“ABO Desire” Series Review (Ep.1 to 16)

Well this is it. History has been made. And I feel an honour being part of the first generation to watch a live action omegaverse. From the depths of fanfic websites to the big screen (well depending on where you watch it), it has been a concept many prayed to the Yaoi gods to be made into a live action while many had lost hope of it ever happening.
