Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #mind reading(2)

Kaichi has the ability to read minds. His senpai from school and best friend has always known and been accepting of this and he remains his closest friend. But then some major changes disturb that comfortable status quo. Senpai breaks up with his girlfriend and turns to Kaichi for comfort. And Kaichi’s traumatised young cousin comes to stay and his mind is closed to Kaichi. The rest of the story basically twirls around the choice between these 2 men for Kaichi. I liked the outcome, however I think the mangaka made both senpai and cousin appealing so I may have been happy with either choice.

Miura: College student and loner, Miura may wear a public smile but his ability to read minds has left him distrustful of people. Being able to hear their true feelings vs what they say has caused him problems in the past, but when he meets the quiet Abe, he is surprised at his honesty. Abe: Quiet college student. When Abe first saw the slender Miura he was instantly attracted. So when they both joined a reading circle Abe was thrilled to be able to meet his senpai and his thoughts as the two spent time together were sweetly honest and full of the stirrings of interest. The relationship that developed between these gentle guys was the type to tug at the heartstrings. They communicated well and were accepting of each other. I also really loved Abe’s surprising protective nature and how he encouraged Miura that it’s ok to be a little selfish at times.
