We still haven't caught up with the beginning of the story where they are planning to meet irl in the Summer.
Idk what season we are in now, but I just went back and checkered and the story flashes back a year from the time they plan to meet, so I think it might be a long time before we get to that meeting.
I appreciate how the author tried to give the omega more agency. As much as I enjoy them, ABO stories are notoriously problematic. Consent is often disregarded, but this story tried to turn that on it's head. I think people have gotten to accustomed to the tropes and have forgotten how messed up they are. In this case, Tsukishima (the omega) takes charge of his own reality, and I respect him for that. He just wanted to be free to live his life. Yeah, he manipulated Narumiya (the alpha), but if he hadn't been doing so this would have just been another story where an omega is vulnerable because they are in heat, and they don't want to be outed as an omega, so they allow some random alpha to fuck them. Y'all seem to have forgotten that the whole dubious consent (aka sexual assault) to falling in love story is inherently messed up.
The author was clearly just trying to write an ABO story where the alpha isn't a shady rapist.
Hey, let's not fight, people. It's not the end of the world. I've been reading Manga online long enough to remember site after site being shutdown, and this is just one story. You can be upset, but you are going to have to move on. If you can continue to read, great. If not, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Move on. Don't cause yourself unnecessary stress. It's going to be okay.

I sincerely hope y'all are able to separate fiction from reality and realize this kind of possessiveness is not okay in real life. It might be tame compared to the other stories some of us have read, but that almost makes it worse because it's more realistic of the kinds of toxic behaviors people deal with from their partners in real life. It's easy for things to escalate in this kind of situation and for the person to isolate you from your friends and family and control your whole life. I'm warning y'all: do not seek out this type of relationship. It's dangerous. You do not want to become a statistic.
