Masumune, Asuka 2nd year National Kendo Champion adores frilly soft things, and likes cooking and sewing. Due to a complex of his father's abandonment, and his mother's scorn he runs away from the things he loves.Early on he saves our leading lady, Ryou, and instantly falls for her. This leads him going out and buying bags of stuffed toy needlepoint kits, and a series of shojo manga. Don't miss this hysterical start.Cheers! I'm learning that anything my bff sends me and loved I am probably not going to like. This book series is more than a little creepy for me. I don't mind boys having girly hobbies, so what if he bakes and sews and likes cute things? If one guy wants a flower shop and another wants to be a makeup artist? All of those things are respectable and challenging occupation that take knowledge and educating oneself to do well. I can't do any of those things to save my life, they have mad skill.What BOTHERED me was the fact that the artist decided to make the otomen all blushy, sparkly and wide-eyed characters WHICH WAS CREEPY!!!!!
What do You think about Otomen (2000)?
It's fun. I like the play with gender roles.
