queerdinosuar's manga / #alpha x omega(47)

I read about 3-6 of this and it seems like an interesting take on the omegaverse fated pairs trope. Exploring the downsides and problems with a system that permanently ties people physiologically to another person with no accounting for feelings. Obviously, Nanase drugging his bf into becoming an omega is fucked up but it seems like maybe he wasn’t in his right mind? Idk that was in the chapters I didn’t read.

This was kinda a weird one. Maybe it was the translation but the dynamic was weird between them.

It’s so fucked at the beginning but I gotta say the author is doing a great job with the redemption arc and the Taeju figuring out how wrong he was and trying to make it up to Euihyun. It’s one of the most interesting and well done redemption arcs I’ve seen. He’s still an asshole and a pervert, it’s not like his personality changed but he grew as a person to understand how to be a better person and understand his impact on others. This story is by no means perfect but I really enjoyed it. I wished Euihyun had gotten a bit more of a self-actualization arc outside of his relationship with Taeju. But I really enjoyed it and thought it was a good example of a redemption arc done right. One of the few BLs I’ve read where it actually delivered as satisfying redemption arc of “forgive but don’t forget.” I also just really liked the art and humor in this comic.
