A wonderfully cute story about a little family and their day to day life - the most remarkable thing, apart from the unbelievable cuteness and warmth of the story is the background setting - this is part of the so-called omega project, a series of manga using the alpha-omega-beta concept as used in fanfiction originally inspired by Teen Wolf (or originally used in Teen Wolf, I guess). There is an explanation of the whole omega verse thing in the beginning, but it wouldn't even have been necessary for most of the story to work. I find it really fascinating to see how a Western fandom influenced Japanese BL in this way though (initially also through fanfiction).

No soy nada fan del omegaverse, pero este es uno de los pocos mangas que recomiendo dentro del género, desborda feelings por los 4 costados. ¡Precioso!

So this was kinde cute but also a little boring therefor most only skipped through the other volums.

Leí este tomo luego de haber visto el anime (2025) y leer los tomos 4 y 5 que lo continúan. Decidí leerlo por curiosidad, para ver si había diferencias con el anime, encontrando que las escenas sexuales del manga (que están en formato ecchi) no se animaron. Este tomo de manga incluye extras que no están en el anime, aunque no son relevantes en la historia. En conclusión, me gustó más el anime, pero las variaciones son mínimas.
Es difícil calificar este tomo sin tener en cuenta haber visto el anime. Creo que tiene a favor el ser diferente de la mayoría de otras historias omegaverse donde se cuenta como surge o se consolida la pareja, siendo que acá arranca directamente con la familia ya conformada (los personajes casados y con un hijo). Por tanto resulta original y refrescante, y por más que se abordan problemáticas especificas del omegaverse no cae en los tropos más comunes.

Mmmm... no me gustó. Voy a ver el anime igual porque le tengo ganas pero lo voy a arrancar con expectativas muy bajas, porque si es igual al manga entonces no creo que me guste mucho :(

2 de 5 estrellas.

(... Curious about how their relationship started, we now know they met in college...I need moreeeeeeee)

Damn!!! This manga is good!!! I need to rate it now, I can't wait anymore, the main couple is just too beautiful and I love them. Finally a real Alpha and an Happy Omega, something rare to find in omegaverses. <33333333333333333


Ps: I need A Tomoyasu(Hiromu) and Yuuki story!!!!!!!!!

I read this online because, at the time of my reading, there was no official English translation, and the story seemed to adorable too pass up! I think it is being released in English soon, so if you're on the fence about reading it, that might help you make up your mind!

When I first read this series, I chose it because I wanted to read more omegaverse stories that also built upon and improved the tropes of the genre. If you're not familiar with omegaverse, you might want to read up a bit before you begin. This particular story is one of my favorites within the genre because it is uplifting and lighthearted, more of a slice-of-life story, not really getting into the darker, more possessive, aspects of the genre.

The main story of all 4 volumes follows married alpha-omega couple Hiromu and Misaki after they move to a new neighborhood. They have a young son, Hikari, and begin to build a new life after some issues with their old home and the way they were treated. I really enjoyed this series. It was, at times, a little long and a little too home-focused (not a lot of conflict), but the change of pace was nice. I honestly didn't realize I was reading 4 volumes when I was reading it, so that might have made me think it felt longer and more drawn out than it actually was.

The art style is really great, and the children in the series are absolutely adorable. The relationships shown are also very healthy, which can be a rarity. If you like the first book and want to follow up with this sweet family, I don't think it would be a waste of your time!

Това, омегавърса, продължава да е едно от най-объркващите и сложни работи за мен. Съжалявам, опитвам се да схвана този свят, ама явно не е за мен :D Иначе похвално дълго обяснение има в началото... С картинки. Пак съм като "Ъъ..."
Иначе артът е много симпатичен. Очаквано, анимето си е цензурирано повече, отколкото мангата, макар че и тя е. Предполагам, че е заради такива като мен. Главната идея по-скоро е семейната идилия, така че пак предлага нещо поне някак близко.

