When you're writing a soulmates-type story... is it really necessary to add other people in the middle of the story and make them lose 8 years of their life? I did not miss the implications that the guy was likely cheating before they broke up either. And then the innocent party even had to live on after his death. There are so many ways to create conflict in a story without something like this smh. This would've been unbearably wholesome without that plot point, but as it is it just left a bitter taste in my mouth. That was almost 1/8th of their lives. Also ''it's not like we were gay to begin with''?? Gosh I'm so glad that newer stories don't try to push that bull anymore

The story was pretty good, but I feel like we needed at least 20 more chapters after the climax, just to round everything up. I can't understand what went through the author's head when, instead of establishing their new normal in the extras and helping us feel like they were receiving the HEA that they deserved, they decided to do a time jump 10 years into the future. Like sure, it was nice and it did show us that HEA, but that was not what this story needed in order to feel complete...

Decided to re-read this because I was in the mood for mpreg and I didn't remember why I rated it so high. This time the cute baby could not brainwash me. Pregnant husband running away from home at the first sign of trouble and disappearing off the face of the planet for the second time... would be grounds for divorce AND trying to get full custody eventually, because that's about the most selfish thing a parent can do. I would not be able to trust him after that, as a partner OR as a parent. Babe, you don't get to take that child away from his dad too. He deserves to have a choice in this. The ML's only mistake was caring more about his family than his career, and like. Yeah, he should've talked to his partner about the suppressants, but... can you blame him when he had reason to not trust the MC with this? The guy was terrified of him disappearing again. And he did.

On that note... authors, can we please, PLEASE stop making omegas run away from their partners and/or children for selfish reasons? Why did THIS become a popular trope in omegaverse (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

I chose to stick to the fan translation since it was so good, so seeing the honorifics dropped once I had to switch to the official translation was jarring to say the least. Sublime really needs to stop doing that smh, it made Togawa sound so rude and disrespectful and made him finally starting to use Nozue's first name at the end... pretty much meaningless. I honestly believe that honorifics should be kept in any translation. Not like the buyers won't already be used to them anyway.

That aside, this manga was a joy to read, especially the first volume. Firmly putting this in my future middle-aged crisis TBR list lmao.

This feels so weird to say because he still has a TON of making up to do, but I'm so proud of the dad. Sometimes all you need to do is to swallow your pride and just... try. You'll fail a lot, but your efforts will matter. Baby steps.

And for all of you out there who have a difficult relationship with not just a father but anyone dear to them... may they find the strength to fight for their right to love you.

Ran here as soon as I finished watching the drama and, gotta say... the earlier episodes of the drama felt silly, but at least they were perfectly paced. I didn't expect this to be quite this rushed..

The structure in this manwha is all over the place... By themselves, the stories are pretty good, but because of how they're cut and intermingled they just feel frustrating and unfulfilling. Every time I start to get invested in a story or something interesting happens... we switch to the other couple. I'm stopping mid season 2 for now because I simply don't have the patience for this right now.

Maybe this could've been good if it had had enough chapters to properly develop these characters. As of right now, all I see is a bottom who only cares about his partner's body and a top who seriously needs some therapy. Sure, they're still together after 10 years and they apparently have kids now, but all we got to see about that was basically the same dynamic that we already saw before. I wanted something short and sweet for once sigh.

Societal change starts with healing generational trauma: a story.

I feel like I was a different person before I read this and now a tiny part of my inner child is happier. I am thankful to this author for spreading such important messages.

Came back to this after years when I saw that there were like 50 new chapters. I fully intended to treat this manga as a silly no plot nonsense strip comic type of thing, but I gotta say. The girls not changing at all in like 70 chapters and Satou doing absolutely nothing to stop them from acting like that, and then the way he keeps wanting to see Yoshida being upset... Not saying that protagonists need to be perfect at all time, but I do find characters like Satou unlikeable. Can you really say that you love someone when all you want is to make them soothe your insecurities by bringing out the worst in them and making them miserable half the time they're with you? And not just Satou, most characters have no development at all, which would be fine if this WAS just satire, but the author keeps trying to take it seriously. Like this latest arc that had no foreshadowing and came out of fucking nowhere. No, I don't consider Satou being tired and saying that he's been talking to his friends from England a few pages before he disappeared development. It's... really disappointing to feel like the MC in a BL would be happier with the ML's nutjob, sadistic female bestie ngl. Girl flew all the way from Japan just to give him a piece of her mind for what he did to Yoshida and in that she showed more genuine care and concern for Yoshida than Satou did in the whole series smh

