Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #slutty uke(4)

This was okay. I don’t mind that the uke was a self confessed slut or I wouldn’t have read the manga. But I didn’t like that he was a manipulative and cruel slut who vindictively hurt “straight” guys (let’s be real here, they were bi or bi curious). If that doesn’t bother you then this is worth a read, with a very easy to read format, decent art and plenty of sexy scenes.

I have no problem with main characters with an active sexual history, but if they give in to passing temptation when they are in love I don’t find them as appealing. It starts in my mind that they can’t be trusted in times a couple argue or have problems because their hedonism will put their sexual satisfaction over their ability to be loyal to the one they love. I was happy to see he adamantly refused and fought when the next opportunity for infidelity arose (this time when the MCs were in a committed relationship). Fingers crossed!

Adorable story! Kiumi was a real man slut but he was so cute and loveable that you just don’t care. He is young, gay, cute and confident and so far in the extrovert column he practically defines it. Shizume was a tall, dark and beautiful seme who likes control. These two together must be the most unlikely duo ever, but how they got together and fall for each other was full of hot, sexy moments and beautiful art.

This was ok. Mizutani (omega) was a sex worker as part of resolving left over drama with his mother’s death. He seemed to enjoy his job and there was no rape in the story because Kusaka (alpha) was very temperate, especially for an alpha. There were a few things that I question, like why was Kusaka’s dad so against his son dating an omega when he had loved an omega and found his only peace and joy with them? Legit..baffling. And is this a world where children can prostitute themselves in a common business even missing school and nobody queries it? And what’s with the alpha being ok with getting a BJ then watching the guy he likes go fuck some old guy in the room next to him? Yeah, you know it’s love when … I didn’t like how Mizutani was being so mentally condescending about Kusaka’s gentle lovemaking. Just a gross moment to have the guy you love not as good as the random guys who pay for sex. But hey, his face is sweet. I suppose I just don’t see the omega as pure in any way, and though there are sad circumstances around his mom’s death, being a prostitute for some far fetched revenge plot based on a photo and a crap ton of assumptions hit me right in the cringe. And, tbh I found the alpha kind of weak. Good points in the story include the art, the ending was nice with giving them some time before being together, and it was good the sensei was essentially chased out of the school. I was disappointed but I can see why some may like the whole retribution theme.
