A memory of sorrowful and faint first love. <I hope I can reach it this time>, a BL cartoon I will introduce this time is a lyrical cartoon with heartrending love stories with first love. Gangbin who has warm heart but looks an impregnable man. Chae, Seo-yul who is very timid and had a big crush on him for 10 years. Two are the middle school classmates and keep their relationship of ‘push and pull I only know’ for 10 years. 

They had a great night getting to know mind each other at the college graduation party, but Chae Seo-yul who is afraid of his love and just pull Gangbin out by saying things she doesn’t mean. Chae Seo-yul raised a child alone who had born as a result of their love. 5 years later, Chae Seo-yul, who kept the yearning for Gangbin, meets Gangbin by accident at his daughter’s kindergarten. This accidental meeting becomes opening act of love story of Gangbin and Chae Seo-yul. ‘Can they can reach each other this time’ who have hurt each other and broke up? 

W.. .wait a minute! A boy is pregnant? 

For those of you who might be wondering, this cartoon is based on the view of the world called ‘Omegaverse’. In Omegaverse view of the world, the genders that can be pregnant are divided into Alpha, Omega and Beta, not men and women. Beta refers to ordinary people, Omega refers to those who can conceive and Alpha refers to those who have sperm that can make people pregnant. That is, it is the view of the world that Omega men can conceive and Alpha women can conceive. Seo-yul, a main character, was an Omega, so he was able to conceive. 

The setting is quite repulsive in that men is pregnant, but <I hope I can reach him this time> is a cartoon full of warmness rather than repulsion with lyrical paintings and poetic lines. Above all, poem of <What can I hold you with?> written by Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentine poet, is cited to represent the minds of main characters and this part was loved by BL readers. 

‘I give you the loyalty of men who has never been loyal before’

‘I present small stone of myself I’ve been really saved’

‘What can I hold you with?’

There are also a lot of parts that make heart beating of readers. Of course, this cartoon has all of elements that make heart beating. First one is agonizing crush, second one is chemistry of Gangbin and Chae Seo-yul, only felt by the readers, and the third one is very lovely parent courses. With all of attractive elements such as heartrending, fluttering and dearness, this webtoon makes even strangers who are unfamiliar with Omegaverse flutter without any repulsion. One of cute points is the appearance of Seok-ju, a cute baby of Seo-yul. Seok-ju looks just like Chae Seo-yul, but he also resembles Gangbin in his mature and friendly personality. He plays a cupid role for two main characters with shining eyes. 

<I hope I can reach him this time> is a season-based cartoon that contains love stories for each main character. If love story of two main characters ends, it leads to story about another character that appears in the season. In each season, the story develops fast without any stuffiness. As you focus on the love story of main characters, you can have sad finale. But if you read next season, such sadness will change into excitement for the new love story. Just looking for <reaching other relations this time>.
