Otomen

Asakura Asuka is the epitome of masculinity: a kendo master, effortlessly cool, and undeniably handsome. He’s the kind of guy every girl swoons over and every boy wants to be. But beneath this stoic, traditionally masculine exterior lies a secret passion: Asuka absolutely adores all things cute and girly. From shojo manga and sweet confections to sewing and knitting, his heart belongs to hobbies typically associated with femininity. Constantly battling to keep his true interests hidden from his peers and, more importantly, his strong-willed mother, Asuka finds his carefully constructed façade challenged when he meets the effortlessly charming and genuinely sweet Miyakozuka Ryo. Can Asuka continue to uphold his "otomen" image, or will Ryo inspire him to embrace his authentic self, frills and all?
