I am not sure what surprises me more. The fact that it gets animated or the fact that some people actually want it. Nothing against BL in general, but this omegaverse works are worse than your average popular BL which is just a shoujo with plain main heroine replaced with effeminine boy. I find the concept cringe both as BL and as GL.

You know, to show such a story you can make a gay couple adopt the child, use modern science with donors or surrogate parenting or any other mean. What's the reason to justify it with "omegaverse" BS besides the pandering to fetishes?

But, to answer your actual question because with Omegaverse you can explore themes you can't with just a standard gay couple through stuff like pair bonding, and heat cycles. And while a lot of writers may not be thinking to deeply about it in this manner, it has always struck me how in a way OV stories are a somewhat exaggerated look into the female experience. But, allows the writers and readers a measure of distance by the character not technically being female. And, yes some of us just like the idea of mpreg, of a world in which both "men and women" can get pregnant. Nothing wrong with exploring that dynamic in a story.

2. These type of stories do not try to push any actual serious themes. And when they do, they do not put fetish pandering in the plot. At least normally. Quote:

So, the implications of a modern teen buying a sex slave isn't a serious theme, or fetish pandering, got it. Quote:
If those types of things don't work for you, then fine, but acting like the sole purpose of these stories is for fetish pandering, and not because people just want to have fun with an interesting concept, is asinine.

People can have fun with wherever they want and other people can find it dumb. Just that it's really looks like arguments some of my hardcore fujoshi aquitances will put.
Once again, I have nothing against BL (even if it's not my cup of tea) I just find the whole concept of OV offputing. If it was a GL story I will be bothered all the same.

While I won't deny that there are probably a few good omegaverse stories in the genre, it's also a lazy excuse for authors to bring back the old BL trope of semes being unable to resist assaulting the uke or the latter being utterly helpless to resist his advance, now with a fresh coat of "pheromones" to justify it. They have the chance to gloss over writing feelings and pass a lot of it off to biology. The mpreg aspect is often never the main focus, if at all, usually reduced to flavouring for the setting or the pregnancies happening off page before or after the story, the process itself largely unexplored. Personally, omegaverse is at its least head scratching and most fitting when applied to beastmen BL. That setup is perfect for those.
Again, there are bound to be exceptions and good stories out there, and I would normally just ignore anything omegaverse and continue looking for BL that I like, but BL TV anime are not only rare these days, they're near extinction as BL drama adaptations are now the preferred choice and what's left of BL anime shift towards movie/OVA format. So the thought of omegaverse taking up this already niche format is infuriating. There is so much more that could have taken precedence, so many more two men and a child BL. But, eh, at least it's not domsubverse, which is all the bad/lazy things about omegaverse made worse. Not yet, anyway. Also, Ishihira has no reason to ever be directing BL anime despite repeatedly being given the chance to but again, at least he's not actually touching something I'd be mortified to see his name on this time. |

Here's a page that largely explains it.
https://mangatoto.com/chapter/1585788 Just scroll down a bit. There's nothing overly explicit on the first few panels other then some anatomical drawings, but NSFW just in case. There are some differences between stories, like how much if at all a beta will react to the pheromones of an omega as an example.

Finally Yuuki my favorite side character is here, and once they're introduced properly by way of an accidental head bump Hikari takes to him like white on rice, and eventually starts calling him Yu-ku, much to Yuuki's initial dismay. But, as much as Yuuki may not understand Hikari's fondness for him, it doesn't stop him from hanging out with him everyday, reading, playing with toys, and taking naps together. Just so freaking cute and adorable.
There's a lot going on with Yuuki and his perception of himself, but thankfully, Masaki, and Hikari especially bulldoze through his dour outlook showering him with attention, happily including him in their life. When Hikari tell's Yuuki he loves him (and make no mistake this is akin to familial love Hikari feels here), he can't understand why anyone would care for a "loser like him", which causes Masaki to be concerned over why Yuuki would put himself down like that and for the second time. When Yuuki gets scolded by an older neighbor, and told he should make friends with people his age, both Hikari and Yuuki are almost brought to tears when Yuuki feels the need to defend himself, and Hikari feels like he's about to be rejected. Thankfully, Masaki is there for the save, and comments that Yuuki is Hikari's friend, his very first one. This causes the man to back off and things are left there. Later Yuuki opens up to Masaki that this is a normal occurrence with the man in question, and as much as it unnerves him he feels the guy is mostly right about him. He confides that ever since he was a kid he's been aloof and unable to make friends, and that once Hikari get's older and knows better he'll just be disappointed in him. Masaki tells him that just the fact that Yuuki spends time with him is more then enough, and to trust Hikari's feelings. Knowing that someone just likes having him around more then does the trick for Yuuki's mood. One of my favorite aspects of this story is just how the characters create this found family, with Yuuki as the first honorary member. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this cozy story adapted.