The anime adaptation was really cute so I decided to read the original manga. Hi-kun is soooo adorable, just a cute little bundle of joy (and I'm normally not that fond of kids), and the whole vibe is just so wholesome.

Qué cosa más cute y preciosa. Hikari es una cosita preciosa🥺

if i have hikari as my kid, i would want a family too :( the fujiyoshis are so precious to me.

[Drfoolish · Rating 5 out of 5]

Incredibly romantic, sweet and lighthearted BL story about a young family. It's omegaverse, but I think it's done quite tastefully - and, let's be real, anything that brings forth such an adorable toddler has to be a good thing, right? ;D <3

I think I'll revisit this manga many times in the coming years :D

Between the literal baby talk and awful translation, it was a genuine struggle to read.

[Ilsa༄⸼۪❀ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adorable, fluffy, sweet 😭💖 protect this family at all costs

[Hilary Fudge · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found out about this series very shortly before the anime started, so I knew a tiny bit going in. I knew it was omegaverse, but this was my first time reading anything like that. I appreciated the information at the beginning of the book - because it explained it in a much "less scary" way than just trying to google what omegaverse is.

The actual series has been really cute so far - the couple does struggle with some discrimination, but most of the people in their lives are very accepting. Their relationship seems very healthy and not toxic at all and they truly make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. The baby is adorable as well. The omegaverse details are sprinkled through, and explained but not overly shoved in your face. If this isn't your first one you probably understand it more. In my opinion, this is actually done much better in the manga than the anime if you have started watching it. (ie the mark on his neck and the pills)

If you are new to omegaverse and are looking for a way to ease into it - this is probably a good place to start, however I don't have anything to compare it to so I'm just speaking from a personal level. I think this is a series you could enjoy even if you don't like omegaverse material, it's just that cute of a story.

Tadaima Okaeri est un de mes mangas romance/tranche de vie préférés. C'est vraiment un titre tout doux qui met en scène une famille homoparentale dans un univers Omégaverse (société divisée en caste Alpha/Beta/Oméga plutôt que Hommes/Femmes).
J'aime beaucoup la représentation de la famille apportée par cette oeuvre, elle montre des injustices et des discriminations qui peuvent être transposées dans notre monde et en même temps, cet univers normalise les relations homosexuelles (car dans ce monde-là, ce n'est pas le genre de la personne qui compte mais sa caste). Ce tome pose les bases scénaristiques de la série, le rythme de narration et nous permet de rencontrer tout le casting principal.
Les personnages d'ailleurs, sont super attachants et on a juste envie de continuer à suivre leur évolution et voir ce qu'ils vont devenir.

Je vais cette réview à l'occasion d'une relecture, alors que le 4ème volume est paru en France et que j'ai déjà lu les 3 premiers plusieurs fois.

[R. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I recently found the first 2 episodes of the anime of this series and was hoping the manga might give me a better idea with more character depth and story details to see if it was something I wanted to try and keep up with the releases or not. Hirumi and Masaki are still sweet together, but it seems like Masaki has a bit of a troubled past mostly due to issues with his secondary gender as an omega. Hirumi on the other hand is very protective of his family, especially of Masaki, following his treatment back in their old hometown where they met and at the hands of his own father. It's rather tense when Jiji shows up at their new house, but Hikari sets things straight in about the most adorable way possible for a child. If anything, the two seem to be moving rather quickly with Hinata's addition to the family, though there must be a fairly significant time gap in the chapters given what little is shown of the sequence of events and when the announcement is made.

[Nix Buttons · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a world where there are three types of humans - alphas, betas and omegas - and the two genders male and female. All in all there are four different sexes, because the male humans have sex organs. And every human, regardless of race and gender, can become pregnant and imporegnate. therefore intersex marriage is quite normal. However, there is quite some racism, it is still a standard to marry in your race, so alphas marry alphas etc.
Our pair is an alpha and an omega male couple who have a cute son. There isn't much drama and it is at the core just a sweet story about a growing family.

