Idk just from looking at some panels, there was one where he tried to reach out to Rin from the opposite bed (I think Rin tried to stay over for a night) but decided to go to sleep. Still tho makes it sadder for Taiga bc he really could've made Rin happier earlier and would not have to suffer from pining over Rin one-sidedly for a long time.

But in volume two it just became a typical abo story. Suddenly being an omega is a societal problem, omegas are inferior than Alphas and Betas, and there's emphasis on society still being the same shitty place it was years ago. Shishikura's reason for marriage branches out to be more about his second gender and security as an omega living in this shitty world that looks down on him. I thought he wanted marriage because of fomo? jokes aside though, initially he wanted marriage because he wants to be happy like his parents and siblings and friends. He original reason for marriage was for happiness. That's such a good and sweet reason. The change made it about safety concern instead. Why did it have to change from that? Just to overcomplicate and crumble the world building back down to the typical.
Shishikura also gets attacked while in heat, typical. The conflict with the family blessing was dealt with very poorly. The trauma Kotani carried for years and the hate the dad has, and his mother's presence and cause of his trauma was glossed over easily, fixed just like that. Not to mention Kotani's little spat with his older brother about not messing with omegas (Shishikura) and the brother was like "like father, like son" to imply the dad is someone who does the same but that little bit never took off and the Dad is just a shitty omega hater? I wonder if that subplot was gonna go somewhere but got cut loose? Idk.
I enjoyed their struggle with coming to terms with what they mean to each other when it really comes down to it but the execution was poor for volume two. It was messy and didn't seem well thought out, just felt like a cookie cutter obligated sequel. The art style change was expected but the stylistic choice for Shishikura specifically was...iffy. His hair being droopy compared to the more volumized perkiness in the previous is a huge loss imo. Also Kotani losing his defined waves/curls and getting replaced with basic flat waves. Cries.
I read this years ago without volume two and really enjoyed this, gave it good score. Now I'll have to change the score cuz volume 2 was disappointing.
Imo if I'm gonna read this again, i'll consider the story ended at volume one and knowing they did eventually get married, then skip volume two to read the extra about having their daughter will suffice.
