Otomen


Story & Art by: Aya Kanno
Publisher: Shoujo Beat
Rating: Teen (13+)
Synopsis: Asuka Masamune is a guy who loves girly things (autocorrect, why did you write Gorky?)- sewing, knitting, making cute stuffed animals and reading shoujo comics. But in a world where boys are expected to act manly, Asuka must hide his beloved hobbies and play the masculine jock instead. Can Asuka ever show his true self to anyone, much less to Ryo Miyakozuka, the girl he's falling for?


Art Review: 5/5


Kanno's style is simple and clean. Her style includes cute faces, and perfect line art~ It added to the overall cuteness of this manga, but still makes the manly characters look manly.


Story Review: This manga is so priceless and adorable. Asuka is prolly the most adorable guy on the planet, and if there's anything cuter, I will explode. Asuka's determination, naviete, and honesty makes this manga so heartwarming. The fact that Ryo and Asuka are opposites is soo cute and you just want to keep cheering them on. I also love the fact that Juta bases his manga off of Ryo and Asuka, but they are totally oblivious to this. However, I do find it tedious that every single guy who is supposed to be majorly manly turns out to be an otomen, and all the characters that are supposed to be feminine are freakin' scary. Gets a bit tedious at times, then again, that's just me. Overall, I loved this manga, it was super cute. If you love shoujo, if you haven't already, go read this manga n.n


9/10
