"Otoman" Manga!

Many manga that I read, huh?

Finished work early today,
and went and bought some more manga at a store.

I bought manga called 「オトメン(乙男)」
or "Otoman"

Smart, tall and handsome Asuka Masamune, chairman of the kendō team with accomplished judō and karate skills, is considered as "THE man of men" of Ginyuri Academy. However he has a big secret (or secrets): he excels at cooking, sewing, household chores and loves sweets, pink, shōjo manga and stuffed animals/plushies and is afraid of darkness. None of the above sounds "manly" in any way, and he tries hard to hide his hobbies in order to preserve his image, until he meets an extrovert girl named Ryō Miyakozuka who has just transferred to Ginyuri Academy.


Very good manga so far!
"otoman" is a play-of-words
"otome" means "young lady" in Japanese
but also, english word "man" is in the title!
So fitting for this story!
