This New York Times manga bestseller series features handsome, manly men who have cute, girly hobbies!

Otomen, Vol. 5 follows Asuka Masamune, a guy who loves girly things—sewing, knitting, making cute stuffed animals, and reading shojo comics. But in a world where boys are expected to act manly, Asuka must hide his beloved hobbies and play the part of a masculine jock instead. Can Asuka ever show his true self to anyone, much less to Ryo Miyakozuka, the girl that he's falling for?

Ryo is chosen to participate in a contest where flower arrangement and tea ceremony skills are tested—but she struggles with both! To top things off, the previous champion wants Asuka for herself! Does Ryo have a fighting chance?
