Omegaverse BL - Japan (Part 1)

[This is a summary of these posts 1 , 2. Corrections and critiques are welcome.]

mibu no tsugai

Omegaverse, which was born in 2015, has become a large [BL sub-]genre with over 1000 works as of 2023.

Omegaverse basics

α/β/Ω settings – a setting wherein beings [usually humans] are divided primarily into male and female and secondarily into α, β, and Ω genders which has huge impacts on their lives. Secondary gender is determined through blood tests taken at school during childhood or adolescence. [While this is the basic premise, there is only one rule – every rule is to be bend and broken.]

α (Alpha) – occupies the highest echelon of this fictional setting. Comprised of talented elites. Male alphas [depending on the work may] have knot at the base of their penis.

β (Beta) – Ordinary. Largest in number. Doesn’t experience heats, release pheromones or have knot. Usually born of β parents.

Ω (Omega) - experience heats, release pheromones that seduces alpha and beta automatically. Both men and women can become pregnant during the heat cycle. Occupies lowest strata of society - below α or β.

Roots

Born in the west – from furry moe culuture that incorporated a now discarded theory of ranking in wolf packs.

Became popular in Japan around 2014. First appeared in derivative works, then in self-published works and finally in commercial BL.

commercial BL debut

“Omegaverse Project” published in March 2015 by Fusion Productions - a BL anthology specializing in Omegaverse.

terminology

pair – A setting-specific bonding established when α bites Ω's nape during coitus during omega’s heat period. Henceforth, paired Ω’s pheromones can only be smelt by his α. Usually lasting till death but if an α unilateral breaks it off, Ω’s health and life itself could be threatened. Sometime, Ω covers their nape with a choker to avoid unintentional pair. In some works, forming pair bond is viewed as destiny and in some others destined pairs exist.

heat - begins in the late teens. Roughly once every few months. Involves strong pheromones secretion and intense lust and desire to breed with heightened fertility almost guaranteeing pregnancy if contraceptives aren’t used. Fated encounters such as those of destined pairs can trigger heat.

heat suppressant – drugs to suppress heat/heat cycles. Some works involves inhibitors that offer complete or partial immunity for alphas from getting pulled into whirlpool of lust. There are individual differences when it comes to compatibility of drugs, and strong side effects may occur.

rut – (sometimes extreme) heats of α. Could be triggered by Ω pheromones and heat. Could be characterized by additional features such as aggression, heightened physical abilities and protectiveness especially towards Ω.

nesting - The act of unconsciously bringing the personal belongings of someone or someone you like into your bed to create your own nest.

bitching - gender change to Ω. Could be triggered by (prolonged) exposure to α pheromones, etc. Converting to α = studding; Converting to β = neutraling.

α or β→Ω: Bitching ビッチング

Ω or β→α: Studding スタディング

α or Ω→β: Neutering ニュータリング

Everything associated with omegaverse vary from work to work.

Looking at popular works and what made them popular

Commercial BL manga - works listed in chil-chil.net

Commercial BL novel - works listed in chil-chil.net

2015 Dawn of the Commercial BL Omegaverse

Omegaverse Project – omegaverse as niche [sub-]genre. Therefore, what got published was also content did not conform to the mainstream:

 Romantic Joutou by Moriyo - β×Ω pairing

Sayonara Koibito, Mata Kite Tomodachi by Yoha – disturbing content including a violent r4pe.

Paradigm Shift by Pii - β becomes Ω

Content catering towards a niche audience.

The popularity of these three works mark a big turning point for omegaverse which from the onset was willing to go beyond the framework.

2016 Birth of popular series, popularization of Omegaverse

Kashikomarimashita, Destiny by Sachimo

Another masterpiece that not only soared to popularity but also became gateway for may new fans. Characteristics – setting akin to medieval Europe, α×β, fighting fate and instinct.

Tadaima Okaeri by Ichikawa Ichi

A slice of life BL that tipped its toe into severe social circumstances such as familiar disapproval surrounding marriage and discrimination based on secondary gender which probably struck too close to home for some reader’s comfort. In the same vein, Kurui Naku no wa Boku no Ban by Kusabi Keri depicted omega sacrificing his body for the sake of promotion. Another popular manga that catered to niche interest was Pendulum: Kemonohito Omegaverse by Hasumi Hana.

2017 the Year of KUSEGATSUYOI!

(クセが強い = unique)

The three highest rated works from this year are unique and pushes a bunch of boundaries.

