I’d taken note of Otomen ever since I saw a huegish poster at Kinokuniya, but I didn’t take note of the title till now.
The summary sounds interesting enough, and even the title is unique.
*ripped fr Serenus-Dreamers: Asuka is a guy who has likings for girly things like shoujo manga, baking, and sewing. However, his mother forbids him being so and wants him to grow up manly. He starts learning kendo and karate and grows up to be stoic guy. But can he fight the urge of falling in love and hiding his real identity?
I mean, no other manga series has ever done this as a main plot, have they. Except maybe Ouran, y’know that Honey-senpai mini-arc about his brother? yeah.
Aand, reading into the first volume, it was actually quite comedic as well. Just the poor Asuka’s luck that the girl he happens to crush on is entirely unsensitive. Anyhoo, if you get a chance and don’t mind shoujo themed manga, it’s pretty worth it imo. ASUKA IS HELLA FUNNY.
As for other updates, I’ve caught up with the Yakitate!! Japan and KHR manga. And I’ve just got my hands on Tekkon Kinkreet. Good animation scouted in the trailer. =v= I hope it’s good…
speaking of which Tekkon Kinkreet reminded me of animatrix and now I really want to watch it somehow T_T gar. Except, I’m not so sure I like dubs…