[Mahima Singh · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delightfully wholesome story about a same-sex couple and their daily lives as they raise their children. It is set in the omegaverse which means one of the men in the couple actually gave birth to the children. But that is so seamlessly interwoven in the story that you will never find it logically interfering with the plot.

This one really had me thinking about family and bursting with love. The children are so pure and almost always the solution to every conflict in the story. I also appreciate how open everyone is about their feelings in this story. We can definitely learn a thing or two from this one about acceptance, the meaning of togetherness and ultimately the love of a family.

Tadaima Okaeri fills a bit of the whole in the heart of any lonely soul.

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I guess this was removed from all of the platforms it was on so I was only able to read the first volume. This was cute. It was mostly just happy, wholesome, family content. Then towards the end a small conflict arose that opened it up for a second book. When I started it I was a little confused on what the plot was lol. Since the couple was already together and there didn't seem to be any issues. I thought it was just going to be episodic day in the life of this family type things. Now it makes sense why it's 5 volumes, but since it's not available anywhere I can't continue and I don't like it enough to buy the physical copies and attempt to google translate them lol.

Pas trop de surprise pour moi avec ce premier tome comme j’ai commencé l’anime, mais j’aime trop cette famille 🤭
En tout cas petit point positif c’est les explication sur ce qu’est l’omegaverse et ce qui le constitue, pour les personnes qui ne connaissent pas du tout c’est super et au moins on sait dans quoi on se lance on va dire
Hikari est absolument adorable c’est un enfant plein de vie et très vif ! Masaki et Hiromu sont vraiment l’exemple parfait d’un couple lambda qui doit faire face aux préjugés de son entourage et d’autres personnes mais qui tient envers et contre tout, j’ai hâte de voir ce que l’avenir leur réserve à eux et leur entourage proche

[Yani · Rating 3 out of 5]

El manga es muy dulce y tranquilo sobre las vida después del nacimiento del hijo de la pareja.

Al principio estaba confundida porque normalmente el bebé esta al final de la historia, una vez la pareja pasa por problemas... ya saben, lo normal.

Pero no fue malo, el manga me gusto y Hikari fue super lindo. Los pequeños flashbacks del pasado de la pareja te hacen dar ganas de leer un manga de ellos sobre como se conocieron y terminaron casados. De verdad me hubiera gustado.

[Rin Wu · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sweet, calming story about a family and the beloved friends that help them out with day-to-day dramas that occur, along with some struggles over identity, growing up, and how often one should say ‘I love you’. Nice when you get little titbits of world-building sprinkled in through background characters and general culture. No serious drama or much plot, but perfect for some escapism into the life of a happy family.

[Loveliest Evaris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Legitimately one of the CUTEST things I've ever read in my life. It's so precious. Soooo precious. One of the things this manga offers that 99% of yaoi don't is that this is 100% about family and paternal care. There is maybe one or two very brief instances that allude to sex, but it's not explicit or inappropriate by any means. Really, the manga is about the two perfect little angels the two male leads have as their children. It honestly made me tear up a bit at just how adorable Hikari is.

When I picked up this manga, I didn't expect this kind of story at all. I mean, usually, Omegaverse story is full of lustful and intense themes. But this manga is different. It's totally soft and heartwarming, with a little hint of bittersweet feeling lingering in it. This is the first time I've read a relationship of a family with normal everyday life as the main theme in Omegaverse. And I totally love how the story turned out.

Such a breath of fresh air! 🌬
A good read indeed! 💎✨

((p.s. : i think i have a weakness towards cute little children in a manga. damn.))

[Sammie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'd give this a four if the story wasn't so disjointed. There is a central plot but it's often cut up into scenes set at varying times rather than one continuous flow. If you're the type that likes this style, definitely read this. But even if you're not, it's still a peaceful and satisfying read. The main couple is a fairy tale, romantics will definitely want to consume. Extra points go to their cute kid.
