Somewhat dragging out the mothers plans but still enjoyable.
The play had me rolling my eyes at the beginning, but when Asuka's mother suddenly takes an interest, the whole vibe changes. She is officially on the crazy list. Does she want her son to be miserable???? She has issues. And I wonder if she misheard something about her husband. We constantly get the line "I want to be a woman," but he isn't one. Did he change his mind, or did he say I want to be an Otomen? I wonder because when Asuka says that she flashes back to him leaving with that line, so I wonder. I hope that gets answered what really happened in this series. The new dark twist to the series has me on edge and eager for the last couple volumes!

This series is drawing to a close soon, along with several other Shojo Beat titles, surprisingly. Several of them didn’t feel like the end was near, but I definitely don’t mind. This series does need a conclusion soon, and I’m looking forward to the main plots being concluded, but I still wasn’t really expecting it.
Asuka’s mom is, like, psychotic, you guys. She feels so strongly against boys doing girly things, it’s ridiculous. And now she’s watching her son closely, wanting to sabotage him. She needs to knock it off, get some sense put into her. I’m looking forward to that confrontation.
Aside from that, there was the rest of the Yamato plot line, then one where the group stars in an ad-lib play. Something big happens with Juta at the end, and that should cause some problems.
I think the shining star in this story is Asuka and Ryo’s relationship. They’re just so sweet and cute together, so secure in their relationships and mature about it. I enjoy relationship drama, but this is very nice to see as well. And I’m honestly starting to wonder if those two are ever going to kiss, or do anything overtly romantic. Hopefully something will happen by the end of the series, since there are only two books left.
This isn’t a series that really sticks out, it’s not high in drama or dark material or anything. It’s very lighthearted and sweet. But that’s nice, too, going into it expecting light and fluffy, drama over little things that get fixed easily, a very sweet read. I’m enjoying it.

i was reading this while chatting with a friend on facebook and came across the line about asuka and ryo being 'enormous good-looking mountains!' at which point i burst into laughter and felt the need to share my thankfulness that this manga exists to my friend. after describing other amazing aspects of this volume (cinderella!asuka/prince!ryo! flower evangelists! undercover cake lessons!) i'm pretty sure i sold her on trying the series
the moral of this story is otomen is amazing and spreading hilarious manga is my One True Librarian Purpose. 3.5 stars

🌸SYNOPSIS
Asuka and his friends has ended up getting involved in the school play. They all seem to be competing for the hand of Princess Kaguya, who is played by our darling Ryo, but that’s not the major problem, Asuka’s mother is watching and Asuka reveals his Otomen heart for all to see, especially her. Will this be the end of Asuka and his love for all things cute?
That’s not all, Asuka and friends go on a retreat to a cute little farm where they could be free to enjoy all things cute, but they are not alone. In the end, so many changes are occurring, will they be able to keep true to themselves? Or is this the end to our gang of open and caring Otomen friends.
🌸OPINION
I like how this story makes me emotional, even if it makes me so angry since this whole theme is out-dated but I need to know more, I need to know how it ends. Which is a great motivator, but I am sad that it is occurring in the last three volumes, like it happens with long run series.
🌸PRO
The story is finally hitting a high, I dread but look forward to reading more
🌸CON
That bloody narrow-minded twat of a mother and this is me being nice about it
Cliff-hanger
🌸FINAL SAY
“I’ll wipe out all of them”
This sticks to me so much cause that’s basically what will be the main theme for the last three volumes and this is spoken by a cruel character, in my honest opinion. I really want to know the real reason why the concept scares her so much and I don’t think it’s cause of her husband. I think it’s more deeper than that but I hope that within the next two volumes it reveals why she is like this and maybe, hopefully, allow Asuka be his true self with the people who knows and loves him the most.

I feel like this one wasn’t as fun. It’s going into plots that are very common for a shoujo manga when it’s going on for long, like love triangle territory. Often that’s done in a way to keep the story going but without a lot of thought into it. This feels like No exception. But the manga is still enjoyable due to cute drawings of parents, a flair for dramatics and the stakes getting higher.
Es geht eindeutig dem Ende zu, da nun alles versucht wird, unser Pärchen auseinander zu reißen.
The play was so funny xD
And the mom finally found out Asuka is an otomen!