I'm surprised that most of the messages in here are so positive. Yes, their relationship is adorable, but I feel like there isn't much to talk about in terms of romance plot. Most of it is focused around one of them refusing to communicate properly and constantly ending up in trouble with that stalker because of it. I'm glad that he promised that he'd be honest from now on, but then he went and did it again when he got jealous. The only reason why it didn't escalate into more drama was that he was found out pretty fast...

Oh, this was adorable. And it was also so nice to see Yangyang again too

I know that the author didn't want to specify exactly what kind of disability the ML had, because they didn't want to influence people's perceptions on different types of mental health issues, but this was the very first time ever that I felt like I was reading about an autistic character.

Fandoms like to put stickers on various characters to relate to them better and to create some diversity, but I've never really subscribed to that agenda myself despite also being neurodivergent, because it never fully clicked for me until now. I immediately knew that the author was doing it on purpose and that I could trust them to handle it respectfully. The reason is that I have met the ML in real life. I have friends who struggle with the exact same issues that he has. I have been in the MC's shoes in multiple occasions, feeling his frustration and forcing myself to have patience so I wouldn't hurt or dismiss the other person, because I was fully aware that they were not malicious or being purposefully cruel. They simply, truly did not understand.

People like the ML are real, and I'm happy to see some real representation in such an unlikely place. I'm really thankful to the author for wanting to spread some awareness and for trying to show us that people like him are not unlovable or broken. They're just a bit different, but they deserve our respect as much as anyone else does and should be treated as people with qualities and defects. I'm so, so glad that I didn't drop this during the first few chapters.

I was looking for an omegaverse to read and I came across this again, so I got curious after I saw all the messages. Honestly? I remembered this being a lot sweeter. I don't know if it's that I'm older now or if it's that my standards for stories have grown a lot compared to idk 2018 or whenever it is I read this first, but I can't believe I used to consider this one of the best Japanese omegaverses.

And look, the premise has a lot of potential in the right hands. This author's? Not the right hands. At all. You'd need a lot more pages than what you can fit into a single volume to make this work, and you need A LOT of development for the MC to not make him sound like someone who should be on a government list. And to change your interpretation of what happens when a ''fated pair'' meet. For instance, not something sexual. I really do think it's possible to take this questionable story and turn it into something genuinely devastating in all the right ways.

All that being said, I'd much rather read the mock version about them being close in age and fighting like cats and dogs because they can't stand each other. That one seemed more fun than the rest of this manga combined.

It's really so nice to see something this healthy for a change. Like, yeah, there are still all sorts of tropes in it, but they're handled pretty tastefully and the characters always work through their issues together like adults, so their relationship feels pretty realistic. I wish there were more BL webcomics and manga that do this!

This really picked up in the last few arcs! It's a pity that they couldn't fit them into the anime.

This had a very rocky start that made me think that there was no way that I'd end up liking it, and I feel like there wasn't enough time to explore the characters in depth, but it ended up being surprisingly healthy once they actually talked about what they wanted to be to eachother. I really appreciate the lack of communication issues.

This is just my personal opinion, but I wish omegaverse authors stopped making omegas run away from their partners either during or immediately after a pregnancy. At least this time it actually felt like it made sense with the protagonist's personality and his struggles, but using the same conflict twice was overkill.

That aside, I'm impressed by how this author handled the other usual clichés that we find in these type of stories (like the alpha having a past traumatic experience involving an omega in heat driving him towards escapism instead of making him an asshole towards omegas, or the suspected love rival actually just being Some Guy who genuinely admires the omega's career instead of thirsting after him). The characters, for the most part, feel well-rounded and multidimensional. The only thing that this story needed to feel completed was a mating bite scene. I usually wouldn't care that much about whether they mated or not, but there were several times where the characters themselves made it into a big deal and it feels like something's missing after finishing the story with not even a mark as proof that they finally did it.
