Story : The storyline is pretty decent imo and i kinda like the plot twist at the end. But the progression feels unnatural, and some plot are too overused. It'll be better if the mangaka can keep it original :". And then the plot twist- the plot twist is unexpected but rlly that's bcs of a reason. The mangaka rlly didnt hint it in any way, it'll be better honestly if there's kinda a hint so it'll be more "mindblowing". And i nearly forgot about this one, but the climax is.. uh.. meh. Idk what to say more... Oh, the ending is good bcs of the plot twist but honestly i would appreciate vol 2 bcs the extra is such a cliffhanger. Art : The art is ok.. and there r not a lot that i can nitpick. But for me, the expressions of the characters are not drawn that well, its decent  but it can hv some improvement. Characters : Ok finally the characters. The uke is ur usual "im an alpha" guy but he hates omegas, basically that's it. No other unique traits. Imo, he's just too gullible, his reason for turning that way is unnatural too, basically its like hving no reason for turning tht way. And then.. the seme. I rlly didnt expected him to be like that in the end, and it caught me off guard. BUT ofc i wont expect anything like that since its not hinted at all, so its such a lame trick, rlly. And its such a shame that the mangaka didnt give a reason for his obsession of the uke (if ucan call it obsession idk), i expected it to come in vol 2 but im not optimistic it'll come soon... Should you read this?? Well a pretty decent read i must say, especially if u like alphaxalpha pairings ;)) but there sure are better things to read out there.

The social dynamics of the alpha-alpha relationship were explored in this manga, which gives an interesting perspective on the omegaverse. Yoshiki and Tsukasa's relationship began with fluff too, but swiftly went out of control. I have an emotional attachment to Tsukasa's circumstances because his family has constantly made him feel inadequate. Yoshiki's past, on the other hand, is revealed, and I am disgusted by his excessive obsession and manipulative manner. It was disappointing that they ended up together, and I can't imagine their relationship lasting a long time. Tsukasa is in such a toxic relationship, and he doesn't deserve this. Yoshiki is a complete trash who is obsessed with the idea of being superior and doesn't give a damn who or how many people he has to hurt.

Story: Kind of disappointed that it basically ended on a cliff hanger and felt like it was missing at least one more chapter to clear things up. Besides the ending, the story was pretty good. I didn't like the extreme alpha mentality (the cliche "omegas and betas are useless" yada yada), but Tsukasa's thinking WAS eventually explained. Although it ended suddenly, it did give an eplanation to Yoshiki's view of Tsukasa. Art: Art was pretty good/normal for its type. Character: Once again, each of the main character's have enough backstory to explain their current thinking. It doesn't go too much into detail, but it is a short story so that's expected. There a little character development with Tsukasa toward the end. On the other hand, Yoshiki doesn't seem to have much character development, you just learned he is a bit ...special.. on the inside. But once again, it's only 6.5 chapters soooo.
