Yes! The twist was so good! I sat there in shock for a while time just staring at that page. I never saw it coming. I'm still thinking about it. I love it. This isn't just fucked up people doing shitty things. Every single person in that household was both a victim and a perpetrator of the discriminatory social standards of their society. By clinging so desperately to those ideals that only uplifted alphas, they ensured their own downfall. It's so deliciously karmic.
Well said
Yess, very well said. Speaking of deliciously karmic, the fact that only an alpha-omega pair can give birth to alphas while in this society, they have produced pills to nearly guarantee birthing alphas will result in no omegas being born in 15 years is wild. They're effectively ending the continuation of omegas and therefore, killing their chances of producing alphas as well
I have to say with the new volumes, the time skip proved to be very strategically well placed. I read spoilers and still did not anticipate for Saimon to kill Seijuro. I did not at all anticipate that Reiko was a beta and in fact everybody BUT Iori is either a beta or an omega. The plot twist wasn't just shocking but a testament to the irony of this society they live in. The fact that the child most disappointing and average and doubted turned out to be the only alpha in the Hanabusa family - Iori. The twisted nature of Seijuro in wanting so hard to prove that he, a beta, could pass off as an alpha and ended up pulling it off. This story is wild in the best way. It truly conveys the idea of how this type of twisted, prejudiced society will push people to go to drastic measures to attain or keep power bestowed only to one class--alphas.
