Otomen (Manga)

No review on this yet?Aww...such a shame.

Story 8/10
Remember reading the summary of it before reading the manga and really appealed to me,so I thought"why not give it a shot?".It was a good choice after all,though hard to find at first.I really like the idea of a handsome guy having what one would call "girly hobbies" and seen him attept to hide it.Don't think I've come across any of this so far(my personal opinion).I didn't give this a ten cause I'd love a little more comedy,it'd be a really nice addition and because you can see some things coming,but still it worths giving it a chance.

Art 9/10
The art is very balanced,both looks like shoujo and at the same time you can mistaken it.I found the characters beautiful and well designed in fact.Nothing out of the "ordinary" but that's something to be expected by a shoujo manga.I won't hesitate to even admit that this is one of my favorites when it comes to art,just don't know,the characters(appearances)are just impressive.Will say this again,but so well designed.

Character 8/10
I like their roles and I love the idea that the main character is more feminine and the heroine more muscular(in a good way,not muscles bursting out of muscles).I just mean that their roles have reversed a little.And then we have Tachibana,a mangaka who gets his ideas for his manga from those two.He is funny and not what you can find in any manga.But I'd like to see some character developement.

Enjoyment 9/10
I enjoy reading the manga just like the first time I did.It's unusual and unique in its own way and some might find it weird,but that's what makes it more enjoyable.

Overall 9/10
It was a hard choice,I was really hesitant at first cause I don't rate manga/anime that high exepct of they're really rare and fun to read.So this basically means that according to me this is a rare finding,and pretty rare at first when it came out.I'd recommend this to any fan of romantic genre who is also open-minded and doesn't mind that this doesn't go the traditional way.
