Love Is an Illusion! by Fargo

 

The hit Boys' Love omegaverse webtoon from Lezhin is now in print! In this Mature-rated romcom, a man who thinks he's an Alpha finds out that he isn't...when he gets up close and personal with an Alpha who sees through him.

Hye-sung spent his entire life believing he was an alpha, the jackpot of the genetic lottery. His world is flipped upside down when he learns that he isn’t a dominating alpha, but a submissive omega instead! His frustration redlines whenever he crosses paths with the handsome Dojin, a true alpha. Supposedly, Dojin can’t stand omegas, but sparks fly when he butts heads with Hye-sung, and their explosive arguments set off an unexpectedly spicy relationship. Is their sizzling chemistry truly just pheromones?!

Take a step into the omegaverse with this fiery Boys’ Love manhwa webtoon! This global digital hit is coming to print at last in deluxe English-language paperbacks, featuring the black-and-white comic with beautiful color inserts.

I think Love is an Illusion was the first manhwa Omegaverse I have read. Probably the only complaint I can find is that is mostly black and white with sometime switching to color, strange enough almost always when there is sex. But the story is one of the thrope I love, the public figure main character who has to deal with a relationship with an ordinary man. Here there is also the added thrope of Dojin being from a wealthy conglomerate family, which gave space to some quite nice side stories. Hye-sung is such a doll, he doesn't even realize it. And Dojin is this brooding young man, who could have been the usual spoiled brat, and instead is actually a really nice guy, who never once falthered in his love for Hye-sung, not even when Hye-sung himself did everything in the wrong way. And shall we talk about Byul? from when he appears on the scene, he stole the first prize as cutest thing on the screen. I think I would really like to see an anime adaption of this one.

Love Is an Illusion! The Queen by Fargo

 

This Mature-rated sequel/spin-off to the hit Boys’ Love omegaverse webtoon from Lezhin follows Park Dojin’s older sister, alpha Do-gyeom, on her quest to find true love!

Free-spirited Alpha Do-gyeom has finally decided to put her promiscuous past behind her and settle down. As a 39-year-old woman, however, her options for marriage partners have dwindled. Luckily she has her beleaguered Omega secretary, Seung-ah, to do most of the work of finding a suitable match for her. It shouldn’t be a problem, even if Seung-ah and Do-gyeom have harbored secret feelings for each other for years. In fact, arranging Do-gyeom’s marriage may just be the catalyst for the two of them to finally admit their attraction…unless another Alpha gets in the way!