Sayonara Alpha by Ichinashi Kimi – shota α in a fated mates/destined pair narrative

 Ai to Makoto by Moriyo – α・Ω×Ω 3P with twins (α & Ω). Moreover, Ω twin is riba.

Shounen no Kyoukai by Akabeko – looks like odo but is far from it.

Omegaverse seem to make a lot of unsual plotlines palatable – at least better than regular settings.

2018 Light-hearted comedic works trend

2018 witnessed a 180 degree turn in terms of what got really famous. It was a year of lighter works. Even the covers are lighter.

Kekkon Shite Kudasai! by Tsurugi Ichiro – unique Ω

Megumi to Tsugumi by SI Mitsuru

Both of them are comedies that would appeal even to those who are not necessarily into omegaverse.

Okusama wa Alpha by Natsushita Fuyu - α×α romantic comedy involving α uke struggling with gender roles while seeking professional help along with his husband and α pregnancy.

Gender doesn’t matter, what matters is you!

Omegaverse is finally a popular BL sub-genre.

2019 Finally! A Odo Work is the most popular

[I too am frankly surprised by how long it took for an odo omegaverse to become the most popular.] This is probably due to the expansion in readership base – as it is no longer a niche interest, expanded readership is probably most comfortable with works that are easy-to-understand odo omegaverse.

Kiraide Isasete by Hijiki

Anti Alpha by Okuda Waku

Both these works featured odo

Yukyu Omega by Fujimine Shiki – broke away from the popular imagination of a pitable Ω

2020 Speedy & Business Relationships

Meppou Yatara to Yowaki ni Kiss by Koshino – destined pair but not the type they are into

Unmei no Tsugai ga Omae da Nante by Haruta – mate finding service, a reflection of IRL dating apps

Maku ga Oritara Bokura wa Tsugai by Zarame Same

Are you really into me or just my body?

2021 Omegaverse as a habit of living things

Kamisama Nanka Shinjinai Bokura no Eden by Ichinose Yuma – depicts [what-if] first α and Ω characters ever.

Gochisou Ω wa Chuu to Naku by Hanasawa Namio – funny and heartwarming depiction of apex predator behavior paired with beastman omegaverse

2022 Omegaverse + A New World View

While in 2021 works that viewed α, Ω, and β as from a new perspective became popular, 2022 saw popularity moving to works with unique worldviews.

Ruby Red wo Kamikudaku by Saku Hiro – Ω can see pheromones.

Aijitsu to Hanayome by Nagisa Ayumu – sweet romance between God α x villager Ω in the backdrop of a setting wherein Ω are offered as sacrifice to God due to their lust-inducing nature.

Kono Te wo Hanasanai de by Sakimoto Saki – α×Ω odo omegaverse that depicts the burden associated with each [secondary] gender.

Omegaverse BL works that are popular range from those with classic progession (odo; royal road) to those with unique worldviews. This sub-genre with a premise rife with rigid class system and reinforced discriminations has become a sanctuary for narratives that emphasizes looking beyond gender.

Well, now that she’s got the majority of the human village scrambling towards the Hakurei Shrine to donate, she can only hope her shrine maiden will be fine dealing with such a massive crowd…

Hehehe…she really deserves some praise for being so helpful, she thinks…

“ Bored, again. “

She’ll do the whole ‘wish granting to seven random winners’, tonight. For now, she’s gonna go see what the other major locations look like… Maybe that Moriyo shrine? Or what was it called… Mariya? Mario? Morton?

The cold blade pressed against his cheek, the small child quivering as the chants grew louder. The priest stood before him with an arrogant smile opening a thick leather bond book, ignoring the pleas of the young child

"Let's begin....." The child looked around frantically, as he was pushed closer to the blue Flames of the portal, feeling helpless as the ritual continued

"We bring the', the God of salvation, who we are his eyes, a gift of our gratitude. The blood of a healthy lord to be, to stain the ground with your every reaching vines, to concor the non believers...... to lift us the the heaven's to feel your warm glow..... talaycha..... moriyo kineach lormor...."

"moriyo kineach lormor! moriyo kineach lormor!" The crowd cried out, throwing their hands up in triumph.but the more he tugged, the more pressure the knife was held.

The priest bent down, his face centimeters from the boy, reaking of blood and rotten apples. "Your time has come. You will be remembered for your sacrifice, as the many before you have." He straighten up, flicking his hand idly to the portal. "Proceed."

