WorldBear's manga / #cute(107)

Their shops are across from each other in a small (Italian?Spanish?) town and Camilo has been in love with his friend, Teo, for a long time. Teo has been struggling with his own understanding of sexuality and his attraction to Camilo. Meanwhile he also has to deal with being a liqour store owner with a low alcohol tolerance. It's all super cute mutual love. No real angst. MORE PLEASE!

Honestly my favorite by this author. No pushing, questionable consent sex and a relationship pace that makes some sense. I wish the story went longer, so you could see them grow even more, but overall it's a sweet romance with just the right dash of angst and drama.

Both couples in this story are adorable in their own ways. The first couple, Kuma and Hachi are a more stereotypical omega x alpha couple. Their initial encounter is a little questionable, but they eventually become a sweet and devoted couple, supported by Hachi's family. The second couple, Mitsurou and Suzume are less typical. Suzume, the alpha, might be younger, but he understands how important Mitsurou's independence and control over his body is to him and doesn't take advantage. He waits for years and continues to ask consent. Seriously, if only more omegaverse stories could be like that! And it isn't any less wonderful for the consent. If you are looking for a sweet omegaverse story, there are few on par or better than this.

The story revolves around a talented, young cellist, Tetsuo, who is extremely lonely in his small, sea-side town. He longs to play a song that requires two cellos, but has no one to play with. After being the (sole?) survivor of a boating tragedy Ikumi joins Tetsuo's family. Ikumi opens up to Tetsuo once he hears him playing the cello and they become close. It's a beautiful story so far, though it gives the feeling like it might become terribly bittersweet in the end.
