Asumiko Nakamura's storytelling range never ceases to amaze me. This story had dark temptations, was hauntingly beautiful, and just... raw. The ending of the story made it difficult to put into words. I just know that it's so good that I return to re-read it every few years. I also love that most of everyone in the comment section suffered and felt the same way albeit expressed in many ways. In a way, we're connected after reading this, even if anonymously, and that's such a human experience. I really appreciate that.
Been waiting forever for this to update! Thank you, Megane Fan! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Every now and then, I run into a completely relatable story that resonates with me on an entirely personal level. This is one of those rare times. This manga was beautiful, soft, and tender. I look forward to reading Dayoo's other works.
I've read the raw version before... There's actually second part for chapter 5 that was never uploaded. :( So reading chapter 6 feels awkward.
Thank you Aniwhatev for picking up the translation! Much appreciated! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I don't normally like the Omegaverse because it tends to take the agency out of the characters and simplify them into horndogs. Some stories even say that the ones they're fated to can still abuse them and even hate them. But Kuroi Yodaka is one of my favorite authors for a reason! I've read this manga so many times now.
I want to highlight one (of many) things I absolutely love... The Omega Takes A Husband seems to imply that there's more to being "fated mates" than just looking at them and immediately know they're "the one". This story blurs the line between "fated mates" and the character's personal wants and needs. When Yoshiharu thought to himself that he'll kill his fated mate if it isn't Makoto, it seems to imply that they have some choice in the making of their own fates. So, you'll never know if Yoshi/Mako became fated because they love each other so much, or because of fate itself that caused this growth of love over the course of their lives. The reason for it is a mystery and I personally find that way more interesting. It doesn't have to have a define answer. That's not the point. The point is to give the agency back to the characters and giving them a choice.
Plus, I love that Yoshiharu is a tough omega and actually have some power in his own story (something I wished most Omegaverse authors do). The whole cast is wonderful, colorful, and funny as well. While a bit dark, something about seeing some folks beating up others to a pulp while talking as if it's just any good ol' casual day is entertaining as hell to read.
One of my favorite stories ever! And the voice actors in the anime gave the characters so much LIFE! I recommend this to every single one of my friends!
Uuuuughh, they're so cute! Kobayashi, too!
