If you like omegaverse BL mangas but are tired of the stereotypical helpless omegas and overly possessive rapey alphas, you'll probably like this manga. While still containing a lot of the tropes often depicted in omegaverse, and particularly the BL take of it (such as alphas being "high class" while omegas are looked down upon, alphas preying down on omegas, sudden heats at the worst moment, etc), it's a fresh take on it and it's a more fun read than many omegaverse BL that lean more on the ansgty side. While many other omegaverse BL (at least the ones I've read) focus more on the ... omega's feelings, I like that this one also focus a lot of the alpha and his feelings regarding the whole crazy pheromones thing.

Both main characters are likeable and have good chemistry, their dynamics are really fun with plenty of cute moments. If you like caring tops and/or buff and assertive bottoms in your BL, you'll like this one. Tsugumi is way more proactive and sure of himself than most omega characters tend to be, which is really refreshing, and his dumbness is quite entertaining, and Megumi is such a great kid that tries to do his best and be responsible, I like him a lot. Tsugumi's parents are also a great couple and really adorable.

The art is overall quite nice and the sex scenes are pretty spicy (and there're plenty of them). In general it's all consensual, tho there's one scene in which they both get overtaken by their hormones and get carried away.

Overall, if you want to read an omegaverse BL that's spicy and fun and doesn't get too angtsy, go for it!

This was… an odd one. It’s an ongoing series, so I can only talk about the first two volumes. And the reason why it is odd, in my opinion, is not because it is set in a world where people are alpha, beta or omega, but for the way the manga deals with some tropes.

Megumi is an alpha, quite a popular one from a school for all alphas. One day two of his friends ask him to help them deal with a guy who had beaten them up. The guy is Tsugumi, an omega quite ready to use violence when needed and also hating most ... of the alphas he meets.

Their relationship starts a bit rocky, with Megumi finding out that the reason why Tsugumi beat him his friends was because they were harassing a girl. Also, Tsugumi refuses to take heat suppressants, leading Megumi to plead him to use some (and he gives Tsugumi his own suppressants).

The whole premise of the manga is that Tsugumi has internalized some of the anti-omega prejudice, and uses anger, violence and sheer will to manage his heats, refusing to take suppressants. He also despises all alphas.

On the other side, there is Megumi who is an alpha, but he hates the idea of being controlled by his own instincts and is scared to end up like his father.

The manga seems to start in a great direction, in my opinion, dealing with the issue of consent and showing how important that is for Megumi. Then it sort of ends up on a rocky path, then it slowly comes back. I won't go more in detail because of spoilers, but I wasn't fully satisfied with the resolution of some issues.

Still, the manga is supposed to be more on the light and funny side than angst, so I suppose that has to be expected.

It's an omega story w/ the typical omega bl.
1. explicit sex w/ graphic scenes
2. possible chances of pregnancy or talk of it
3. bl conflict - always a third party challenge on both ends
4. always, always - possible sexual violence.

What makes this one interesting?
Tsugumi! He's a sensitive boy who has no clue on his own sexuality & in a way repressed it in order to protect himself. He also has no idea of romantic feelings so even at 15 he's still thinking like "cooties". So he's in the process of learning about love at kindergarten level while he's becoming a professional when ... it comes to sex. The duality is interesting. The person teaching him all this is Megumi & he's having a hell of a time since he's having his own issues. He's seeing the love & care of Megumi's home & what he wishes he'd had.

When you start reading you start to see that Megumi is really what Tsugumi should have turned out in the home he was raised. While Tsugumi should be like Megumi based on the home life he had.

It's an entertaining read - I read up to Volume 4 x Chapter 2. I don't know if it will be continued to be subbed.
