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

Otomen, Vol. 2 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?

Asuka's mother shows up with a surprise announcement—it's time for Asuka to meet his fiancée! What kind of girl does she have in mind for him? And how will Ryo respond to the match?
