Since we have seen Aoi's future partner (vol 4, ch 1 extra) and Shizuku and Daiki are pretty much set, I wonder if Noa and Minato are another pairing. Minato spends a lot of time around Shizuku's friends, so it makes sense that he might end up with one of them when they grow up.

Aoi's future partner was shown in Vol 4 extra, but he himself wasnt introduced until volume 5. It's called Tsuchiya and Shibata.
Noa is Shizuku's best friend (female omega), who sort of had a crush on her but eventually backed off after learning that Shizuku likes Daiki in wholesome middleschool love triangle way lmao

I'm pretty sure they're referring to this extra

Me too. Aoi wasn't even born when this was published, and it was published separately in some anthology. The uploader added it later (I think after the vol 5 was published)
I think the people who started reading the manga later (after volume 5) knew about it, but people who have been following since earlier (who had no reason to go back and re-read) missed it.
I have been reading this series since Naoto was still a single mom and Shizuku was an only child lmao. I sat down and re-read the earlier volumes yesterday to see if I had missed any other easter eggs.

As we know Shizuku is already an Alpha, but I kinda want Minato to be an alpha and little Aoi to be an Omega.
Minato has a sweet personality like Naoto-san and Aoi has makings of delinquent-Hazuki, so it would be interesting to have a shy sweet Alpha and a rowdy delinquent Omega toddler. He would be combination of Daiki and Tsugumi from Megumi-Tsugumi lmao

If u wanna read ABO where "fated" alpha seme is an asshole rapist and the omega uke does NOT end up with him, might I suggest:
- Shounen no Kyokai
- Kozure Omega to Boukun Yakuza - https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kozure_omega_to_boukun_yakuza/

Yess... The realisation that he himself pushed his soulmate to someone else. But the way he stepped for Rin (even though it was too late) is probably my part about him. Like my god, if that is a way to redeem a trash seme, it is that. He cant even have any expectations of Rin and all he can do is love him (he reminds me of Adam Sandler in 50 First Dates... My only fav Adam Sandler movie tbh)
Idk if I wanna ship them, or laugh every time Isaki gets one-up over him. Poor Tetsu has no idea he is in custody battle with Chika's aunt
