Rate this book
Kota is a college student, and an Alpha. Still, he dreads bumping into his neighbor, a super-intimidating hunk with big, black tattoos. He always assumed this mystery man was an Alpha, too, and avoided him like the plague…until, one day, a scent wafts in so powerful it puts even the dull-headed Kota in a daze. It's the scent of Omega pheromones, from next door! He assumes his neighbor's brought an Omega home, but when he tries to leave, what should he find but the source of the his hot neighbor! How will he get out of this situation unscathed, and without his neighbor finding out he's a virgin?!

As a fan of omegaverse stories, I often find it challenging to discover narratives that delve deeper than explicit content.
I was thrilled that this story had a compelling plot and truly likable characters.

Does it incorporate smut? Absolutely, as is typical for omegaverse works. What caught my attention was that this story isn’t just about the physical stuff; it’s about two people who click well and genuinely like each other. The author skillfully developed both the alpha and omega characters, imbuing them with unique and compelling personalities.

Kouta, the alpha protagonist, breaks the mold of the archetypal possessive and problematic alpha. He is refreshingly portrayed as a virgin who shies away from casual encounters, yearning instead for a meaningful connection that goes well beyond physical attraction. This portrayal of Kouta isn’t just intriguing but endearing; he shines as an adorably awkward character with a kind heart, often finding himself in socially clumsy situations that only add to his charm.

On the other hand, we have Ryunosuke, the omega adorning the cover of this volume. He is breathtakingly beautiful, with striking tattoos that lend him a notorious bad-boy edge. Despite his alluring exterior, Ryunosuke's demeanor can often be abrasive, shaped by a jaded perspective on life and the challenges he faces, particularly as an omega. He struggles with the discomfort of his heat, especially when the medications prove ineffective. Yet, when Kouta’s soothing scent envelops him, it sparks an irresistible instinct, causing him to pounce on Kouta in a moment that pushes the boundaries of Kouta’s self-control.

Their relationship is an absolute delight—cute, healthy, and filled with humor. I found myself chuckling at their interactions numerous times. Kouta’s earnest insistence on safety, urging Ryunosuke to take his medication and use protection, contrasts beautifully with Ryunosuke’s playful nudges for Kouta to loosen up and embrace his desires. The progression of their relationship unfolds rapidly, embodying an "insta-love" trope as Kouta becomes smitten with Ryunosuke after merely one passionate encounter, despite the scant knowledge they have of each other. However, the author masterfully weaves their dialogues and interactions together, creating a sense of authenticity that makes their budding romance feel completely believable.

In summary, this story charmed me with its adorableness and healthy dynamics, and indeed, the smut was incredibly enticing!
I can't wait for the second volume to be translated!

This was very cute and unexpectedly funny. It's a quick read, but the connection still felt believable to me. They're both ultimately such softies for each other, and I especially love how much Kouta doted on his Omega.

edit: for anyone who was curious, bitting the nape of the neck is the “symbolic act of claiming an omega, marking them as belonging to the alpha.” 🙂‍↕️

OMG SO CUTE!! we love a respectful and responsible mc🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

now i gotta do my research because the fuck does bitting one’s neck do????

Quick, fun read. Kinda wish there was a lil more to it, particularly with the dynamic between the main characters. Love the idea of the omega being a tattooed tough guy type though.

I need so much more of this couple 😍 ugh that was so goooood!!! I love the “scary” looking omega, golden retriever type alpha combo so much. And the additional depth of the whole idiosyncratic alpha thing, with the alpha not even knowing, was the perfect touch.
Smut was 10/10 too, love the realistic sized peens & body hair!!

Idk man... the reviews on this one are so good and I'm just sitting here feeling like I must have missed something.

It wasn't bad at all, but the pacing was a bit too fast for my tastes. I tend to really like omegaverse stories for a bunch of reasons, but one of those reasons is because the whole concept of heats and pheromones is almost like a shortcut for my brain to understand sexual attraction (which I do not experience and barely understand as a concept). However, with that shortcut in place, I still need to be able to feel and see the connection blossoming between the characters in order for me to really get on board with their relationship, and that felt missing to me in this volume. They had sex once, kept thinking about each other, and then fell in love, without ever really getting to know each other, connecting as people, or doing anything that would lead to the start of a relationship. I totally get both Miyanaga and Kouta's reasoning (that he fell in love with his kindness and that he's the only omega he can smell, respectively), but those two things just didn't feel like enough by themselves. If they had been padded with extra relationship building, I probably wouldn't have any complaints -- just as is, the relationship feels a bit empty.

