otakulys's manga / #omegaverse(46)

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.

Aw, I wanna know what happens next. Honestly, I have mixed feelings. The first half, I loved it. The alpha actually physically harms himself to prevent himself from raping the omega. That never freaking happens. And he's nice and everything. But then it's all tsundere and typical with the omega chasing after him. We all know the alpha secretly wants him, too, but I'm sure it's gonna take five chapters and thirty misunderstandings for us to get there. So annoying. I'm leaving it at four due to misplaced optimism that it'll surprise me in other ways. I just hope it goes up from chapter one and doesn't just crumple into cliches.

Aw, very sweet. Sad and heartwarming, though there are things I wish it would have explored more. Still, I liked it, and I love hurt/comfort sort of stories. I want more of them where the seme is protective and loving. Personally, I'd like a more passionate and expressive seme early on, but all the same. I give it 4.5 for the first six chapters. If more come out, that might change.

I actually really liked this for the most part. Not sure why people hated the uke so much. From the start it was clear that most of what he was doing was a defense mechanism. It broke my heart that he was so in love with Tsugitsugu like that, but it pisses me off a bit that they never addressed the fact that the rape and mark from the alpha was partly Tsugitsugu's fault. I know he thought he was doing what was best by leaving Kei, but why would he choose such an awful time? I couldn't get past that, and I feel like most people were hating on Kei and Ekihito more than anything. At any rate, I wish I could see the spin off of their kid growing up and falling in love with his friend. That was a cute little extra. I also wish someone would translate those first two pages. :( I should also add that there's a super messed up sex scene near the end. I mean, I guess that's a true sign of love if you can keep it up when the one you're banging is... doing that. Pretty crazy. I feel like it would catch a lot of people off guard. Not a pleasant surprise, haha.

Aw, I really like this so far! Bummer that it's just the one chapter right now. I look forward to updates. I like when omegaverse stuff plays with the roles and stereotypes. It's nice to see an anti-rape seme, especially one who cares so much. I hope the story stays interesting and unusual. EDIT: Had to drop a star because I just can't stomach the whole "rape is okay because I actually ended up liking it" BS. Whatever. I still like the characters, but I wish they hadn't even included that crap. At any rate, it's up to chapter six now, and they finally have feelings for one another. I just hope from here on out, things are good.

Feels a liiiiittle convenient that he's seemingly run into the guy he raped and had consensual sex with him. But hey, it's yaoiland, so whatever. I was mostly intrigued because it's really rare in omegaverse to have the alpha feel guilty for raping an omega. I would love to see that played out more, like genuine trauma from his own actions. I'm guessing this will mostly be smut, which bums me out since I like more story, and the smut so far didn't do much for me. But it's not a bad manga as of chapter one. I guess we'll see how it unfolds. CHAP 2: Still interesting, and the sex as therapy for his past trauma is nice. I really like seeing someone truly damaged by the awful thing they did, specifically rape. You just never see that explored, and it's even rare to see a rapist in a BL even acknowledge that he is one. So I do like that, if nothing else. I wanna see what's going on with that other omega at the brothel, though. I hope he gets a spin off.

Oh god, the fluids. So many fluids. D: This was some seriously fucked up shit. I'm glad it stayed that way, at least, and never became consensual. I hate that in omegaverse. Or in general, but it seems pretty common in that genre in particular. I mostly am horrified by how much dripping there was. It was super disgusting. But whatever, not the worst oneshot I've ever read. I don't like doujinshi that forces a non-canon or unrealistic pair, but I like omegaverse, despite myself, so here I am. This is only the second time I've encountered abortion in omegaverse, though. It'd be interesting to see the concept explored more.

Hm. I liked it in ways, but I feel like it had a lot of potential to be better. There were also some frustrating, rushed elements, and I felt like things were resolved way too easily. It was very sad when that teacher got fired because of a misunderstanding, though. And the way that the uke was treated didn't seem to be as much of a focus later. I would have liked to have seen more of that. Anyway, it was sweet, and it had a happy ending, so hey. Plus it's rare to see an omegaverse that actually focuses on the kids or pregnancy, so that was interesting.

I liked it, but that end with the condom drinking made me dry heave. Why? WHY? Anyway, I think there were a lot of moments that could have been more detailed, and I would have liked to have seen the main pair fall for one another in a way that was less abrupt. There wasn't enough on their emotions from the start, just sexual harassment, then suddenly love. I wish there'd been way more with the ex-boyfriend, too. I like what a sadist he was. But I wish they'd touched more on why he just left out of nowhere and never wanted to mark him. It seemed odd. At any rate, I look forward to the sequel finishing, because it's only partially done, and Utou deserves a bit of happiness, I think. If he can actually get it. x_x

The pace is a little odd, but I'm intrigued. Only five chapters so far, though. Boo. Poor guys. They both dealt with some crap back in the day.
