Manga 'Tadaima, Okaeri' Gets Anime Adaptation

i always distasteful of those GL/BL series. it's soo blatantly fetishizing homosexuality, it's not even funny. it's also soo clearly aimed to straight people who somehow get excited seeing gay people intimacy, that it's soo idealized, it's hardly even resemble gay people reality in the slightest. it's romanticize people that already discriminated, and somehow get a pass on it.

TBH i didn't care if those kind of series is popular, since there are more straight people than gay people, it's inevitable. BUT i have issue with people thinking those kind of series as pinnacle representation of LGBT in fiction and attacking anyone dislike it as homophobia.

When will we get adaptation of Tagame Gengoroh works for example? or My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness? i guess i have to keep waiting. thankfully even it's rarely if ever the mainstream one, this type of series STILL keep being made. for example recently to strip the flesh and boys run the riot is pretty good. there is also stuff like I Think Our Son Is Gay which i also like.

Read a few chapters to see what the big deal was, an exaggerated cuteness overloaded toddler which already feels excessive and is the main driving force of this work (at least early on), followed by sexual tension/intimacy at the end, rinse and repeat. lol, dropped, pretty boring.

@Chocovainilla, yes, it would be great if they explain the mechanics of Omegaverse in details at the beginning of the anime.

@Yubisoft, you are right. They like BL works and angry to those who don't. Not all, of course, many of them would like to learn new things about BL, I understand.

I always wanted to read the manga the art style is my cup of tea and it very popular so it has to have something good going for it.
cant w8 for the anime

@Absurdo_N, thanks, honestly, it is from Wikipedia.

A BL adaptataion that even the fujos aren't excited about? Ara ara ara.

Didnt expect an omegaverse manga to be adapted, weird descicion to adapt, the subgenre its still very unknown to most of the people. Not for me tho, i have read some fanfictions (GL-BL and heterosexual) with this subgenre .

I just hope they add at the beginning of the episodes an explanation of how that alternate universe works, because even between omegaverse series, theres isnt a super fixed plot or characteristics, every author can add and change things, or at least they do in fanfictions.

Cuntboy is a trans man who still has a vagina, omega is a secondary gender of man in the omegaverse so it is different from cuntboy.

Futa x cuntboy is cool, there's also alpha female futa x male omega.

The term u all lookin' for is "Cuntboy" *sips tea*

Futa x Cuntboy tag seems a bit more niche

I like BL and believe there is way too few BL anime adaptations, especially actual TV shows and not just rushed movies. So I'm even looking forward to stuff like Tasogare Out Focus, which raises many red flags.

But Omegaverse? I never expected the somehow uglier version of the awful "girl with a dick" trope to get an adaptation. I hope this is will be the first and last of it's kind!


But at least reading this thread is pretty fun. The one good thing about "these kinds of works" are the hillarious reactions and discussions!

@Memore

Your explanation is very good, congratulations, you mentioned several important details that I forgot and that I didn't know (I hadn't heard of the enigma yet).

@WaffleMaster89, yes, you are right.

The Omegaverse has abstract premises for which it could be considered a fantasy genre according to the conventions established by Todorov, but the high specification of its characteristic elements suggests that it could also be considered a literary genre in itself. Its main peculiarity is that characters have two sexes: a main one (male or female), decided by their external sexual organs, and a secondary one, that manifests during puberty, determined by their internal reproductive system. It's usually chosen from one of the following, each of which also corresponds to some distinctive character traits

Alpha (α): socially (and in some interpretations, even biologically) dominant, physically built, short-tempered and a natural leader;
Beta (β): depending on the story, they are regular human beings, or have a mix of Alpha and Omega traits, or their own unique traits;
Omega (Ω): submissive and gentle, calm and a peacemaker.

Omegaverse fiction typically focuses on wolf or other canid-like behavior in humans, especially as it pertains to sexual intercourse and sexuality, which is described as instinctual, responding to animalistic physiological stimuli. This includes rutting and heat cycles, pheromonal attraction between Alphas and Omegas, penises with knots (used to "knot", or tie, the partner to an Alpha during copulation, an action known as "knotting"), scent marking, imprinting, breeding, mating rites, pack structures] and potentially permanent psychic bonds with a mate. Between Alphas and Betas, only females can carry on a pregnancy, but male Omegas are often envisaged as being able to become pregnant via a uterus connected to the rectum, and Alphas can impregnate regardless of their main gender. To make penetration and impregnation easier, male Omegas often have self-lubricating anuses.

Since Omegaverse is a type of folksonomy, some of its aspects are included or excluded at the discretion of the story author. Sometimes Betas are absent, or other intermediate designations such as Deltas and Gammas are added. The genre often features other fantasy elements, such as the presence of werewolves or other fantastical creatures. Some works introduce a rigid caste system, where Alphas are depicted as the upper class elites while Omegas are at the bottom tier and face discrimination and oppression because of their physiology, creating an example of biological determinism. In darker stories, this results in non-consensual or dubiously consensual intercourses, forced pregnancies, Omegas kidnapping and sexual slavery.

Omegaverse works are most frequently focused on male-male couples composed of an Alpha and an Omega, though heterosexual Omegaverse works have been produced, and by 2013, about 10% were labeled male/female. Some subvert the genre tropes, telling stories about illicit relationships between Alphas, Omegas who hide their smell using chemical pheromones so that they are not a victim of biological prejudices, or dominant Omegas and submissive Alphas. Non-traditional couples are often featured in Japanese Omegaverse works.

While the terms "A/B/O" and "Omegaverse" can be used interchangeably, the first one often refers only to the sexual dynamics, while the second one is preferred when the story is set in a new ideological world. Some prefer to avoid use of the term "A/B/O" as its spelling resembles a racial slur towards Aboriginal Australians.

In 2012, the notion of "fated mates" was introduced. In 2014 Omegaverse gained strong traction in Japan, acquiring market value with the publication of the first A/B/O manga in 2015. In 2016 the discrimination and power dynamics between Alphas, Betas and Omegas began to be outlined, and the idea of the mark or bite that chemically and biologically links couples together was created, while in 2018 the concept of the "inner wolf", an animal instinct guiding Alphas and Omegas, arose. Through her work Kanraku Alpha Enigma, manga artist Shinshi Nakai subsequently tried to add the "Enigma", a new type of character who can mutate their secondary gender, but the novelty was resisted by Omegaverse fans and had no impact or continuity.

@ZXEAN, you are welcome.

Can someone explain to me what an omegaverse is? I know it has to do with alpha's and omega's in a social hierarchy and apparently there is like pheromones' or something weird like that in it. Also I thought the omegaverse was strictly all males but according to some of the users above there is all females and both male and female populated omegaverse's out there which confusing me even more because I never heard of an omegaverse in the context that females existed in them. I thought it was suppose to be a BL fantasy world? Unless everyone is still gay for some reason even if both males and females exist. Every time I do research into omegaverse's I swear I lose so many braincells trying to figure it out.

@Memore Lol ok. This shit is cringe asf but funny as well.

@RobertBobert

I get it, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I didn't mean masculine lesbians. I was referring to BL works that overuse androgynous male designs. About 5 or 10 years ago, there was a seinen show with a similar idea to My Happy Marriage, and the author of the original manga was known for the fact that her male characters were often indistinguishable from androgynous girls. Because of this, her BL was even jokingly called male yuri.

@Nutella71 I mean shows like Free and Tsurune, which are more focused on shipping and pairings than any actual romance. I remember one reverse harem show even parodied this when the main character's friend explained that you don't need gays for BL, just "two guys with good chemistry."

@Absurdo_N, you are right!