The boy was dragging screaming and crying to the portal, the candles flickering around them in an exited mood. Forced to kneel down, the boy could only stare at the stone floor, noticing the cracks in which him blood seeped into. The priest turned his attention back to the ominous portal, chanting ancient prayers as it lit up in a blue flame. The chanting gre louder, And LoUder, AND LOUDER-

Screams. Oh my gods the screams. The feeling of the skulk slithering into his blood, skin peeling off as it over took his body. The boy skull throbbed, feeling the skulk break holes at the sides, desperate for something - anything to cling on.

--------------------------------------------

He woke up hours after, a throbbing pain shooting across his body. He gingerly dragged himself up, tearing off the layer of skulk on his body, Turing around to see a horrifying sight.

The bodys layed hazardously toss around, bending in shapes that should not be possible for human bodys. Skulk veins incased the entire floor, covering the bodys underneath. The portal was lit- yet it refused to work.

As he slowly adjusted to the settings, he took a few steps to steady himself, stepping on something crunchy.

Squelched.

Bloody.

Soulless eyes and a leather book.

The amount of times the boy hurled, dragging himself out of the temple he couldn't count. Every step made a noise, his eyes going dark from the pain, exhaustion, and stress as he tumbled out into the open air. The floor seemed unleveled, as the temple and the buildings around sunk slowly into the skulk, being swallowed whole.

--------------------------------------------------

Aarion slept with the stars that night, curled around a pathetic excuse for a campfire as he waited for day to break.

The dark suddenly seemed less friendly than he had thought.

Growth of omegaverse in commercial BL

As with most things in Japanese BL, omegaverse first boomed in doujin works around 2014-15 period and then spread to commercial works. 2015-16 was a pivotal year for child-rearing and omegaverse BL with the publication of Welcome Home (ただいま、おかえり Tadaima, Okaeri byIchikawa Ichi.

It has been serialized in Fusion Product's Omegaverse Project anthology magazine since November 2015 and has been collected in four tankōbon volumes [first volume was published in 2016]. The series is published in English by Manga Club. An anime television series adaptation produced by Studio Deen is set to premiere in April 2024. (source: wikipedia)

In 2022, by May, 80 works had been published. Previous year, there was a dip in number of new omegaverse works published after rapid increase since 2019. In 2020, 8 times more works were published with omegaverse setting compared to when it debuted.

How does this compare to the total number of BL publications?

The proportion of omegaverse continues to be small compared to the total. In 2020, there were 160 omegaverse works out of nearly 3500 BL works. One out of every 20 BL works belongs to omegaverse. This is fairly significant for a single setting / sub-genre.

Year-wise trends and corresponding popular pairings

[Total number of works only indicate how many iterations of that pairing showed up in the market, it doesn’t indicate how well they did commercially or popularity-wise. Popularity is discussed below.]

2015 – Diversification Era

α×Ω 9

β×Ω 3

α×α 1

Other×Ω 1

2015 was the year when omegaverse works began to appear in the commercial BL market, emerging out of doujin BL boom. While α×Ω pairing was obviously the first kind of pairing to become popular, β×Ω pairing wasn’t too far behind.

Omegaverse is not limited to α×Ω pairing alone. The wide range of possibilities omegaverse offered was explored early on. It can be said that the [pairing] diversity is one of the reasons for its explosive popularity.

There seems to be high affinity between BL and omegaverse, as both share unique worldviews and settings while being highly versatile, ranging from fantasy to modern day works.

It was the period when omegaverse was being tested as a setting based off on how far narratives can go without breaking the premise that Ω is the uke and α is the seme.

Overall tendency was to highlight the discrimination against Ω and the preferential treatment towards α in an easy-to-understand manner. Omegaverse as a setting was in its infancy. It was probably thought that exaggeration [of key characteristics] would popularize omegaverse.

Notable works:

Romantic Joutou

sayonara koibito matakite tomodachi

2016 – Early Odo Reversal Era

α×Ω 13

α×β 2

Ω×α 1

β×Ω 2

β×α 2

α×α 1

Ω×Ω 1

Most highly rated work of that year kashikomarimashita destiny - Devotion to death is an α×β work. Seemingly, breaking the rules can be considered a standard practice in the omegaverse BL.

As omegaverse become more popular, many a masterpiece such as Kuruinakunowa Boku No Ban and Tadaima Okaeri were created.

Compared to previous year, 2016 was witness to many epoch-making works such as Pendulum - Beastman Omegaverse, which married beastman setting with omegaverse setting.

Another notable work is Boku No High Spec Kareshisama that had a path-breaking Ω seme. It also had a β×α side pairing.

The works published in 2016 pretty much covered every possible combination in the Omegaverse.

2017 - Serious Works Era

α×Ω 17

α×α 1

Ω×Ω 1

α×β 1

β×Ω 3

Ω×α 1

In 2017, the omegaverse became even more popular than in 2016.

