Laughter in the Sunshine

Story & Art by Fuuki Maru • Seven Seas Entertainment • Manga • 240 Pages • $15.99
Boys’ Love Romance Slice of Life Standalone Released May 12, 2026
Open the window, let the sunshine in, and fall into a story filled with quiet love, soft healing, and one very important stray cat.
Postcard Verdict: Cozy, bittersweet, and heartfelt ♡
Dear reader,

This ended up being much more emotional than I expected in the best way possible. The romance feels quiet and natural, with a lot of the feelings shown through small actions instead of huge dramatic moments.

I especially loved watching Asahi slowly open up over time because his loneliness and hidden kindness made him incredibly easy to care about. The cozy atmosphere, awkward yearning, and little moments with Nyasuke gave the story a comforting feeling while still keeping some bittersweet emotional depth.

It felt soft, warm, and genuinely heartfelt from beginning to end.
Synopsis

After finding a stray cat, Taiyou tries to secretly keep it in his apartment only to get caught by the strict building manager, Taira Asahi. Instead of reporting him, Asahi agrees to stay quiet under one condition: Taiyou has to help him with errands around the building.

Standout Details

Cozy domestic atmosphere, soft slow burn romance, emotional healing, unrequited love, quiet acts of care, and one extremely important stray cat.