Their relationship does end on a good note, however, so I am interested in checking out the second volume, and I hope it will do some of the character building that was needed in this volume.

An adorable, College-aged Omegaverse BL! It's looks gorgeous, with green flag MCs. I'm glad I found this via FB rec 😁 (I love a badass omega). I easily read it at once in 1 & a half hour.

It's got a virgin, innocent, wholesome alpha Kouta with an experienced, baddie, tattooed+pierced & older (like by 2yrs) omega (Miya) Ryunosuke (on cover 🔥)! They're both so pretty, hot too. It's opposites attract & they're neighbors. I love when books flip typical tropes. Oh the nuances, of K's nativity yet care; R tired (& why 🥺), cutely shy & seductive. Plus, R drives a bike 🔥🔥, hell ya.

There's smut (of course, heats), cuteness, & insta love—I am not even mad lol as the development was quite good, even if fast. Trust was hard, but it was earned. It's interesting that Kouta can only smell his beloved Omega's scent! The friends were, um typical college boys 😅.

I am so mad at the condition of the omegas here tho. It is kinda sad that an alpha doing bare minimum is a gold standard. Final chapter was awesome. The twist that changes how we saw the start 🥺. This def going in as 1 of my fav. This ends on HFN & continues into Vol 2.

Comic rating:
1) The Characters: 5/5
2) Story feels: 🤭😯😏🤨😩😋🥵🥰🥺😁😍
3) Art: 5/5 (not colored)
4) Sexy/Steamy scenes: Yes!

A good omegaverse story where the alpha is a wholesome nice-guy and the omega a scary bad boy—out of necessity to avoid being harrassed.

Enatsu Kouta is a college freshman who is fed-up with his alpha friends constantly obsessing about omegas. He doesn’t get the fuss; he can’t even smell them. Until one day, when a scent of omega in heat hits him. Turns out, it’s his neighbour, Miyanaga. Kouta instantly rushes in to help, but in the end, the only thing that helps is sex.

It’s Kouta’s first time, so he believes that’s why he’s unable to forget what’s happened. But then Miyanaga seeks him out, because his scent is the only thing that helps him in his heat. His doctor suggests mating as a solution, but Miyanaga is sure Kouta wouldn’t do it and so doesn’t bring it up.

Meanwhile, Kouta tries to purge Miyanaga out of his system by hanging out with other omegas, but he can’t even smell them, let alone lust after them. Turns out, it’s Miyanagi or no one for him. It takes a bit of an effort to get Miyanaga to see reason, but soon enough they become a pair.

This is a fairly short and fast story, and seems like a stand-alone. It’s a pity, as I would’ve loved to read more about a pair with such an iteresting dynamic where the omega is the boss. Art is good, with some graphic scenes.

I enjoyed how fast it was. It was such an easy read and I LOVE omegaverse, but it didn’t feel like there was a ton of development with them. Idk it felt like it went from lust to love really quick and I wished there was a LITTLE more cute/banter filled moments. Overall, a good read, would consider rereading!

It’s not bad. But it’s really disheartening that that’s the best I can say about it. The pacing is choppy and the relationship development — a requirement in most BL manga as that’s mostly what it’s about — is juvenile.

That’s probably the biggest sin I can place at Nikuya’s feet: that Nikuya doesn’t even try to convince us why these two people would like each other. It’s a given that they do already like each other, because of the whole “fated mates” thing.

Characterization is another — both Miyanaga and Kōta are one-dimensional. Kōta is a big, nice, dumb puppy, and Miyanaga is a bitch, but a pretty one. Kōta early is even helpfully “classified” by one of Kōta’s classmates as an “athletic alpha” — we never see any actual proof of this athleticism, mind you — and Miyanaga is a “tough bitch”.

The only emotion that Miyanaga exhibits is jealousy, when Kōta accepts an invite to some omega gathering. Of course we are supposed to “accept” that Miyanaga is jealous because even then they were already fated, but storywise, Miyanaga hasn’t shown Kōta that he has any kind of special, unique regard/affection. What, do we just read minds now?

