexual chemistry is fantastic between couples.

Kawaii! So very cute and funny

The main story with the Yakuza father and his sons teacher was my favourite in this selection. There were some hints at a twisted side to the father which were interesting, but overall he was a dad who loved his son and wanted the best for him and that was adorable. My other favourite was the possessive yandere story. It was a real surprise to see the dangerous side to that guy but I loved that too. It just failed for being way, way too short The other stories had more “normal” MCs and were enjoyable reads, if not the most memorable.

Loved it all, and the cherry on top was the 20 years later ending.

I thought the story was cute with the successful single dad and his 5 year old son taking in a new ‘cat’. It was a little odd that the cousin didn’t clearly announce himself, but he was good for the little family, bringing a warmer, more ‘touchy feely’ love to Bochan (not in a pervy way, just things like a warm hug hello).

Sweet, old style stories. Note: If you expect a tough Yakuza story this isn’t what you were looking for.

These guys were absolutely adorable. Seichi Hasuki was a single dad (34yo) designer who was looking for love and someone to spoil him. Inukai is the much younger man who fell for him at their first meeting. Both men are beautiful and both come with a bit of baggage that needs to be worked on. I loved their dynamic and it was also fun to see their kinky bedroom role play and cosplay. Recommend read.
