hikage_neko's manga / #slice of life(39)

Love is an Illusion... a story continuation of "If you hate me that much" apparently, it took a different turn and made it into an omegaverse story. Hye-sung a omega, who pretends to be an alpha by using pheromones perfume and worked as a waiter. At the event, a renowned alpha Dojin who dislikes omega came to the party and accidentally smelled Hye-sung's pheromones. Our dear Omega got into a small hiccup and met a different alpha and tells Hye-sung to greet Dojin to see if nothing really happens to him if he really is an alpha. Given his natural state, Omega's body cannot stand an alpha next to him, let alone hold him... After all the twists and turns of their complicated relationship, thinking that Love is no longer an illusion... They still end up together with Byul as their baby, and another baby?... ^_^

At first, I was pissed off with how the story went coz the uke is too indecisive. He can't decide whether to go or stop, he even went on telling his brother to go back to being stepbrothers and act like nothing ever happened between them and he did it twice! But then he muster up his courage and finally act according to his own volition and they made it together.

Our dear couple Takashi (uke) and Hayate (seme) made a promise that they will date once a year on Takashi's birthday until our dear uke finds someone he likes more than Hayate. A promise that Takashi held on since high school and despite their circumstance, Takashi even fell deeper in love. Takashi thought to himself that he cannot continue with this unrequited love towards his straight friend, he lied by telling him that he already has someone he loves. Its a sad story of unrequited love having this feeling, that he needs to choose either to pursue his love, or have this kind of love be kept hidden. I still find this story really sad, even after reading it several times already...yet I still love it... I just hope this doesn't happen to me... a re-encounter, promises, once a year and all that ~~sighs~~

I've read this again...and again...and again... It always amazes me how beautiful our dear mangaka Mio Tatsumoto creates these kinds of stories. Its always different and definitely the unique ones which always leaves me in awe. The stories always have a slice of life, its difficult but definitely not impossible. I love our dear couple, Satoshi (seme first then became uke) and Keita (uke first then became seme). Their story started since high school then fast forward to living together after 3 years. After resolving their issues, Keita had this feeling that urged him to top Satoshi which made both of them weird, but were able to overcome those fears by being honest and revealing what they truly feel inside. Sweetness and fluff overload is absolutely felt. I'm glad that I was able to reminisce this again, and finally made a review and comment on this beautiful manga. I hope there's season 2! ^_^

One of CTK's best stories I should say. The story about Jimmy (seme) who was caught stealing someone's wallet by Reese (uke) a middle-aged guy and ex-cop. After Reese saw what Jimmy did, instead of turning him in to the police, he asked him to work at the bookstore and became a mascot and did all the chores for the day. So to get back at Reese, Jimmy decided to break-in at Reese' house but didn't do anything. Jimmy then went to work at the bookstore. At first, he thought that he was just curious about Reese, but then he found himself being attracted to him physically and eventually emotionally. After being a couple, Jimmy kind of slipped-out that he went to Reese' house despite him not being invited in yet to his place. Jimmy confessed what he did, but out of Reese' anger, they didn't talk for several days. They did make up after their fight and eventually Reese' decided to go back to being a cop again. I first saw this story after reading Midnight Rain (way back since I don't know when ^_^). I thought it was almost the same with Midnight Rain, but this really had a lot of fluff in it that even Reese' could barely endure it spoiling Jimmy ^_^ I love how the story developed. Though it was kind of fast-paced (well since Jimmy said he don't know how to take things slow ^_^) the story and the art is definitely something to look forward to!
