Otomen by Aya Kanno I really enjoyed this manga, it’s really cute and warming! It’s about Asuka, who’s a high-school boy. He loves cute, fluffy and sparkly things, his hobbies are to knit, sew read shoujo manga and bake cakes. But his transphobic mom can’t stand feminine men , so he forced himself to hide his real self and pretend to be super-manly. But when he falls in love with the tomboyish and cool Ryo he can’t keep his real self hidden any longer, because love makes him want to make cute bentos and bake cakes and decorate. Also it soon becomes apparent that there’s a lot of other guys with “feminine” hobbies around. It’s mostly light-hearted comedy with some surreal elements, but there is a clear moral stance taken that people should be themselves and not care about gender norms, and it’s the gender roles that are mocked. Also Asuka is truly adorable! -- source link
