A good story following childhood friends and rivals who grow up to join the same profession as international pilots. Sakuraba is a ladies man, the kind of pilot with a woman in every port. He feels the jealousy of his friend surpassing him first at school and now at work, and it brings his competitive side to the fore. Ukaji has had feelings for his friend forever, and when he is asked to play the role of boyfriend in order to scare off one of Sakuraba’s persistent admirers, he takes things a little further than asked. I liked both MCs, though Ukaji was the sweeter of the two.

A collection of good short stories with a range of characters from a stalker uke relentlessly pursuing a guy afraid of love to a young couple having fun for an afternoon in a countryside lake. The art was beautiful, really adding to the appeal of these stories.

This Omegaverse story started with a selfish alpha boss (Chief Utsumi) who wanted his untouchable omega secretary to fall for him and become his lover. Purchasing a secret potion designed to make an omega fall in love with an alpha, Utsumi spiked the drink (albeit with a twinge of conscience) and waited for the opportune moment. However, in a quirk of fate and right in front of his eyes, the spiked bottle was consumed by the plain and taciturn beta Suzuki. Disappointed, Utsumi was resigned to missing his opportunity (as the potion only worked on omegas), at least until he noticed an irresistible scent as he entered the showers.. From there, Utsumi is on the roller coaster of guilt and attraction as he starts to fall for the wary Suzuki; a man who has already been terribly mistreated by alphas in the past. I enjoyed watching Utsumi gain understanding for just how much of a scum he had been as he became twisted around Suzuki’s little finger. He needed to be a man of principal and protect his partner as well as being loving and reliable to have Suzuki even consider becoming mates. I loved the way Suzuki didn’t just roll over for Utsumi after sex and sorries and I thought their love was really sweet. It’s always great to see a selfish MC grow in character to be a better person. It made for believable romance.

Trigger warning: Dubious consent Kindergarten sensei Ao was a rare breed, 10% omega and 90% beta. He lives as a full beta in the community with the help of suppressants and values his independence, especially when he compares his lifestyle to his twin omega siblings mated pairing with an alpha. When Ao met the homeless Reiji on the way home one evening, he was surprised that an alpha can be such a drifter. But Reiji was alpha enough to scent the omega in Ao, and he wilfully sexually dominated the omega, to the point that Ao’s omega traits strengthened and he demanded more from the alpha. The rest of the story was about the MCs falling in love. Reiji has to learn to not take Ao for granted and to value him for all his traits, and Ao needed to accept his own heart and true nature. I think the story would have benefited from extra chapters, but I liked that Ao kicked Reiji to the curb for not respecting the parts of his life he valued. A strong omega is something I really enjoy. Also, beautiful artwork!

Salarymen Shishikura and Kotani have been bitter rivals since middle school. Well..at least Kotani has since the loud and excitable Shishikura had forgotten all about it. But, rivalry renewed, an early heat had Shishikura looking toward Kotani with hopeful, heated eyes. Even in bed, these guys are making demands and bossing each other. Only, now they are moving to being rivals who are astoundingly compatible. And it seems no matter how much they try to avoid and antagonise each other, they end up being thrown together and back between the sheets. It’s going to take some time for these two to realise the many things they admire about each other, that they may be more than rivals.

A good story with beautiful art and some angst; I really enjoyed Shuu and Ayame’s story. Shimotsuki Shuu (omega) first bumped into Satsuki Ayame (alpha) on his first day at middle school. That was the start of his own personal hell as the older boy kept Shuu at his beck and call over the next 4 years. I found this part of the story sad for Shuu. Because even though Ayame had good reasons to keep Shuu close (as you find out later), Shuu genuinely suffered during those years under the constant bullying attention. He had no friends and his self perception was very negative. Their reunion in the workplace years later had Shuu and Ayame pairing for a mentorship program. The distressed and frazzled Shuu faced constant critique for his design projects and initially reacted with poor self confidence. But this was the setting of the realisation for Shuu that Ayame was a better man than he would have believed. As the two MCs began to understand each other better, and Shuu saw the soft side of Ayame, you could tell that Ayame actually cared for the omega he liked to insult and Shuu was drawn to the protective alpha too. There were lots of flashbacks in the story which was nice. However, sometimes when the mangaka came back to the present the MCs would rapidly progress in their relationship in ways that weren’t convincing. Despite that, the story was a lovely one to read and the last page in the manga was my favourite.

A great Omegaverse story that had some lovely messages that fit the plot and didn’t sound contrived. Like not being limited by your gender and being your authentic self. Which, given that idol Mitsuo was an omega passing himself off as a beta in the public eye, resonated well with his character as he fell for his new partner, alpha Seto, and was publicly outed. The romance between the younger kouhei Seto and Mitsuo was sexy and sweet. Uncensored and pretty artwork and likeable MCs, this was a winner.

I am not familiar with the characters so there was a lot of assumed knowledge I didn’t have available. Also, it started after the virus had spread so I didn’t get to see how that happened. Basically, I don’t recommend this unless you are familiar with the main story this is a DJ of.
