Otomen #1
Otomen, Vol. 1
Asuka Masamune is a guy who loves girly things - sewing, knitting, making cute stuffed animals and reading shojo comics. But in a world where boys are expected to act manly, Asuka must hide his beloved hobbies and play the part of a masculine jock instead. Ryo Miyakozuka, on the other hand, is a girl who can't sew or bake a cake to save her life. Asuka finds himself drawn to Ryo, but she likes only the manliest of men! Can Asuka ever show his true self to anyone, much less to the girl that he's falling for?

Shoujo manga series about gender and societal expectations. Asuka Masamune is both the epitome of Japanese masculinity - captain of the kendo club, judo champion, academic star—and an "otomen.,”
The title, "Otomen" is a pun made of the Japanese word otome, meaning "young lady" or "mistress", and the English word "men".
Which is to say he likes what society sees as “girly” things: sewing, knitting, making cute stuffed animals and reading shojo comics. Which is to say he is the embodiment of stereotypical samurai warrior AND samurai wife! Which is also to say he must hide these interests. Ryo Miyakozuka, on the other hand, is a girl who can't sew or bake. Will they get together?! In the process, Azuka quietly finds other otomen to befriend.
I’m just putting my little toes into the water of this huge manga area for a class I am teaching on comics and graphic novels with kick ass girls for main characters. This doesn’t quite fit, since it features a boy, but it raises similar gender issues. This is one is meant to be hilariously funny because he is shown to be SO different, but I found him kinda charming and the series opener interesting, though not very deep. I also related to it on a personal level. I mean: When I was growing up I liked to bake and write poetry and act in plays and read shoujo manga. . . and played sports.

I'm torn between the contradictory frustrations of how dated these stereotypes are AND how they persist.
I liked the characters but the story is a little thin. I kind of want Asuka and Ryo to go AWOL and find a more kick-ass manga to star in. One where they beat up bullies and also give the victims home makeovers or something.

Having recently finished reading Ouran High Host Club, I was in the mood for something else shamelessly silly and fun - Otomen was the perfect find! Asuka is seemingly the epitome of Japanese masculinity - captain of the kendo club and a judo champion as well as having a stellar academic record - however, he hides his true "otomen" nature from the world. In reality, Asuka loves romantic and cute things, home-making duties and shoujo manga! Asuka is forced to hide his true nature as his mother's health may suffer if she discovers the truth. Throughout the series Asuka is joined by other "otomen" and endeavours to court the girl of his (romantic) dreams who, like Asuka, breaks the stereotype of the ideal Japanese girl.
If you want a barrel of laughs, pick up this fantastic series. Although this series is mainly a light-hearted and fun story, it also manages to slip in a few meaningful thoughts about gender roles and social expectations.

Updated Review 4/28/24: Absolutely adored this volume just as much as the first time! Still SUPER upset about the mother and how she has put this kind of pressure and burden on Asuka, but I love everyone else so much! Juta is my favorite character and I'm hardcore cheering for Asuka and Ryo!!
Excited to read the next volume!
Original Review 12/18/22: This was SOOOOOO great!!
I LOVED the reverse gender roles and "tackling" those expectations that are set by society because Asuka is AMAZING and NO ONE should ever tell this young man he can't be his real self! 😤😤😤 He is so pure and precious and absolutely love how his friends are helping him to be proud/confident of who he is deep down. Honestly goes to show that the people we surround ourselves with really DO make a huge impact on how we view ourselves.
I really really enjoyed the story as well and am super curious to see where it goes because every character is interesting. Outside of Ryo, it seems everyone is hiding a secret they don't want others to know about, which adds a little bit of angst to the overall story but also makes it more interesting to see how certain characters will handle things.
I am 100% here for this romance and can't wait to see where the story goes! Cheering for everyone in their own endeavors and ultimately the romance between our best boy and girl!
Highly recommend Otomen if you are looking for a story that has reverse gender roles, great characters, and lots of cute art!

This is a very simple, light, and pretty fluffy romance, but it wins points for its characters. Asuka is a tough and stoic jock at school, but he secretly loves cooking, crafts, and shojo manga. I really liked seeing a male character interested in stereotypically feminine hobbies, without the narrative painting him as weak for it. I also liked that his love interest is a tomboy (in an aside, the author says that she wrote Ryo to act more like the typical shojo romance boy). I loved how casually supportive Ryo and their mutual friend Juta were of Asuka's hobbies, and the way that Asuka handled Ryo's disapproving father.

This was fun and unique, but ultimately fell flat.

Gender-transgressive and more importantly, funny and cute. I like the art, too.

This was pretty sweet but it’s so sexist!
The art’s gorgeous! It’s sort of a sketchy (lots of lines) style. I really enjoy it.
The story was very sexist. Basically it’s saying that guys can have “girly” passions and girls can have “masculine” passions. Um yeah?? If you weren’t aware of this, I sure hope you understand this soon. Of course a guy can sew, bake/cook, read horoscopes, read shojo, etc. Anyone can.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this. The story played out in a sweet way. I’ll probably pick up the next volumes.

