Plot

College graduates Hiromu and Masaki Fujiyoshi are a same-sex married couple, with an unbreakable bond. They are then blessed with the joys of parenthood when Masaki becomes pregnant and gives birth to their firstborn child, a healthy little boy named Hikari, thus creating the loving happy family they’ve always dreamed of.

However, they live in a society where men and women are judged based on gender status, and are divided in three different classes: the first are Alphas, people who are considered more dominant and are able to impregnate both male and female gendered individuals carrying the Omega type-gene; Omegas, who are males and females that can get pregnant and give birth to children; and Betas, who are regular humans without a secondary gender. Due to this, Hiromu’s family disowned them for a time, and refused to acknowledge their relationship and grandchildren.

For many years, both Alphas and Omegas like Hiromu and Masaki have faced the most discrimination, especially those in relationships or marriages to those of the opposite type, since it is customary for relationships to be between matching types. Two years after suffering animosity and harassment in their previous neighborhood, Masaki and Hiromu move to a new neighborhood and city that is better suited to raising children.

When Hikari turns 2 years old, Masaki and Hiromu later discover that they're expecting their second child, so Hikari will have a younger sibling to grow up with; Masaki then gives birth to a little girl named Hinata. Despite the continuing prejudice that they face, the Fujiyoshi family have many supportive friends, neighbors, and co-workers to give them the support, love, acceptance and compassion they deserve.
