Anime News Network reviewed the first volume of An Momose's Love from the Tip of the Tongue, a boys' love manga that adapts the cakeverse variant of omegaverse. In this world, forks are people who suddenly lose their sense of taste and can smell cakes, who give off a sweet scent only forks perceive. The protagonist Tatsunari has hidden his fork nature since childhood, but his control breaks when he meets his underclassman Naruse, a cake. The review calls the premise creative but notes unresolved questions about how the metaphor maps to sex versus cannibalism. Tatsunari's internalized fear of being a predator drives the conflict, and the volume ends with the two reuniting in college. Yen Press released the volume on May 26, 2026. The manga previously received mini anime shorts on YouTube in 2023.
