Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #heartwarming(7)

I loved the story and the way these 2 childhood friends kept loving each other, even when apart for those years. There were sweet moments of yearning before they became lovers where one would reach for the other but not quite follow through, or tremble in restraint from kissing a scar while the other slept that tugged at my heart. Then after they became lovers they could finally wake together and gently stroke the others face. Those gentle love connections were beautiful and elevated this story for me.

This story featuring Itsuki and Yuno was full of fluffy sweetness. Painfully shy Itsuki met his radio idol at a bookstore and his sweet earnest admiration caught Yuno’s attention. Their love for each other was fast but it would take some time for everything to fall into place. Lovely art, this tale of opposites attract is well worth a read.

There is a reason why this manhua rates so highly and that is simply because it’s beautiful. The love and friendship between the characters, not just the main couple but their friends and family, was so real and genuine that I didn’t want to leave their world. The power of loving and supporting those close to you regardless of their sexuality was dealt with so respectfully I was often moved to tears. In fact, I got a bit teary a few times in the loving moments of connection and support. My heartfelt thanks to the author. This is a manhua I will buy to read many times in the future.

This was a very romantic story about forbidden love when duty and expectations are swept away in the face of love. I liked the characters very much, especially the FL Gabriella who was honest and cheerful.

This was a very sweet story that actually had a lot of the male character’s (Demetri) inner monologue shared which was a nice change. The father was a sweet old gentleman trying to do well by his children and Joanna was a likeable FL who was due some good luck in relationships.

Always a firm favourite in the series when Anne and Gilbert finally come together as a couple. The simple yet sweet dreams of a home and hearth and a loved one to share it with.

It’s been such an age since I first read this and now there are so many new volumes of this wonderful pair. The author has created such a bond between Narasaki and Terashima that sometimes I feel like I am being intrusive by reading. Full of feeling, this manga is rich with teen intensity and conflicted emotions as the boys learn to communicate effectively and understand each other. Blue Sky Complex ticks all the boxes for falling in love and then making it work. One of my favourites!
