I immediately disliked this story but in the comments, a lot of people who were voicing negative opinions after early chapters were advised to keep on reading and assured it gets better so I decided to give it a chance. After all, I've read many stories that start on a really bad note but then improve. This is certainly not this kind of story. So if you don't like it, just don't bother reading. Nothing changes. Seme continues being an entitled arsehole right until the final page and everything goes his way because he's rich and powerful and he's the seme of the story, and uke eventually forgives him everything easily and accepts him because he is an uke. If it's your thing, help yourself, but if it isn't, stop immediately and don't believe people promising it gets better.
In what way did him using his title make the uke like him? Please tell me. The only thing he could do was let the manager not let the uke go to work because of money. The seme also gave the uke money but did he agree? No. So don't come with that, "He accepts him because he is a uke." In a straight relationship a girl has to be a bottom, uke means bottom, you're basically saying females would go along with anything because they're a woman.
No, I'm saying this story uses that logic and that's exactly why I don't like it.
Also, I never said anything about seme using his title, I said he was entitled, which means he believed he deserves everything he wants.
Smh I'm on Ch 11 and wondering if I should keep going.
Only you can tell what's your thing and what's a no-no. I'm just saying that seme until the very end believes he played fair all the time and for me that's a massive trigger.
You said he got his way because he's "rich and powerful"
That pretty much says he got his way because he used his title
If you want to stop reading you can but don't comment something hateful afterwards
Well, whatever word we chose for it, that's what it was. Seme was constantly taking advantage of the fact that uke had no power to reject him. He used the fact that he was a dominant alpha to threaten every single customer, knowing that uke will have to take care of him to avoid trouble. He used his money and his position to make uke's boss his accomplice, even though normally uke had the freedom to reject any customer. He basically created the situation in which uke's job was on the line if he disobeys him and he knew perfectly well uke needs a job. He didn't allow uke to return his money which should be a normal thing to do. He actually demanded four times the amount if uke wanted to cancel their agreement knowing perfectly well uke doesn't have this kind of money and that if uke tries complaining nobody will listen to him, thus literally forcing him into a paid relationship. He basically did the exact thing money sharks do, which was shitty enough in itself but even more so that he was perfectly aware that this is what has ruined uke's family and his life in the first place. He was constantly making sure uke has no real choice but to do as he pleases and he didn't give a damn uke doesn't want any of this. He didn't do a single good thing for the uke in the entire story, he always just cared about himself. How can you see any love in that is beyond my understanding.
If you don't think it was love that's up to you. I don't have your eye sight for anything. What I read was a great story and I'd read it over again. If you don't see love from the seme's perspective, the uke surely showed it.
Searches my comment where was something hateful
If I choose to continue it is up to me also you can't tell people what they can and cannot say about their feelings on the manga. Like tf
I can and I did. Because it'd be disrespectful to person who put effort into it. Don't tell people what they can and cannot say about their feelings on a comment? Like tf.
Oh so the effort that you are on a free site not even paying for? Not everyone is going to like the manga and you can't make anyone like it. That is true with everything. People come to the comments to voice their opinions and others can take it or leave it.
What? There's a difference between translators and the actual authors. Do whatever you please, just don't continue immature about it. Like you said, I voiced my opinion. <3 (⌒▽⌒)
Translators translated it but have no bearing on the storyline so if someone says they don't like the story then that is them criticizing the author's work. No one was immature about you came in for no reason bout people not liking it.
You clearly haven't seen anything the upper person posted on others comments. But I'm not gonna sit here and do this with because I have absolutely no point to prove here. I just want to read my manga. Saying you don't like it is one thing, but continuously saying it is just no. I understand authors would need the criticism to know where they went wrong if you repeatedly said it that's going to hurtful. And unless else being immature and can do better and get the amount of reads they do, not just including this one story possibly, I really don't see the complaint. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But pardon me, have fun trying to prove some worthless point towards me because...I still stand by what I said. (︶︿︶)＝凸
....You do understand that the ukes job often included sex for money right? Like he had sex for money all the time which is why the seme was surprised to see him in such a place. It's a shop that offers that service for a price. The uke was fine with it until he knew it was the seme wanting to have sex with him because he thought he was insincere and a pushover. He basically told this guy, "yeah I'll let anyone buy me exept for YOU" Which quite frankly is hella rude. The uke was the one who put in a ridiculous amount of money for the seme to pay to take advantage of him and then humiliate him if he didnt have that kind of money. So when the seme was actually willing to pay 100,000 dollars for 1 NIGHT. He then still decides to back out? That's quite the shitty move considering. The uke treated the seme like shit this entire manga and the only time the seme lashed out was when the uke basically kept turning him down for no reason other than that he didnt trust him. The seme showed he was worth being trusted so what's the issue here? That you didnt like semes methods? That you think the uke had the right to belittle him at every turn just because the commodity being exchanged in this manga was sex? I mean he treated him kindly, offered to pay his debt, and was good looking in the ukes eyes. The dream customer in the sex industry. The uke just kept turning him down because he was scared of being betrayed and is quite frankly, a dick
I think he mentioned that he actually didn’t do night time dates/have sex with customers. He only agreed to go with the seme because a lot of money was offered and he desperately needs money.
