otakulys's manga / #alpha x omega(1)

Junjou Shounen

Complete | Sunako | 2015 released

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really can't stand when omegaverse stuff uses female terms for male omegas. "Wife" and "mother" and "mom" just sound weird, but the issue I have is that whole "being penetrated makes you a woman" bs that ties misogyny and homophobia together. I mean, trans men who give birth don't refer to themselves as mothers. It just irks me. Plus his "mom" had that super dorky mom haircut that you see, making it really hard for me to remember he was a dude. That aside, the fact that the alpha supremacist father so easily flips around like that made me roll my eyes a little. There were things here and there that irked me, and I debated on my rating of this one. But ultimately, it was an interesting story with a sweet pair (though with the risk of him being bitten and claimed by someone else, why not just get it done with?), and even with its flaws, it was better than a lot of the stuff that happens in many omegaverse stories. At least this one doesn't treat rape like it's a firm handshake. So four stars it is.
