Ok, I really liked this one...that's how I feel about it, it was great.

But I gotta put that aside and ask:

HOW DID THEY HAVE THE BABY? I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND NO ANSWERS! TWO ALPHAS=BABY=HOW? SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME...Was taught the wrong omegaverse or something?

Surprisingly, there was no dub-con or non-con in this. Actually, an event near the end is very slightly dub-con, but overall, this is a well-handled omegaverse.

Both main characters are quite rational (by omegaverse standards), though one more than the other. It's a cute couple where both in the relationship want to be closer to the other, and respect boundaries. Wholesome couple.

Art is great, characters are likeable.

Overall, a rare find in omegaverse. Try and give this a go!

What can I say--other than that I thought the anxieties and struggles were very well portrayed and that the overarching message (that communication with your partner is of the utmost importance) is a message that's always worth reiterating. The doctor's pushiness in the first chapter felt inappropriate and rape-y and then, as one might expect from an omegaverse, there was a losing-control-because-of-being-in-heat moment in the final chapter which was also pretty rape-y. But even with that, this manga still felt like it was emphasizing the importance of consent and respecting your partner's limits more than I think I've come to expect from yaoi manga. I also very much appreciated how this manga emphasized the love these two had for each other throughout the manga and how they were simply working through issues in order to strengthen the long-term health of their relationship.

I think my favorite scene was in chapter three, where Kazumasa was fingering femself while Takaomi was blindfolded. It was steamy and hot, while also portraying some sexual experimentation (which fed into the broader storyline).

It wasn't cute, funny, or romantic at all.

[ Spoiler ] only a few parts

There were so many wrong things in this manga. From the beginning, when tachigani went to have fun with girls just after getting married. Also, when he went to the counselor and did not tell his partner at all. And finally, the mom drugged them and forced them to have s*x so that they can have a baby because she needs an heir. 

It's probably just me, but I didn't think there were any romantic or sweet moments as such.

This manga was a fun read, with gorgeous art. I enjoyed the dynamic between the main couple, and I quite liked the parent characters as well (I say "quite" due to how one parent acts towards the end of the manga). The doctor was an interesting side character as well.

Mangaka Fuyu Natsushita sprinkles in panels where kanji or effects push against characters or push them backwards, which adds to the comedic effect. Natsushita's reaction faces were funny as well. For me, the manga had an upbeat, comedic tone overall. This was one of those oneshots where I almost wished that there was more because of how much I liked most of the characters.
