Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #omegaverse(154)

I think this mangaka does not like her uke’s very much. In the Omegaverse story the alpha deliberately raped and bit the omega. Not because he was overwhelmed by his nature, or full of lust and/or love. Simply from cruelty, the desire to control and dominate his boss. A horrible story because even at the end, the omega hated the alpha. And the bullshit excuse of putting up with a lifetime of rape and bullying so he doesn’t have to take his suppressants? Wtf kind of crap is that? Then, the other stories... The high schooler who blackmails the salaryman over old AV vid he was in and makes him have sex in public. Turns out the salaryman was fine with it but the dynamic was poor between the two. The story was meant to be erotic with a foot job under a restaurant table and fear of being caught, but the pair had no chemistry. The suicidal friend story I was looking forward to, but it ended unresolved and was way, way to short to do justice to such a sensitive topic. Total letdown, but has potential. The otaku friend in bondage story also had potential but it fizzled as it felt like a meaningless and opportunistic fuck with zero deepening of their friendship subsequent to having sex. The only story that was ok was the horrible doctor one and the male nurse. This one was good because they both recognised the dark nature beneath the friendly smile AND they developed feelings for each other. But even in this story the uke had to be sexually assaulted by a stranger.. like I said; this mangaka doesn’t like their ukes. They don’t have love enter the stories, they like the ukes to be raped and powerless without any retribution. It’s not even reflective of good BDSM relationships which have aftercare and trust and safe words. So, read if you like these kinds of stories. I was really disappointed.

Trigger warning; Rape, abuse (verbal & physical), domestic violence Two Omegaverse stories, loosely tied together by Nagaoka (omega) of the 1st story and his vile cheating ex Shichiku (beta), seme of the second story and all round low life scum bag. When Nagaoka finds out his ex is engaged and a cheat, he dumps him in a raging fury. Storming home his heat starts and he is saved by a kind beta stranger, Bandai. For Bandai its love at first sight, and he asks the bitter omega to move in with him. Hurt and resentful still, the surprised Nagaoka accepts, fully prepared to use the naive beta and pay his way with sex. And while he starts out like a selfish and entitled bum, Nagaoka can’t help but be wooed by the caring support of Bandai. The turn around when Nagaoka starts to realise how special Banda is was sweet, and these two just became more lovey dovey after Nagaoka opened up honestly. Now for the second story... Shichiku found himself a new omega after being dumped by Nagaoka. The young and tiny Nagisa was used for sex, hidden away in an apartment by Shichiku so that he could keep his fiancée and lover separated. When Nagisa found out about the fiancé he did not leave because he loved Shichiku too much. Hardly believing his luck, Shichiku strutted his way through his days until his fiancé left him for an alpha, then his subordinate at work (alpha) received a promotion over him and he had a public meltdown at work. Going home, he vented his anger on his tiny omega; hitting him, smacking him to the wall, raping him, verbally demeaning him.. In every way an abusive man who takes out his frustrations in life on a weaker partner. The only “good” thing that came out of it was he dumped Nagisa (the omega would have stayed, still loving the beta P.O.S). After this situation, the author had the beta hit rock bottom in life. Which, to me would be the perfect ending (other than arrest for DV and rape). But no.. he and Nagisa get back together, and the loyal support of Nagisa finally warms his shrivelled heart. Yada yada, happy ending, BS wtf.. Nagisa deserves better. Heck, pond scum would deserve better. This story was a TOTAL fail for me. All I could see was selfish prick rapist domestic abuser x victim. Where is the romance in that? Abusive partners are not ok.

A very cute little story with an alpha seme (Akiyama) who breaks the usual moulds on Omegaverse. He shares the downside of heavy expectations that go along with being an alpha and the lack of appreciation for the effort and hard work he put into his work. Then there is the omega Kasahara, who moves through life cheerfully but who is weighed down by the pain his mother feels for him being omega. Both alpha and omega help each other and have a sweet romance.

I liked the touch of sadness and loneliness in this story. It made falling in love that much of a sweeter balm for bth MCs. This story would flow much better if it ‘ended’ at the moment of happiness together. Then, title the future parts as an epilogue and extras and it would flow perfectly and be satisfying (instead the jump was very jarring).

Potentially an excellent story, just a few things that let it down for me. Firstly, Yamagi did something worse than rape Hibiya. He unethically experimented upon him, changing him from a beta to an omega because he had loved him for years. This was devastating for Hibiya, and I know that everything all got tidied into a tidy bow of omega falling for lying alpha and won over by long term love. But it really rubbed me the wrong way to arbitrarily manipulate someone’s gender in such a deceitful manner. My other problem was how the plot became challenging to follow after Hibiya started becoming symptomatic of being omega. Maybe it was all the secrets and alluding to the secrets, or maybe it was just lost in translation. I did like the way Yamagi had loved Hibiya for so long, and how in every other way than exerting his will over a non consenting adult and lying he was nice. Ofc I loved their child, and that they had a HEA. All that was sweet.

