REVIEW: Hate Me, But Let Me Stay (manga, vol. 1) by Hijiki, translated by Jacqueline Fung

Hate Me, But Let Me Stay is BL omegaverse manga. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

Naoto, an omega, has been afraid of alphas since a bunch of them raped him when he was in high school. He's convinced himself that he doesn't need a mate - life is hard, sure, but he's determined to protect and provide for his young daughter, Shizuku, on his own. 

Still, when his mother asks him to go to a matchmaking party, he reluctantly attends...and is approached by a waiter, Hazuki, who happens to be an alpha, and who declares Naoto to be his fated mate. Naoto leaves and figures that'll be the end of things. With the help of a kindly mated old alpha, Naoto manages to get a job as a high school janitor, only to discover that the waiter he met at the party is one of the students at the school he's working for.
