Manga
Description
Leo Asaka is a young, ambitious alpha actor from a famous entertainment family. He is determined to escape the shadow of his successful father and make a name for himself through hard work and dedication to his craft. His serious and perfectionist nature is challenged when he lands a starring role in a new film by a world-renowned director. The offer is a dream come true until he discovers his co-star is Eito Yanagi.
Eito is also a second-generation alpha actor, but unlike the disciplined Leo, he is known for his frivolous, free-spirited lifestyle and a constant stream of scandals. Leo dislikes everything Eito represents, but their on-screen roles require them to portray fated partners. To build chemistry, the production locks the two actors in a hotel room together. During this forced proximity, Leo accidentally stumbles upon Eito's most guarded secret: the scandalous alpha actor is, in reality, an omega. This discovery shatters Leo’s perception of his rival. In the omegaverse society where the story takes place, presenting as an omega carries significant social and professional risks, especially for a rising actor whose career could be ruined if his true secondary gender is revealed.
The narrative follows Leo and Eito as they navigate their intense, professional rivalry that transforms into a deep personal connection. The initial story arc covers their antagonistic first meeting and the forced collaboration in the hotel room, where Leo uncovers Eito’s secret. A subsequent arc focuses on the production of their film, during which they must maintain the fiction that Eito is an alpha while dealing with the growing attraction between them. A major turning point involves Eito experiencing a heat, a biological event for omegas that forces a confrontation between the two actors. The climax of their personal story sees them acknowledging each other as fated partners, leading to the final arc where they build a life together as more than just co-stars, moving from rivals to lifelong partners. The manga is a single-volume work originally serialized digitally from February to December 2020, and it won first place in the Erotic category at the BL Award 2022.