Taisei and Luca were best friends. When faced with Luca leaving because he was an omega, Taisei (alpha) offered to bond with him in order not to be parted. The boys loved each other and were ready to commit to being together forever. However, angry parents felt it was too soon so the boys bonded in secret. Once they were found out by their families, Luca overheard the angry views of his in laws of him holding back Taisei because he was an omega. Then at school, Taisei became popular. Their bonding was secret at the behest of their parents so Luca became the observer to his partners success in grades, sports, girls.. all the while he struggled with grades and feeling like an ever increasing burden. And then, a school mate raped Luca viciously. Devastated, Luca broke up with Taisei. The rest of the story follows them as they meet each month for sex in heat. It’s going to take something big to shake these 2 to being honest with each other. I liked the story because there is a lot of love between these 2, and they always did things for the best of the other, even if it was hard.

A smoking hot Webtoon full of sexy 3 way fun. Nurse Choi Yesung (alpha) and PE teacher Kwon Chan (alpha) are called upon to help the newly turned omega, math teacher Yoo, who had been distracted at his medical appointment to manage his out of control pheromones. Freaking out when he noticed his penis had gotten smaller, teacher Yoo could only see school nurse Choi as his clinic had closed for the weekend. Stumbling with the emergence of his heat, Yoo was helped to the infirmary by Kwon and collapsing on arrival, the 2 alphas had to help manage his heat with a marathon of 3 way sex. Needless to say, they rose to the occasion. Fully consensual this was a smut piece with affection and the possibility for more.

What a story! It broke my heart more than a little to see how shattered trust resulted in so much devastation between the MCs. There was something so sad in witnessing the insecurity and desperation felt by Jihan (beta) as he tried to hold on to Jaeun (omega) after he snuck out to treat Siwan’s (alpha) dog and came back in heat and with a bite. We are all shaped to some degree by our past, and the fathers of both MCs left some deep scars on their psyche. Their closeness in large part arose from being each other’s best ally and defender in their mixed family. Jihan had the added emotional trauma of being abandoned by his father who chose his fated mate over his family. As his mother mentioned, he had a darkness within, and everything happened in such a way that his need to protect became tarnished with the need to control. How devastating to realise that you have only hurt the one you love. That he left immediately was the hope for redemption. If he had stayed, knowing fully what he was doing and how it affected Jaeun, would have been too selfish. Both MCs needed the time apart to be sure of what they wanted, and that they could be a positive person in the others life in the manner they had always been before Siwan. This story was angsty yet sweet. There were a lot of things that made me angry for the characters and some that made me frustrated at the MCs. I even cried for them. Thanks to the author for the satisfying and heartwarming ending though. It was a roller coaster of emotions with a great finish. Signs of a really good story for me.

This was a really interesting Omegaverse story. Both the MCs were strong, determined characters which is reflected in their drive to succeed at volleyball. They also obviously cared for each other very much, so when the unexpected heat came and Kageyama lost control of himself it was more than a little heartbreaking to read. You couldn’t help but worry for their future. I think that experiencing the alpha/omega fated pair reaction to the heat through Kageyama’s eyes was a good choice. It really showed how the alpha was at the mercy of his nature, how primal he became and how he was at the unforeseen mercy of his alpha side. When his rational side started returning his devastation was real. Then we got to see Hinata’s thoughts, and he was so understanding and ok with the experience, even to the point of being bashful at the end of it. For these two, the alpha and omega bond made sense. By the end of the story I could see that each bought their own strength to the relationship and supported the other when they needed them. Plus, Hinata was such a cute little dynamo, I loved his expressive face. All in all, this was a really well thought out story.

This was ok. Mizutani (omega) was a sex worker as part of resolving left over drama with his mother’s death. He seemed to enjoy his job and there was no rape in the story because Kusaka (alpha) was very temperate, especially for an alpha. There were a few things that I question, like why was Kusaka’s dad so against his son dating an omega when he had loved an omega and found his only peace and joy with them? Legit..baffling. And is this a world where children can prostitute themselves in a common business even missing school and nobody queries it? And what’s with the alpha being ok with getting a BJ then watching the guy he likes go fuck some old guy in the room next to him? Yeah, you know it’s love when … I didn’t like how Mizutani was being so mentally condescending about Kusaka’s gentle lovemaking. Just a gross moment to have the guy you love not as good as the random guys who pay for sex. But hey, his face is sweet. I suppose I just don’t see the omega as pure in any way, and though there are sad circumstances around his mom’s death, being a prostitute for some far fetched revenge plot based on a photo and a crap ton of assumptions hit me right in the cringe. And, tbh I found the alpha kind of weak. Good points in the story include the art, the ending was nice with giving them some time before being together, and it was good the sensei was essentially chased out of the school. I was disappointed but I can see why some may like the whole retribution theme.
