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

Otomen, Vol. 8 follows Asuka Masamune, a guy who loves girly things—sewing, knitting, making cute stuffed animals, and reading shojo comics. However, 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's grandfather becomes ill, prompting her to move to Fukuoka to take care of him. With Ryo transferring schools, does this mean that Asuka will have to bid farewell to his love…forever?
