The war destroyed the land of Hanu. Ilia, Omega’s husband of King Khalid, flees to a safe shelter after hearing rumors that Khalid’s death and that Khalid’s brother Zayn will take the throne. Eight years have passed since Ilia devoted herself to protecting the people of Hanu.

Their reunion feels sweet and brings a sense of security as both Ilia and Khalid suffer from a tragic separation over the years. Meanwhile, Khalid grew from a boy to a man. The disparity between them must be enormous, not just because they have been separated for many years, but because of their respective roles, the love between them must be quietly endured. However, they cannot truly be together until King Zayn abdicates, Khalid regains his throne and peace is restored to the Han.
Omega Palace reads like a fairy tale. The villain is a villain with the capital “V”. There are cute animal companions (tigers!), loyal servants, united people gather behind their true king, betrayal, separation, reunion, true love, and of course happy after people. Omega Palace checks all the boxes for fairy tale romance. But even with these familiar elements it still feels unique and satisfying.
Volume 1 moves at an active pace, and its momentum continues in Volume 2. The story provides enough context to keep things moving, and sometimes the questions remain unanswered. Some readers may prefer a more fulfilling, more detailed story, but like many fairy tales, Omega Palace invites readers to fill in the blank. Personally, I didn’t care about not knowing everything. Because the comics focus on the most important thing: the characters and their journey.
The romance is incredibly sweet. Pin it! Honesty! I’m waiting! Khalid clearly loved Ilia from the beginning, but Ilia slowly realized how deeply he loved Khalid. Their emotional reunion and unwavering dedication shine when they find the moment they finally breathe.

Khalid and Ilia pull away most of the story, and Kahlid is still a boy among some of them, so this series doesn’t have much spice until the long-awaited coupling in volume 2. (Fair warning: The scenes are uncensored, but are portrayed with kindness.) The overall romance is based on compassion, and it is easy for these two to find their happiness.
If there is anything to criticize beyond a few unanswered questions, it is how neatly the military conflict and Khalid’s obvious release is unfolding. There is not much resistance or complications. The conflict is resolved quickly, and the story misses the opportunity to dig deeper. Still, Omega’s Palace is a love story rather than a war epic, and I understand why Mangaka, in my opinion, chose to maintain the focus it belongs to.
The art continues to be gorgeous, with beautiful Bichonne men, ornate costumes and a rich background. The story is eager to attract you, endure the affection of Ilia and Khalid, and longing for the Kingdom of Hanu to find peace. A sure example of fairytale romance, Omega Palace brings a satisfying taste of the Omegaverse in its rich fantasy environment.
Palace of the Omega Volumes 1 and 2 are currently available in digital and printed formats of BL imprints from Sublime, Viz Media and available for purchase in a variety of online and physical bookstores.
