Plot
Hiromu and Masaki Fujiyoshi, a married same-sex couple and university graduates, start a family when Masaki becomes pregnant and gives birth to their son, Hikari. The narrative takes place in a society segmented into Alphas (dominant individuals capable of impregnating Omegas), Omegas (who can bear children), and Betas (neutral). The couple encounters discrimination, including estrangement from Hiromu’s relatives.
Significant societal prejudice affects Alphas and Omegas, particularly in relationships crossing these categories. After facing harassment, they move to a city with greater acceptance. Subsequently, they welcome a daughter named Hinata. Despite persistent bias, the Fujiyoshis find encouragement from friends, neighbors, and coworkers, creating a supportive atmosphere for their family.
