ALisAnimeLover's manga / #marriage(10)

What I hate and love about this manga is the part where it could be improved: the plot twist itself where the omega's mate for N years is the alpha. I didn't feel the love before they mated (would be cute if there was), or at least any attraction from the alpha (because it just felt like he banged the omega cuz he was drunk and would make a pass at anyone; and he just felt attracted to the omega at present because of the mating). And a more reasonable reason for being forgotten (here it's just cuz they didn't know each other + drunk). But at least it's anticliche cuz of the no-amnesia part, lol.

He cried because he noticed that his friend liked him and he never noticed it before - he finally realized what he put his friend through. *sobs*

Ch 12-14 were the only chapters which screamed "Arf!" Mostly "plot", but no actual plot. I love the saleslady at the sextoy shop. And I love how *spoilers* the author veered away from *again, spoiler tag, jic* the love triangle idea~ Spared us the unnecessary drama and gave us a whole new sweet side couple. Another plus is how one character openly admits he loves his partmer only (or mostly) due to his face and size, but is still committed and seems very much deeply in love~ And I'd also like to note that while the concept seems weird/wrong, there's no dubcon and rape (although part of that is because of the uke's personality) Finally completed. They got engaged

I loooooooove it when they adopted pets. I hope this gets a sequel

Ch 1-2.5: story about childhood friends who hate each other but got married. Sweet! I love the subtle love-hate relationship where action speaks louder than words! Though I'm mildly disturbed by the seme tweeting that the uke is cheating - although the fans support them so I assume they know the context afterwards. Ch 3-6: A story about the bartender and his step-brother who's a famous actor with whom he had a heavily toxic relationship with when they were young. They were feeling the same way towards each other, however, they didn't talk about it, hence the story. I like how they (especially the seme, since he seems to be an entitled asshole when he was young) matured nicely and came back together well.

Ch 4 is an unrelated one-shot. +1 star "it's the first time I felt like I wanted to be with someone forever" same with me for my second love (my first love ain't like that). But ey, life isn't always good.

First/Main story: Cute but messy pacing. Di ko tuloy feel. And cringe ("sometimes i find u cute") and i dun really feel that anything has been resolved. Interesting tradition but no explanation. Perhaps, it's in the prequel. will read that. 4 Second: similar as first story, i have no idea what the difference is. 3 Third: bodyguard x client. woah there, hahaha. 4 Fourth: idk, skimmed during my reread. meh. and why does the uke look so much like a girl, i don't even understand if it's bl or not. 1 //reread because i forgot the other stories tbf i do remember the main story so that's good

I love the translator's notes as well. Thank you very much for summarizing and explaining parts that weren't included in the manga.

The mom :'( I'm glad the dad found the mom's list of music to recommend which made him realize how much the mom loved Kusakabe as a son.

Lol, for once, I love the MC's (Santa's) ex. He really just wants to be friends with Rintarou so he keeps bothering him