I’m not saying he’s right or wrong, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t do that with anyone else.
Also, your body is your own. He fulfilled the one night he consented to for money. No matter what the other offered after that, he didn’t agree to it. No amount of money, gifts, or anything should make him ‘owe’ the other anything. He didn’t ask for those things. People don’t have to like someone just because they’re given things.
I enjoyed this manhwa because I’m depraved and love this shit with all my heart, but that doesn’t mean I condone it, and I’m not blind enough to miss what’s happening.
??? I mean the manga sure made it seem like he did because he didnt know that it was the seme who convinced the manager to pay for him and was going to sleep with whatever customer the manager wanted? And I never said he owed the seme anything. Im saying the uke was showing some pretty rude behavior and embarrassing the customer at every turn. Which then leads me to think its justified if the seme decides to report all this to his manager (which is what the seme was threatening him with) I mean if I needed my job so desperately, I'd make damn sure the customers I serve at starbucks have no reason to report me to my manager. He should have done the same and quite frankly, dug his own grave in my eyes.
This was really refreshing with a slightly different angle and I really loved the main couple. The only complaint I have is that sometimes it was disorienting, especially the first chapter like it belonged in another story :P
This is the exact kind of story I detest from the bottom of my heart. Rape, harassment, rape, and then suddenly all's fine. And I'm particularly triggered by the pattern of rapist first not giving a single thought to how the other party feels and then when the victim becomes confused and emotionally unstable and/or dependant he suddenly declares he won't do ANYTHING until he is explicitly told to and just completely shuts his "love-interest" out burdening him with a responsibility either accept his attacker or not being able to even talk with him. And it's sold as love, BARF! Omegaverse can be a great setting and many of my fav stories are omegaverse but then there are manga like this one that just use the rules of this fictional AU to make all the yaoi sins even more grave. Like, you know, there are good stories showing how alfa in heat practically driven insane with physical lust still finds the strenght to control himself and protect his loved one, and there are bad stories, like this one that just use the concept of heat as an extra excuse to justify rape. DISGUSTING!
You don’t need to accept rape in any kind of stories... Omegaverse does have a lot of rape but that doesn’t mean we should be fine with it, shit is crappy. You can still have a good story even with or without it this one however just really wasn’t it.
I can understand from your point of view.
@chxnzlky I like omegaverse and I intend to keep reading it and I don't like rape and I intend to keep complaining about it. I'm not obligated to be OK with it just because it's common, not in real word, not in fiction. It's grossing me out and my opinion is just as valid as anybody else's. If you think I should not read the manga if I don't like it (how am I supposed to know if I like it without reading it?) then why is it OK for you to read comments you don't like (my comment is titled in a way that leaves no doubt it's a negative one). And if my not liking the manga is offensive to people who did, why is your not liking opinion not offensive to people who feel the same way? I'm really tired of people who think it's somehow wrong to share opinion that's different from theirs. I wouldn't have minded if your comment was "I disagree with you, I actually think rape in fiction is hot". I'm not harassing people who have this kind of fetish, I understand they exist and it's their right to enjoy the story but I'm not obligated to be one of them. I'm upset because you're telling me I am doing something wrong by sharing my opinion. If I read something and didn't like it it's my damn right to say it.
I could not agree with you more. It always tilts me when someone says: "if you don't like it, don't read it and stop complaining". If that's how it works, then don't read our comments and stop complaining that we have opinions... ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Thank you :)
This manga did a lot things right and I mostly enjoyed it but I feel like some things were lacking because they were not established at the beginning of the story. We've seen how one of the guys goes all the way from "hell no" to "yes please" and it was quite good but something similar for his partner is missing. He was just as unenthusiastic in the first chapter and just as unwilling to compromise his pride and franakly a bit of a jerk and then suddenly he was loving and understanding. Why? How? Also, I'd like to see how both of them came from "whatever" marriage of convenience to actually caring for each other deeply. All we see how one of the guys gets to accept the bottom role, and later the other as well but that's all. Changing your attitude to sex is not the same as changing your attitude towards your partner.
