Ruby Red wo Kamikudaku
School nurse (beta) x former student (omega) My rating: 8/10 OMEGAVERSE, AGE GAP (10 years), TOUGH UKE Akane is an omega who can see people's pheromones as multicolored "crystals”. Everyone has them, even betas. During his school days, he often had to go to the school infirmary because he was overwhelmed by all the colours and often got into fights. There, he met Makise, a school nurse teacher and the man he fell for. 5 years later, they meet again by coincidence. Akane's feelings never changed, but Makise only tells him he treasures him as an important student. In spite of saying that, there's a secret Makise hasn't told him. ️ Edit (Spoiler): Both Makise's parents are alphas so he has some treats of an alpha too. Even though he can't mark Akane, he can sense his pheromones and trigger his heat.
Hanagara Tsumi
Office worker (alpha) x office worker (omega) My rating: 7,5/10 It's a good story about two people denying their own feelings and struggeling to stay together nevertheless. I like that their own decisions are more important than their second gender. The characters are quite complex, the uke's shy, envies happy people but overall more clear about his feelings. The seme's more confident but actually pretty tsundere and trapped in his own head. However, it's all a bit confusing bc of the wonky translation. OMEGAVERSE, REENCOUNTER, HATE TO LOVE Shuu's partner at work is none other than Ayame, his ex-bully, Alpha senior from middle and high school. The same Ayame that used to call him, an omega, out and toy with him over really trivial things. But somehow, Shuu got attached to him and was left feeling lonely when Ayame left. Now, Shuu just wants a peaceful life, but is that really possible now with this reunion? And is Ayame really the jerk he appears to be?
Mitsumei
My rating: 7/10 It's interesting but I wish it wasn't so short. I want to know more about their backstory, the organisation of the mafia and all that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. I like the protagonists, they're both strong and somewhat opposites at the same time. It's open-ended but with a positive perspective on their future. MAFIA, MILITARY, REUNION Ivan, a spy of the Russian army, must investigate the right arm of a mafia boss. But his target is a very close friend he made in the military academy who he hasn't seen in ten years, Edward. Ivan can't help but wonder what made him become like that.