I've only read the first book of this series, but it was pretty darn terrible. Basically, the story is about a boy who secretly loves "feminine" things, but feels he has to hide that side of himself and instead be overly masculine. Inexplicably, his friend is a secret manga artist drawing a manga based on the main character.
I'm all about breaking gender roles and stereotypes, trust me, but this just felt like it actually *enforced* those stereotypes more than anything. It still felt very binary and only marginally progressive, in spite of the opportunity for this to be so much more.
Not to mention, the characters are all fairly one-note, and remained undeveloped through the entire book. I realize it's only the first book of many, but there was still plenty of story and time to make the characters more three-dimensional and less shallow.
I don't believe I will continue on with this series.

Cute manga. Different than many I have read. Asuka has interests in some "girly" hobbies. Such as cooking, baking, sewing, reading Shojo, etc. And when I say cooking, sewing it is always CUTE! BUt he has to hide that side of himself. He has to set an example of being a very "manly" guy. But when the girl he likes is more manly than he is what will happen? Not to mention their friend who has a secret of his own.
This series is both adorable and funny. I look forward to seeing where this series will lead me. Asuka is both strong willed and manly in his own way but likes stitching flowers, teddy bears and those super cute adorable bento boxes with faces on the food. Interesting.

Riffs off traditional gender roles for laughs, but doesn't go so far as to offer an intelligent critique.

I loved the premise but it skipped and jumped through the story, making it really confusing.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! So cute and such a cozy and fun read. Different concept, which I love. Great plot and art as well. We get to meat the MC and the other 2 MCs and I love them all.
All I have to say is its okay to like what you like, be true to yourself and your real friends will love/like you for you.

I've been reading shoujo for so very many years. It's often a guilty pleasure, but Otomen is seriously interesting as far as subverting expectations and having some progressive ideas about rigid gender roles. Asuka is a character like no other and a charming lead. The humor gets a bit zany but I'm totally involved in the characters and loving it. The art is pretty and consistent.

I couldn't believe how much I liked this manga! I've been eyeing it off and on and never checked it out, until now!
I really, really, really loved the odd, totally out there Juta and his odd relationship with Asuka. Asuka, with the way he's drawn, sucks you in and makes the duel macho/feminine sides work for the reader. Ryu is a good foil for Asuka but not much beyond being the object of Asuka's affection and a bridge between Asuka and Juta. Of course, I'm happy Ryo exists as then the relationship would just be yaoi but I wish she impressed me more as a character. I want to root for the couple but its hard when you don't like the girl.
The art is excellent. I especially love the way the mangaka draws men, the eyes especially are extremely expressive. The problem I had reading this volume was the way things were framed made the story aspect hard to understand. I had to read the volume again a second time to really understand (especially the opening chapter!) This annoys me! When you are telling a visual story get your frames setup correctly so it is understandable. While this series was worth the effort (the mangaka showed us the connections rather than told us and I found it quite clever once I understood) not all stories come back from such confusion.
Juta is used to such good effect and the story really showcases Asuka's inner turmoil which I love! And while Ryo is a rather contrived piece of conflict I like how she is used to highlight Asuka. This is a rather subtle manga but so well developed and dense. We are shown everything and so mustn't be lazy in interpreting events throughout the story. I love that this is as much about friendship as it is about first love.
BOTTOM LINE: A touch confusing but so worth the effort!

Look, I don't read shoujo manga for its progressive ideals. Mostly because you're not gonna find any there, ESPECIALLY with regard to gender and feminism. My entré into manga fandom was Ranma 1/2, for god's sake.
Anyway, I put off reading this series because it sounded like it was just going to be a silly, gender-swapped typical shoujo romance, but that's not really the case, and this series (so far) actually has some really interesting things to say about identity and gendered expectations and et cetera. I'm kind of in love with Asuka as a character. He is simultaneously the perfect Bushido-exemplar samurai warrior and the perfect 'Wa'-embodying samurai wife, and these two sides to him are never really in conflict with each other deep down--the conflict comes in how he's forced to present himself because of society's expectations of him. The comedy is good, the characters are wonderful, and unlike some other things I've read recently, I am undaunted by this series's length. If this stays an episodic comedy for 18 entire volumes I'm totally fine with that.

A fun light read about a man doing "girly" things and still magically retaining his masculinity!
Overall a pretty enjoyable read except for the judgment that was leveled upon Juta by the end of the volume. He was by far my favorite character and didn't really seem to be doing all that much harm - except perhaps to some fragile male egos? I might continue reading this someday, but I'm not the biggest fan of high school shojo in general so probably not. But that is by no means a judgement on the product itself.

I really wanted to like this more. The main male character loves "girly" things and it's his journey of learning to accept that as well as fall in love. It should be great. Unfortunately it was a bit boring. I enjoy the main character and his new friend but we don't learn anything about the love interest. There is barely any moments to build their relationship. It is just the first volume so it could be a slow build but it made it hard for me to care for her at all.

Cute, but not cute enough for me to think of it it as fluff like many reviewers. There's a lot of tell versus show and for a shojo manga it lacked emotional depth. Maybe it's supposed to since it's an inversion of tropes and readers are just supposed to know what's going on without seeing it?

