Megumi & Tsugumi, Vol. 3

めぐみとつぐみ [Megumi to Tsugumi] #3

by Mitsuru Si

A tough-guy omega who believes he can control his heats through sheer willpower meets his match when he faces off with an alpha unlike any he’s ever encountered before!

Tsugumi is an omega whose sole goal in life is to beat up any alpha who crosses his path. But when he faces off with Megumi, he’s finally met his match—just not in the way he thinks!

After meeting during a fight, alpha Megumi and omega Tsugumi wound up friends with benefits, but now the two are a true couple! Megumi is overjoyed that Tsugumi accepts being with him even when he’s not in heat, but Tsugumi is still Tsugumi—oblivious in matters of the heart. Wanting to be serious about their relationship, Megumi consults his father again but is only left to ruminate. To make matters worse, someone new is vying for Tsugumi’s attention!

i’m flying my through these volumes. they are not my fav but for some reason i can't stop reading.

thank god subaru was barely in this because i still hate him so much.

the new "villian" was unnecessary to me. it felt very cliche and what is in almost every omegaverse at this point 🙄 i liked seeing the jealousy from megumi and him being so protective over tsugumi though. overall, they were still super cute and i'm glad tsugumi is accpeting his feelings for megumi and opening up more to him 🥺

TSUGUMI'S FATHERS' ARE THE FREAKING CUTEST. i almost like them more than megumi and tsugumi. i had the biggest smile on my face reading their short story at the end.

Five stars alone for Tsugumi proving to the world that putting someone in a headlock is the 6th love language.

Tsugumi is still a little slow on the uptake and just as violent as ever but he's trying and for that, we love him. Megumi has the patience of a saint and his reactions to Tsugumi's little actions and comments MAKES MY HEART SO FULL. THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE.

this series really loves its dub and noncon scenes.

There's lots and lots of smut. Tsugumi is cluelessly adorable and his boneheadedness is a bit more toned down. Megumi is still a hopeless romantic. And the jealousy! How fun.

I also very much enjoy Inami character style but also throw the man away.

[Ben Howard · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Megumi and Tsugumi so much!! Megumi is such a hopeless romantic it's so cute. And Tsugumi is very stoic with his feelings, but when he slowly opens up and shows them it's everything.

Also love Tsugumi's dads. Their short story at the end was adorable.

3.5🌟

Megumi and Tsugumi are so horny in this volume 😂 Absolute horndogs. Absolute chaos.

I do have to admit that I lowkey liked the drama with Inami…or whatever his name is. I’m weak for his character design 😂 But he’s a menace to society. He needs to stay away from Tsugumi!! Tsugumi belongs with Megumi, and no one should get in the way of that 🔪

Anyway. I don’t have much else to say about this volume. Like last time, I loved learning more about Kuroji and Harutsugu’s backstory. Another pair of dumb dumbs that I adore 💖

I find the progress fulfilling. The characters are amusing. I've been invested this far and I can't stop.

The spiciest one yet! I love Megumi and Tsugumi! Megumi is such a hopeless romantic and Tsugumi is a mess but adorable!

Die beiden Schwachköpfe sind mir in Band 1 und 2 richtig ans Herz gewachsen. Stetig entwickelt sich deren Beziehungen und besonders Tsugumi, der kein Gespür für zwischenmenschliche Emotionen hat, geht Schritt für Schritt auf Megumi zu.

Deren Vibes sind zwar unschlagbar, aber Band 3 war für mich bisher der Schwächste. Zum einen finde ich, dass die Protagonisten zwar immer mehr zusammenwachsen, aber dennoch nicht viel charakterliche Tiefe gewannen.

Allgemein wirkte der Band recht oberflächlich auf mich und unnützerweise durfte, na klar, der Liebesrivale nicht fehlen 😩. Das hat es mir ein bisschen madig gemacht, weil‘s auch nicht elegant gelöst oder gut umgesetzt war. Zudem gab‘s die Situation ja bereits andersherum 🥲.

