Otomen, Vol. 1

I loved it! It's a great read and totally out of the norm love story.

It came a little later than expected, but that was cool. It is in great condition and I love this manga.It's one that approaches subjects rarely broached in our culture in entertainment, and even rarely in Japan which is also a fairly Gender-Role-Bound society:What if a Guy likes cute, and/or girly things? Whats wrong with that?Is he less of a man?Our protoganist is actually a champ at martial arts (degrees in Judo and National Champion at Kendo), good in school, and the ladies love him, but he's got a secret: He likes cooking, sewing, and cute and/or girly things. But he's held this secret most of his life...until now.

Light and sweet series that manages to touch on some very interesting concepts of gender identity, conformity, and society. I like it because it breaks with a lot of shojo traditions while subtly mocking them, yet still maintains the shojo form. And it's pretty funny, for the most part, although the character's/plots can be a bit over the top.

I had the books years ago. Now I have them in digital format so I can reread them anywhere. Love that my entire library is in kindle.

It grabbed my attention and took me on a ride through a story about a boy who is conflicted on his personal decision and of course love. The girl is not what you think so read for yourself.

Surprisingly fun series. Pits pre-conceived notions of gender roles against all-too-often reality. The humor is kind to all sides of the argument. The theme of "you DON'T have to be Mr. Macho to be a REAL man" is well-delivered. The "sissy" covers are only teasers.

Great series, stretched out at times the storyline to perlong the series but still great

Kind of roughed up.

This was my first manga and it was really great. Reading from back to front was fun too .The story was so sweet - about a feminine guy and how to get his girl. Also a twist in the tale It was heartwarming and I wanted to read on and on.

👌🏼

Increíble historia, un shojo muy diferente! el arte de Aya Kanno es precioso y uno de mis favoritos. Sobre la edición, me encanto la portada es mate y me llego en excelentes condiciones.

The spine was damaged even though I bought it new...
