Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #hotel(3)

A cute story with 2 guys from very different walks of life. It was unexpectedly interesting to read that the Prince was the one who felt the pangs of insecurity enough to take advantage of a situation and test his lovers feelings for him. Given the power imbalance between these 2, it was good to see that both needed words of love and commitment and that they developed better communication skills in expressing their needs.

A Japanese hotel concierge and a French artist, a hotel owner and his best employee, the son of an ex Yakuza boss and the older bodyguard/butler turned lover and ‘business man’. These are the three couples in this manga and as short stories they were enjoyable. I liked the connection between the first two because they had known each other for a while before agreeing to a one night stand. Only once wasnt enough and their feelings for each other became deeper. I loved that the seme in this story put the happiness of his lover above himself. It was sweetly unselfish (a rare find in yaoi). The second story was short but the pair had history together. This was a story about accepting nothing less than a strong emotional connection and was sweet because of how the employee would accept nothing but a true bond from his boss. The final story was a sequel to ‘Shitsuji wa oose no mama ni’ and is best read after that story.

A very gentle and heartwarming story about 2 overworked men who strike up a friendship after missing the last train. Friendship becomes love between the vibrant and confident sales man Miki Yutake, and the socially introverted system engineer, Natsume Tooru.
