Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #brother x brother(17)

A darker story and its not just the manipulation and incest, its the emotional toll of the younger twins imitation once his brother realizes. Despite the ending, I can't help but think the older twin would be happier with someone else.

A truly sweet story of two brothers and an innocent kiss that sparks a shift in perception.

Different. More obsession than love, there was not much evidence of caring in these stories.

Twisted, but those two are perfect for each other.

I really enjoyed the stories of this group of friends. I also loved the mangaka’s artistic talent and how each pair from the stories were varied in face, hair and build.

Non identical twin brothers who are different in most ways but who have always cared for each other. Yuji is the younger twin who confidently excels in life, acing classes, dating girls and popular. Kazuma struggles more but has always been proud of his twin. He tries to step back, feeling he holds Yuji back, but no matter where Kazuma goes, Yuji will follow. When these two make the step towards being sex partners it’s not with full honesty by Kazuma about his love for Yuji, and he calls out others names. But Yuji knows his brother too well. He has always known that for Kazuma there is only Yuji, and the night Kazuma calls to Yuji in bed their lovemaking is more intense than its ever been. I wished for them to be honest with each other because Yuji’s reaction to his name and his obvious love for his brother really seem to match Kazuma’s dedication to him. A few more chapters on this oneshot would move this pair where they need to be; they are already confessing to the other when they sleep.

Caution: Last chapter is shota with a different couple. Main story: A no holds barred smutty story about successful, perfectionist older brother Takumi and his rebellious younger brother Yuuya. Recently patronising a hole in the wall sex shop, Yuuya notices a distinguishing mole on the faceless man he is fucking that looks remarkably like that of his onii-chan. Determined to blackmail his sibling, Yuuya has the misfortune to realise that his brother is not going to overreact. Instead the two brothers realise that they have more in common than they ever dreamed. Lots of kink (eg pet play references, stepping, S & M elements, public sex) but there is some genuine love that grows between the brothers. The brothers aren’t the most likeable (at least for me) but this story is really about the smut.

Content Warning: Incest themes (brother x brother) The only story that I really liked in this was Admonition From An Elder Brother (chapters 1 & 6). In this story, Tsuzuki (22yo) was a womanising delinquent thug who provided protection for his friends prostitutes. He hadn’t seen his older brother Hajime (now 34yo) in over 10 years when they suddenly crossed paths. Hajime wants to put Tsuzuki back on the straight and narrow path, but the younger sibling is resistant at first. Events arise that force some cooperation from Tsuzuki and the brothers relationship gets surprisingly close. I enjoyed the loyalty and devotion that was reestablished between siblings, and that it was between guys who were tough in every aspect of their lives, except for the hint of vulnerability with family.

Trigger warning: Incest (brother x brother) Hideyomi (Omi, 18yo) and Hideyuki (Nini, 16yo) Togame are brothers who live in their own quiet world sans parents. The older Omi had suffered an accident that left him comatose for months and then a changed person with some retrograde amnesia and a more childlike mind. The relationship between the siblings was both complex and very simple. Their closeness was forbidden but their love and dedication towards each other was really sweet. Add in a good friend for Yuki and a cousin who was his doctor and you have the main characters for this lovely yet often melancholy story. I really enjoyed it.

It was love at first sight for Tatsuya (26yo) when he saw Haru playing piano at the bar where he worked. Not willing to let the younger man slip through his fingers he instantly pursued Haru and the two started an intense relationship that would be full of surprises. I loved the twists and turns in the story that came with each new revelation. Pretty art too, especially for an older story.