But since Miyanaga exists only to be fucked, it doesn’t matter that he actually does nothing for Kōta. His fuckability is the only thing that matters: since it exists, Nikuya posits that’s reason enough for Kōta to like him, and to continue to like him.

And it’s exactly because Nikuya avoids the question, “Why would these two like each other?” that the chemistry is so non-existent. What’s supposed to be a cute, fun story becomes a Funeral of Meh because they deal in stupid misunderstandings that are easily cleared up but don’t really reveal anything about their character or their affections for each other.

... I still went ahead and got コワモテの隣人がΩだった時の対処法 2, though. HAHAHA.

Genre: Mature, Explicit, Yaoi (BL) Omegaverse Manga
*this is NSFW*

The Catalog: MM (BL), omegaverse dynamics, secret omega, forced proximity, surprise heat, heat tending, inexperienced alpha, unique alpha variant (can only smell the pheromones of the omega he’s in love with), idiots in love

Synopsis: Kota’s neighbor is everything a tough alpha should be: tattooed, brooding, scowling, muscular, and intimidating. Kota doesn’t know how to approach him as an alpha himself. However, one day, Kota gets a whiff of something unusual — omega pheromones coming from his neighbor’s apartment. Thinking he must be helping an omega in heat, Kota is shocked to find out that the intimidating man he thought was an alpha is really an omega! And, he’s in heat.

Thoughts:
WOAH, my dudes. This manga is HAWT! The artistry alone is incredible, 10/10, perfection. But I also REALLY liked the story line and seeing how these two adorable dummies were going to realize they were perfect for each other.

Def recommend for omegaverse lovers!

Idk what kind of crack is in this book, but I loved it so much that after I finished it I had to read it again. And like I can fully admit that it's not a perfect book. There were a few things I had issues with and things I think could've used more development, but idk!! I love the romance and the relationship and it just really worked for me. I absolutely need a sequel because there's so many things this story didn't touch on that I wish they would've and I want to see these two go on a date!! Like their relationship is so insta-love and their situation would have made more sense if the author had made it fated mates. I usually hate when authors rely on fated mates when it comes to omegaverse, but I wouldn't have minded it with this story. Anyway loved this and I hope the sequel doesn't take too long.

I love an omegaverse done right. All green flags for Kota for being an alpha, but he doesn't want to take advantage of Miyanaga. Kota is just trying to be helpful, and he's embarrassed about being a virgin. So he is so sweet to Kota. But don't worry, there is plenty of smutty smut! I love the happy ending! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is super cute. As soon as I finished it, I immediately went back to the start and reread it because I just liked them so much together.

The story itself is not super original, but the telling is very wholesome. Both characters are influenced by their alpha/omega identities, but they don't turn into complete animals with no understanding of consent and normal society which is very refreshing in this genre. The complications were minor, so there wasn't too much stress involved; just a happy time watching them fall in love. Smut is involved, but I didn't pay it too much attention so I can't comment one way or another if it's good. I was too busy finding the progression of their relationship adorable.

Overall, this is a real gem. Sweet without being boring, omegaverse without leaning into all the worst tropes of the genre.

I liked it…. I wish it had more substance, bc there’s not much there, but I loved the artist’s style, and the characters are really lovable. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of this couple. Also, there’s really not much sex, so if you’re going into this purely for that, you may want to try something else.

I did like the concept of an alpha on the ace spectrum; can’t say I’ve ever seen that before. Did not like the pacing… I know omegaverse has some diff rules than irl society but they had sex ONCE didn’t even know each others’ full names, and they’re already saying they love each other??

Not only was it absurdly too soon for that, but it REALLY felt like some kind of “you can only have sex with someone you love” so the author felt they had to confess so they could fuck again.

Very cute mature BL manga.
Omega verse with a "love at first sight /Can ONLY smell their mate" trope

Nice easy going collage Alpha. Doesn't like hypersexulized life his other Alpha friend's are living. So he doesn't do mixers or parties. Turns out he has never had the experience of smelling a Omega and never had sex. Also, he lives next to super tatted guy who scares him.

One day something tickles his nose. he walks outside and low and behold, it is his neighbor.

Now you have a actual nice guy trying to be respectful and treat the man he is attracted to like a human and not a sex toy. While the Omega, has other plans.

it is spicy with a cute dynamic where the Omega is the dominant personality.