Continuing from the previous year, omegaverse kept exploring various possibilities. It was in 2017 that omegaverse established itself as a new genre that goes beyond the framework of special settings.

The first volume of Akabeko's Shonen no Kyoukai series, published that year, brought omegaverse close to the real world. It was around that time the setting of [secondary] gender tests being conducted at schools, which later became commonplace, first appeared. Consequently, compared to the previous years, more realistic and serious works were produced.

It’s no longer about “poor Ω and alpha who has it all”! The number of characters that went beyond typical omegaverse attributes increased, and genders combinations also diversified.

There was no set standard marking this period. The foundation laid in the years before finally paid off and the sub-genre flourished and spread.

2018 Omegaverse Boom Period

α×Ω 20

α×α 1

β×Ω 1

Other×α 1

α×Other 1

In 2018, the number of Omegaverse works has increased explosively! Total number of omegaverse BL works produced that year was more double that of previous year. A variety of settings and fetishes emerged due to an overwhelming increase in the number of artists.

While α×Ω continues to enjoy steady popularity Megumi To Tsugumi at the top, other types of pairing were also increasingly well received due to the appeal of particular works.

The aforementioned Megumi to Tsugumi and Omae No Koi Wa Ore No Mono had Ω who did not conform to the ‘cute and protected’ image instead were bigger and badder than your average α.

Omae No Koi Wa Ore No Mono

The number of works that had gap between gender attributes and individual characteristics increased. Settings also diversified. The buds of the previous year have bloomed, including beastmen, threesomes, and inc3st!

Around this time, works published the previous year or earlier got sequels and CD dramas. It also became a trend to have spin-offs of α x Ω works to have other pairings...

2019 Back-to-roots Era

α × Ω 23

Ω×Ω 1

β×Ω 2

α×α 3

α×β 1

The total number of omegaverse works in 2019 surpassed previous year count by nearly 80 books. In addition to the continuation of popular works from the previous year, it was no longer unusual to see α×α pairing or β-seme.

Marriage themed work Yukyu Omega was published.

The first volume of the child-rearing omegaverse series Kiraide Isasete was published in 2019.

It was the year that the omegaverse wave entered a new stage, just like the lives of the characters in them. That year also saw the publication of Ousama Alpha To Puppy Love that explored the themes of child-rearing and childbirth, which were relatively untouched in other BL settings prior to the omegaverse boom.

2020 Odo Omegaverse Era

α × Ω 23

β×Ω 1

The total amount of work increased yet again in 2020. The popularity enjoyed by α×Ω pairing was stronger than ever. Many of the popular series featured α×Ω pairing too. Of course, there are some works featuring other pairings, but the omegaverse odo (royal road progression) is still strong.

Even with α×Ω pairing, the attributes that were once like a chasm between characters started to come together「圧倒的攻め×圧倒的受け」「精神的にはほぼ攻め×攻め」.

The fact that some of the most popular works from the past have continued churning out newer volumes suggests that the omegaverse genre in BL will continue to grow!

There have also been some bold stories with enigmatic developments, such as Rebirth, reasserting the endless possibilities of the omegaverse.

2021 – Meta-omegaverse Era

α × Ω 17

β×Ω 1

Ω×α 1

In the year 2021 too α×Ω pair reigns in popularity. Works with a strong storyline continued to be well-received, continuing from the previous year. Works with a strong meta element, such as Kamisamananka Shinjinai Bokua No Eden was published that year.

Boku No Tsugai Ha Thoroughbred Omega explored whether or not to disclose gender – bringing in the choice not to tell. This thought-provoking addition to omegaverse is probably a reflection of reality.

2020 also saw more works that places emphasize on different scenarios and have less explicit content than in the past. In recent years, various other verses have sprouted from omegaverse such as Dom/Sub verse.

2022

α × Ω 18

α × β 2

α×Others 1

The omegaverse has established itself as a major [sub]genre. It is expected that α × Ω pairing will continue to dominate!

Fusion with new genres is steadily progressing! The Mibu No Tsugai series is a time travel BL that combined omegaverse with historical setting (late Edo period). It is clear that the omegaverse setting has become so well-established that addition of elements and setting do not affect accessibility of the subgenre.

Other notable works:

Omega Ni Dake Ha Naritakunai – isekai into an omegaverse manga

Kuzu, Omega ni Tensei by Saitou Kuzu – isekai into omegaverse

Omegaverse is easily malleable and combines well with other sub-genres and settings.
