Hate Me, but Let Me Stay - Mr. Asanaga and Mr. Yanagi Vol. 1

The official spin-off to the wildly popular BL omegaverse series, Hate Me, but Let Me Stay! Asanaga and Yanagi are certainly more than friends, but…what does that make them exactly? See what romance blossoms in this new story!

Elementary school teachers Asanaga, an alpha, and Yanagi, an omega, are more than friends but not quite lovers. And while their relationship began with Asanaga’s fervent, one-sided pursuit, Yanagi has found himself warming to his sincere—albeit pushy—affections.

But even if he wishes he could stand on equal footing with Asanaga and reciprocate his feelings more openly, insecurity about his omega nature and traumatic past hold him back.

In spite of it all, Asanaga is determined to make Yanagi his and show him just how wonderful true love can be!