A three-star review from me for a shojo series is about as high a mark of approval as I can give, really. I'm notoriously grumpy when it comes to a lot of shojo series, but this one kind of charmed me.
Manga series often seem refreshing for their openness when it comes to playing around with gender roles and this series is especially notable for that. Asuka, who is a martial arts maven, is seen as this cool guy/jock at school, but he remains an aloof, enigmatic man of mystery for the most part to hide the fact that his real interests/hobbies might be a little bit...feminine. He loves cooking and making crafts and, believe it or not...shojo manga, but as his father left his mother to become a woman, he's overwhelmed by self-doubt about what all of this means about his "manliness" and fears that if everything came out, he would cause even more pain to his mother and lose all of his hard-won acceptance at school. He manages the deception pretty well until he develops a crush on Ryo--a lovely girl who seems to be inept at most of the "feminine" things Asuka excels at. In the meantime, a meta- twist is that Asuka and Ryo's classically shojo awkward advance-and-retreat dance is serving as the inspiration of a popular shojo magazine serial. The art is nothing out-of-the-ordinarily, funnily enough, Asuka and the other male characters have more of a typically masculine look than what you often see in shojo manga. Asuka looks somewhat reminiscent of Light Yagami of Death Note, actually. Some of the characters may seem recognizable as shojo tropes. Ryo in some ways is similar to Himawari of xxxholic, and so forth, but their likability can't be denied.
Age Appropriateness (vol. 1) 10+
Very tame. A prominent character is kind of labeled a player, but you don't really see any real action. No nudity or discernible fan service. The language is mild, and the martial arts fighting is fairly minimal and harmless. The very brief almost blink-and-you'll-miss it mention of his father's actions are probably the only real thing that would cause any flap, and that's just one of those things that's going to vary depending on the family. Truthfully though---you can't get much tamer than this first volume, and the underlying messages of the importance of being true to yourself and not compromising are about as good as you can get.

While it's not going to replace Fruits Basket as my favorite shojo, I loved this light comedy about a straight high school boy struggling to hide his love of cooking, sewing, shojo, and all things kawaii by putting on a kendo-practicing mask of machoness. Asuka kicks butt and makes bento lunches with equal ease, but events in his past cause him to fear his "girly" side will be discovered and result in social ostracism. This fear only worsens when he finds out that his new love interest looks up to manly men, while his crush on her has him sewing kitty dolls and reading shojo in overdrive.
While the hero is a fun character, I adored Ryo, the heroine, as well. The blurb for the manga indicates that she fits more closely into the traditional male gender role than the female, but she isn't masculine in the slightest. Instead, she is hopeless at cooking and sewing, and she isn't afraid to fight for someone she loves - literally. I felt a modern-woman sympathy for her.
The centerpiece of the story is the relationship between Asuka, Ryo, and a boy who is secretly serializing Asuka's life as a manga (long story). Asuka goes through various phases of anxiety about the depth of his feminine talents, but his interaction with his friends provides the outward acceptance he needs to grow into his true self. It's a reflection on the little-explored positive side of peer pressure.
I will definitely read the rest of this series. I am interested to see if anyone in the story will mention that samurai practiced the manly art of flower arrangement, or that in many ancient and current cultures, true emotion was and is considered the province of men.
Recommend to: Age 14+, shojo fans, anyone needing a "be true to yourself" moral in their story

Suka banget >_<
cari istri memang harus kayak si Asuka ini *grin*
Perkenalkan, Asuka Masamune, juara nasional kendo yang cool dan diakui sebagai ’pria sejati’. Tipikal tokoh pangeran di komik cewek biasa? Pastinya nggak.
Ada yang disembunyikan Asuka. Ia memiliki sisi feminim dan lembut. Kesukaannya benda-benda manis dan berkilauan. Ia juga piawai dalam menjahit serta memasak. Yang tahu hal itu cuma Yuta Tachibana. Tanpa disadari olehnya, Tachibana menjadikan Asuka sebagai model heroine untuk komik cinta karangannya, Love Tic.
Jatuh cinta mengubah semuanya. Sikap cool Asuka menghilang ketika ia menghadapi Ryo Miyakozuka, siswi pindahan yang cantik dan pemberani. Awalnya Asuka ingin menghindari Miyakozuka, tetapi Tachibana berusaha mendekatkan mereka berdua. Kalau hubungan mereka tidak mengalami kemajuan, begitu juga dengan komik yang dibuatnya.
Ternyata Miyakozuka yang tomboi menyukai sisi manis Asuka sampai ia berkata ia akan melindunginya. Tetapi bagaimana jadinya kalau dua orang yang sama-sama lamban ini menjalin hubungan? Masihkah campur tangan Tachibana diperlukan? Jangan lewatkan komik Love Tic..eh, OTOMEN ini!
NB: Pasti gemas melihat macam-macam ekspresi Asuka yang selalu bersungguh-sungguh sehingga ia tampak keren, bahkan saat melakukan hal bodoh sekalipun ^^
