An Omegaverse story that doesn't involve rape, though nearly has sexual assault but doesn't. It gets pretty fluffy in the the end. I like the story for the most part, though there's a lot that feels more like pointlessly going through the motions, but for omegaverse stories in general the bar is in hell, so it's pretty easy to be acceptable (even if it's depressingly rare). I'm really not sure about this couple, they fight a lot and seem to have difficulty making decisions together. I feel like they're together more because of some sort of genetic based pull, then because of their feelings for each other + relationship. It's not totally believable for an enemies to lovers plot, but it's ok. I'm a little miffed at why Kotani hated Shishiruka, the reason didn't seemed to hold any water. He seems pretty emotionally stunted, and in need of doing some work on himself, though his sharp edges do blunt a bit by the end of the second volume. Still, I'm left with the feeling that Shishiruka deserved better. Kotani's brother seemed much nicer and was just as compatible, though I guess he wasn't what he seemed in the end anyway so that potential relationship wouldn't have been good either. Probably. There's better bl out there, but I'd say this is one of the better omegaverse stories simply because of the absence of rape. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ It does feel very rushed though. I don't even know how long they're been together and suddenly marriage is dropped onto the relationship! Like my god, Shishikura knows barely anything about Kotani! The audience barely knows anything about him. I know Shishikura really wanted to get married, but for crying out loud, live together a minute first! AND get to know each other! Particularly about family before meeting them. These guys just immediately marry after meeting parents and only move in together after marriage and THEN on top of that they have a kid. There's no mention of it being years later, the characters look the same, it feels like the entire plot and extras of the story happened in 2 months. So rushed...
