This story is completed. Hold on for a naughty illicit 14 chapters of brotherly love. Yes, it’s full on Sweet Home Alabama, no doubt about it, brothers, but it’s not Shota. Petite college student Kanata (19yo) has always had to be the strong, responsible big brother. Something that he thinks his younger sibling Keita takes advantage of, so he seeks some pampering in his part time job as a “Little Brother” where men pay to spend time “spoiling” and talking to the young men there (who knew there were such cafe’s?!). High school student and swim team athlete, Keita actually teases his big brother to get his attention. The fit young athlete has no idea that the brother he admires has such a job, and when he finds out the two have an enlightening confrontation. Talking seriously for the first time, their relationship starts to heal and become close. There’s just one problem; a new awareness for Keita towards the big brother who looked so adorable as a little brother.

Story is completed. In this dark story, high school elite Rurikawa (Wolf. Alpha. Male.) is a dominant species in a world of carnivores and herbivores. Instincts, beauty, and intelligence make him a desired breeding partner, but Rurikawa is looking for a rare special mate to impregnate. Other alphas won’t do, and betas are just food. So when he meets a lower species, Kyougokuin (Rabbit. Beta. Male.) Rurikawa is stunned to be overwhelmed by the need to breed the beautiful creature before him. Is it fate? Or is there more to this predatory bunny than being a real man eater? This story is definitely dark with horror themes. It makes it challenging to like the MCs when they are truly not very likeable. But they aren’t as 2D as they first appear with softer sides, loyalty and friendship keeping them interesting and ofc the babies in the school are very cute.

3 complete Omegaverse stories. Volume 1: My favourite pair. Omega Hiyoshi Tatsuru, is in highschool where he portrays himself as a beta. His goals are to marry a β woman one day and have a family. However, when he dropped his heat suppressants at school one day, his heat overwhelmed him in the presence of alpha Yamato from his neighbouring class. Each was overwhelmed by the pheromone response of alpha and omega and soon a friendship arose from sharing their time and support with each other. Vol.2: Alpha Amou Ren is a new highschool student with a keen interest in having sex with an omega in heat. When he notices the temporary modern Japanese history sensei, Maki Takahiko (24yo) being pressed for sex because of his heat, Ren boldly struts forth to offer his alpha services to “Omega sensei”. However, he was coldly rejected and told “I hate alphas like you the most!”. This story follows Ren as he grows up emotionally and falls for the sensei who has never had an alpha partner. Vol 3: Ever since high school, Omega Chiaki, and Alpha Tora, have been having no strings heat sex because Chiaki is unable to tolerate suppressants. When his heat comes Chiaki sends a message to Tora who always responds to the booty call, despite always having a girlfriend. It’s a dynamic that has lasted for years, but these two have never even really been friends or built a friendship. Despite that, their time together has forged stronger bonds than either realised, and it took another man being there for Chiaki for Tora to wake up to how he really felt.

Completed Story. Omega Tatsumi had met his fated pair in highschool. But fate didn’t select a good alpha for him. Marriage and a baby didn’t change his partner to a decent man who steps up to his responsibilities. So when Tatsumi was faced with a debt to the yakuza and an ex husband who had disappeared, he was the one who had to protect his son from danger. However, the yakuza who was awaiting payment had decided to claim Tatsumi for himself. And worse, this scoundrel was the type to defy fate and make Tatsumi fall for his protective possessiveness and surprising kindness. Can there be more to love than mere fate?

Misono Yuu is an omega masquerading as an alpha to be able to complete his childhood dream of being a gold medalist swimmer like his uncle. But on the very first day he transferred to the elite alpha only school his pheromones outed his gender to one of his classmates. Hirose is an average alpha who found himself instantly smitten by the new transfer student. When they were both attending swim practice he stumbled across Yuu in heat and both were swept away by the pheromones. But while Hirose recognised his fated mate, Yuu was avoiding him at every turn. Spoilers ahead* I loved most of the story, but hated how quickly Yuu gave up on his lifelong dreams and instead watched from a distance as Hirose got them. For such a driven omega, he just handed his dreams over and didn’t even support the man he loved achieve them? That’s just one of several reason why the ending was extremely unsatisfying.

Completed stories. These stories are all set in a dwindling population world where cat/ human anthropomorphs have evolved to where both biological males and females are able to have babies. Similar to Omegaverse, it’s the release of pheromones that signal heat but it’s usually chosen by the one wanting to conceive, and usually only detected and irresistible to genetically compatible couples. The stories were mostly set around a modelling agency and had very different themes. From a purebred model x poor insecure orphan wanting a family, to an age gap young model x older manager and talent scout, to a doting young uncle x predatory nephew, these were all enjoyable.

The cuteness overload, beautiful art, and feelings between these 2 make it an instant favourite. Kai Shizuki was a famous child actor now on hiatus for high school. Apart from being a popular prince type, he has a special ability to see balloons above peoples heads that show their feelings for him. So when he is saved from some 1st year fan girls girls by the dangerous and intimidating by Shinozuka, he is surprised to see the biggest, shiniest balloon over the reputed bag boys head.
