Alright, I made a review for this years ago but it was time for a updated one! In general, I loved this manga for YEARS, and it's half due to it being one of the only omegaverse I'd read at the time with healthy communication, but it's definitely got a lot of flaws.
BIGGEST gripe is that we start off with one of them being in HS while the other is an adult who works in said HS, when I was younger I looked past it but it's a major issue. He eventually is out of hs, but they get together whilst he's in hs, the adult jerks off to said highschooler and honestly it easily could have been a guy in college. At this point, its just framing itself as pedophilic.
Second major flag is that their second child was conceived in what could be framed as SA. I had not read the first extra in a long time but going back, it became clear that the seme slightly forces the uke to have sex without a condom on because he wants a child. And honestly, I can't even look past it because of the entire arc of the uke. The uke was raped in high school and was forced to get pregnant and has trauma around the SA that lead up to him having his first child, so I'm not really sure how the author didn't catch that it might be a bad look to have the seme turn around and basically due the same thing, just less blatantly.
Yes, in the end, they both wanted kids but when your partner is saying "we shouldn't" and "we need a condom" that's a no. And not listening to that because you want kids is noncon.
I ended up loving the progression of this manga, and it sustained my interest up until this year when I reread it and started to notice these issues and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't fully see myself enjoying the whole story how I had years ago with these things in mind. That's just my outlook. So this is probably where I'll have to drop it :c