Was ich allerdings gern mochte, war, dass es ein paar Sequenzen zu Kuroji und Harutsugus Vergangenheit gab. Tsugumis Eltern sind nämlich zuckersüß!

Nichtsdestotrotz, habe ich meine Freude an der Reihe und bin schon gespannt, wann der nächste Band angespült wird 🙏🏼. Hoffentlich fokussiert sich dieser dann wieder mehr auf die emotionale Entwicklung und Tiefe der beiden Chaoten.

[Jesica Sabrina Canto · Rating 4 out of 5]

La historia continua y aparece un tercero en discordia. Es interesante que, si bien el personaje caprichoso e irresponsable siempre fue Tsugumi en los tomos anteriores, acá Megumi se da cuenta de que su intención de hacer las cosas “correctamente” en realidad es un error.
También tenemos la continuación de la historia de los padres de Tsugumi, que sigue siendo muy buena. Hasta uno quisiera que tuviera un desarrollo completo y no ser solo un extra.

[Heather’s Reading Bubble · Rating 3 out of 5]

All I am asking for at this point is one volume to go by without someone attempting to assault someone. This series has so much good going for it but the fact that every volume has either questions about consent or straight up attempted assault is holding it back a lot.

[Clare · Rating 4 out of 5]

If I had to submit to something whether I wanted it or not, it'd scare the hell out of me

No other line could have summarized the Omega existence better than this

Klappentext: Megumi will sich ganz offiziell mit Tsugumi verpartnern und geht nochmal auf Konfrontation mit seinem Vater, der aber hört gar nicht zu. Das frustriert Megumi sehr und dann taucht auch ein Kerl in Tsugumis Umfeld auf, der sich mit Tsugumi anfreunden will und ihm ständig auf die Pelle rückt.  Das riecht nach Ärger...

Cover: Ich liebe das Cover total und auch wie es gestaltet ist. 


Storyline und Zeichenstil: Nachdem fiesen Cliffhanger von Band 2 konnte ich Band 3 gar nicht abwarten. Megumi bekommt Konkurrenz von einen fremden Typen und war gespannt was da abging.  Auf jeden Fall fand ich es toll wie Megumi und Tsugumi immernoch ein bisschen zwei Vollidioten sind aber zu einen richtigen Paar werden. Der Typ der sich an Tsugumi ran macht war okay hätte man jetzt nicht gebraucht aber ich glaub das haben gebraucht. Ich hab es geliebt wie die ersten Bände. Die zwei sind mir einfach ans Herz gewachsen und dass es ein Kapitel zu den Eltern gab von Tsugumi fand ich umso toller. Liebe die zwei ebenso. Diese Kombinationen der Paare gefallen mir sehr.


Meinung: Ein sehr guter Band 3 mit einen fiesen Cliffhanger und zum Glück ist es noch nicht zu Ende. Ich war echt geschockt am Ende dass es so endet. Das konnte ich einfach nicht glauben und musste im Nachwort mehrfach nachlesen. Hab mich sehr darüber gefreut und kann Band 4 gar nicht mehr abwarten. 
Ich liebe die beiden einfach und hoffe Band 4 bringt mir ein schönes Happy End. Ich kann euch Megumi und Tsugumi sehr empfehlen.

Bewertung: 5/5

This series just gets better with every volume. I was so excited to read this one, as I was hoping to see Megumi and Tsugumi's relationship progress, and I was not disappointed. It left off on a cliffhanger, which makes me want the next one right now. Part of me wishes I had waited to read these until they all came out, since I love it so much. But another part of me enjoys the ability to reread it as I wait for more.

In this volume we see a new character introduced in Inami, a new student at Tsugumi's school. Megumi is jealous and annoyed when he starts to come around. Then there is a problem with Megumi's father not accepting Tsugumi as a boyfriend let alone a future mate. I appreciated their decision to wait until they were out of school, but with the events that happen in this book, is that even a possibility anymore?

