#Neglectful father #Absentee father as a plot device lol #Because if father stayed at home the story would fall apart #As main conflict in this story would disappear #Uke was lover to father's dead brother #Uke is 10y older than seme #Misunderstandings #No one talks anymore~ du du du #Grief/Loss #Stalker assaults uke #Dubcon #Perceived cheating #Son thinks he stole father's lover so that's hilarious Okay well this was interesting. I like the general premise of a child growing up into a young man and wanting to be with the one who took care of him. Those ones are always a ride and it leads to guilt and shame on the caretaker's end, which is fun to see them work through--with, of course, the persistence of the younger one. It was a little bit different because Uke never saw himself as a parent figure to Seme, but there was the whole tension of not wanting to ruin Seme's life and to protect him.

If there was going to be any omegaverse that anyone could love and everyone should read, this is it. There is rape in this manga, but it was years before Uke met Seme and the way rape was handled was realistic and tragic, with the way rapists were handled later being satisfying. One of the probably five (out of the 50 or so I've read) w/no rape between Seme and Uke whatsoever. Other things I love: (1) the no-nonsense portrayal of just how oppressed omegas were and how society needs to make SIGNIFICANT strides to make a just system for omegas, betas, and alphas. (2) The way Seme and Uke love each other so fkkn much. Seme gives Uke respect he deserves and Uke gives Seme a happiness no one else can. (3) The psychological aspect of alphas standing above others. Seme was affected by becoming scared and rejecting his privilege until he realized he could use it to protect Uke. Rapist was affected by letting go of morals and digging himself deeper into cruelty. And more lol. Last aside: The rapist here has dark marks under his eyes, which reminds me of how Sangwoo and Bum have dark circles under theirs to represent how unhealthy they were. So that is a nice foreboding touch there, Hijiki-san.