Wow, that was really really touching but I feel the ending was too rushed and now I feel very unsatisfied after feeling all those emotions.
When we're at a point when after everything that happened Onodera concludes that Takano's touch is ALWAYS GENTLE I don't even have it in me to be frustrated or disappointed anymore. This story was full of inconsistencies from the start but now the line has been crossed after which I am not able to fill the gaping holes in logic with my imagination and empathy and I strongly advise you all to stop too. We can psychoanalyse both Onodera and Takano as much as we want but the truth is we'll never be able to rationalise any of them because they're reinvented for every chapter without the slightest care for what has already been established. There's no deep psychology here, there's just pure mess. And it will continue for at least two more years because apparently, it's the end of the volume and the author will probably need to write enough chapters to fill at least one more book. And something tells me that instead of just using Kisa's story for that she will throw some new obstacles and drag Onodera's case even more...
... when people tag romance manga as "consensual" because it's not obvious :(
I tagged it as consensual since when I was reading this only one person had apparently tagged it and one of the top tags was "do not read", which I didn't think this deserved at all. So I threw it in, hoping that it would show up just in case people were wondering if this was somehow icky.
it totally doesn't deserve 'do not read' tag and I'm glad I cannot see it anymore.
Seriously. I guess someone peed in the cerial of the person who tagged this story with something like that. Or they did a baaaaad misclick.
I don't really like very short stories but if you do, I think you might enjoy it.
As weird as it sounds, the thing that rubbed me so much the wrong way in this chapter is not the fact that Takano, yet again, forced himself on Onodera, but that he did it when Onodera was in the middle of explaining something. I don't know if you've noticed, but Takano seems to be so open about his feelings and willing to talk things through but in reality, he will only have a serious talk when he's in a mood. When he feels like it, he will just dump things on Onodera, whether he's ready or not, just like he'll just push him down whenever he feels like getting some. But when Onodera tries to talk with him Takano, instead of grabbing the rare opportunity, brushes him off or jumps him. This is annoying the living sh*t out of me!!!
This story contains:
1) brat-taming rape - although I'm normally very sensitive about non-consensual sex, I can somehow enjoy this trope sometimes, when it's obviously kinky and not too real, and with the right kind of brat and right kind of tamer. At first, it was this kind of situation for me, but then it went too far. Mainly because of
2) really twisted seme (I mean sensei) - I'm really fine with very kinky sex but at the same time I'm really bad with any kind of kink taken beyond bedroom and infringing on "normal" life, especially all kind of power and control plays. So I didn't like it the moment sensei started messing with his prey's actual life and got other people involved, which led to
3) voyeurism - just not my thing, in any form
4) really awkward foursome - each participant's circumstances made it impossible for me to enjoy, it was basically one guy emotionally abusing three other people and even though technically all of them managed to resolve their issues that way it left a really bad aftertaste
5) pregnancy as a magic solution to all problems - again, just not my thing, I love babies but not the idea that they just somehow transform two screwed-up people who don't really care about each other into a loving couple
6) omega x omega couple - probably the rarest pairing in omegaverse and the one I was really craving, the best part of this story but partly ruined by other characters and not flashed out enough
7) alpha x alpha couple - the idea was good, but both characters were rather unlikable and story was too rushed and inconsistent, with problems solved just by saying that it's fine after all
Overall I enjoyed this manga much more than I expected to, there were some really nice ideas there, if only it was taken more seriously and developed properly instead of just conveniently changing characters' personalities and making some huge leaps, I felt like it was a summary, not an actual story, too much was missing.
Wise words
This is probably the 1st time I see a story about omega x omega but the pairing it self as something mentioned in stories is pretty common. Many omegas are sons of an omega couple. I think the rarest pairing is female alfa x male omega. I only saw that one being mentioned once or twice and it has no story about it.
Anyway, thank you very much for this warning/review!
I've been looking for female alpha x male Omega story. So far, I've only come across with original characters from an artist on Twitter but she only draw them some snippets. I just hope she would draw something like 4-koma as I am a fan of that pairing.
Can you share the artist's name? I would love to see that. I also hope to see that story sono. Let's hope together the artist decides to give that couple some more love
@afternoontm / noon
Here you go. Check her out on Twitter. You'll probably have to scroll back. But I assure you, the few artwork she made about them will make you love the couple and their friends. They are hilarious and just gorgeous.