The bonus story with Tsugumi's parents was cute. Readers get to see what they were like before, shortly after becoming mates but before they got married, and both sets of parents (Tsugumi's grandparents) are revealed.

All in all another excellent volume that really changes my perspective on omegaverse.

2.8!

i love the dads lmao <3. came for the main couple yet stayed for them frfr.
also not that glasses guy standing outside the door😭✋F
WHY IS THE ENTIRE FAMILY RIPPED.
aw his smile :,). ok but papaya-mango tropical parfait sounds so good omg.
shoulda gave him an xtra punch, megumi 🤛.
WHEN THE DAD VOMITED LOL like father like son, now we know where tsugumi got it from
also glasses guy is mad annoying pls leave
UUF my dumbass read another ongoing series :< hopefully the third party matter will be dealt with quickly. also,,,these mfs are 16 and talking abt marriage and pairs damn sons, it’s ok to slow down. im interested to see how everything goes with tsugumi, but tbh, he’s still in the midst of his teen years. becoming pairs, speaking of marriage!!…it’s all happening so fast. makes me wonder abt the worldbuilding,,,like how unsafe are these omegas for such urgency?? ik there’s instances in the manga of alphas assaulting him bc of him being an omega, so is that the norm for most ppl too?? rambled here but just curious ajsjs.

[Dayla · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favourite things about this volume was how Megumi makes Tsugumi really think about his feelings and what they are to each other. Sometimes I want to pat Tsugumi's head because I think he's taken a few too many blows to the head. He is so stubborn, but he at least admits when he doesn't understand something--especially love-related (which is so interesting because his dads have such a cute and romantic relationship).

We're introduced to someone new in this volume and sigh, another similar theme happened in this as in the last volume and I just, one star off for that trope. I hated, hated seeing it, but thankful that it didn't go any further than it did. Plus the AUDACITY of that character. Please.

I devoured this volume. It was shorter than the last two, but held so much story! Props to Tsugumi's adorable little sister, and punches to Megumi's horrible father. Also, the side story continues to be adorable!!

Happy reading!

[Ren || Reading What I Want · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ahhhh! I adore these two so much! From enemies to frenemies with benefits to lovers to mates, these two are both the dumbest and sweetest guys ever. Megumi is an alpha that has no idea what he’s doing but he’s crazy about his omega. And Tsugumi is the anti-omega who’s more omega than he thinks. He’s not the brightest but he actually…is…if you get what I mean.

So Megumi’s dad doesn’t accept Tsugumi because he’s an omega and there’s a new guy at school who’s a bit too interested in the omega which makes Megumi a little crazy with doubt and jealousy. There’s some REALLY sweet moments where Tsugumi says something and Megumi almost squeals like a girl. So cute!

These two are the only guys I know that can be on the same page but be on different paragraphs sometimes. I’m LOVING their relationship development and can’t wait for more.

[Calista · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love that the lead names are in the title. It's easy to remember who the characters are when you read a lot. Our relationship is getting deeper and deeper. Here, we have a third party introduced that causes some jealousy. Megumi seems to be so clueless. He's a total bruiser.

I do like where the relationship is headed. We only had one heat in this issue. We also get to go to a waterpark.

I feel the story is so fun and so entertaining and I enjoy the story. I like omega-verse stories. They are so crazy. I'm on board for volume 4.

[Anastasia ⋆｡☽˚｡ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really love that both characters don’t change each other, or themselves, to fit their partner. Megumi and Tsugumi go a bit further in their relationship in the sense of they want to become a pair (which is the equivalent of marriage) and it was amusing seeing the misunderstanding of Tsugumi thinking they already were a pair.
I think the introduction of a new love rival, although this time he wants to win over Tsugumi, was a bit irritating.
