Oh wow, this volume of Otomen was great! I really loved how it was all set up and I have to say that I respect Asuka ten times more now because of the decision he made about his future. Juta was so funny and I liked how the three of them (Asuka, Juta and Ryo) changed the creepy building into their own little private space. I wish I could do that with some friends of mine, but alas, I don't have any that are close enough to me for that. The Christmas part I felt was great, even if Aya Kanno didn't think she got it as she wanted it! I loved the snowstorm and how Ryo showed up as Asuka's angel... I just want the two of them to get together already, especially after the events of this volume! I find myself really disliking Asuka's mother; there's nothing wrong with boys having girly hobbies or wanting to be girls - it's just normal! Asuka is perfectly manly and not manly and I feel she should just be happy with him being who he is. I hope she'll change later. I also really didn't like the Posh family which Asuka was betrothed to the daughter of; the girl was really spoilt and the fact that she was willing to reveal Asuka just to get her own way; she's disgusting! Definitely the big antagonists.Five out of five, easy! But I have nowhere to get volume three from ;___; More of a 3.5 star book, and I couldn't quite bring myself to bump it up to 4.What I liked most about the first volume (Asuka himself, and the message that you shouldn't hold yourself to stereotypes) are still here. But Ryo was a less active participant this time, and the storyline with Asuka's mother trying to marry him off was a little too cliche for me to enjoy, and his mother was herself too manipulative and creepy.
What do You think about Otomen, Vol. 2 (2009)?
I liked this one better than the first volume. It's a cute read that leaves you craving more!
