People who read Otomen

iii i i….in just 3 chp…i thought this was gonna be a banger and thought i that i wouldve rated this higher but..after chp 3 i feel disappointed on how it tackles gender stereotypes AND the characters. ok ill show an example like theres a point where the main problem is the mom right we see her doing everything in her power abusing it, to make her son to be what is considered the ideal man a man amongst men, which is might makes the man and not domesticity. but seriously what is her problem, OR EVEN WHATS WITH THIS STORYS PROBLEM TO MAKE EVERYTHING THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM LIKE OH YOURE MAKING ORIGAMI THAT ISNT MANLY LIKE STOP REPEATING THAT EVERY SINGLE TIME IF YOU WANT TO TELL ME OH “IT DOESNT MATTER IF UR A BOY OR GIRL IF YOU LIKE ORIGAMI JUST DO IT” KIND OF THING JUST DONT OVERBOARD FOR THAT SHOCK FACTOR AND THE ISSUE YOU WANT TO TACKLE EVERYTIME ALSO UNDERMINES THE CHARACTERS. SPEAKING OF THE CHARACTERS, FIRST OFF THE LOVE INTEREST GIRL CHARACTER ,,i i i,,,feel like shes just there for the main character to make a starting point on him being more whats considered girly and also giving him a love interest whos the complete opposite of him. other that about her, shes straightfoward, but the way shes straightfoward is that shes tells the mc what he wants to hear, for him only and if it looks like its not for him, it would be for someone else like a love rival for the mc to have tension with. though also the romance between them is…..ehh…
SECOND CHARACTER I DISLIKE IS THE INCESTUOUS COUSIN… was he there to be just one of the people who tells the boys must be boys and girls must be girls ideal ? for him to have that ideal just because he found out his first crush (his cousin) turns out to be a guy is laughable. i dont know which is more amusing…the fact that his revenge towards all girly guys because of his first crush or the fact that he fell in love again with his cousin who was pretending to be the famous shojo mangaka in this universe…….
LAST CHARACTER IS ffffff anyways his mom is the main obstacle so her reasoning was that her husband left her and her son because he wanted to become a woman. i ok it was funny at first but then she became annoying like whats her deal anyways like can you stop being dramatic for one second. can you stop being toooo dramatic about how men supposed to be like this and women are supposed to be like that for one second. i know ur husband emotionally scarred leaving you and ur kid behind who is also more stupid btw..but!!! still ur ways are the reason i have a real headache. though if ur so keen to make everything around you the traditional gender roles..then why are you a chairwoman who has a high status and prob also money in her hands that can get away with abusing her power just for her selfish desires.
oh yeah! things i like about this manga…hehe i love the guy who loves makeup hes interesting and yeah this manga has wacky hijinks that i think are cute too.

(Didn’t finish) would prolly be pretty okay but the themes of gender are very outdated and less nuanced. It treats trans people as a throwaway joke yet has the theme about accepting feminine and masculine qualities. Wouldn’t recommend nowadays but I’m sure many people enjoyed it before

From about chapter 34 or 35, none of the pages load for me. They all have the broken image on the loading bar & refreshing doesn't work.

A little hard to read because of the cliches and second hand embarrassment, but cute.

Unlike anything, I've ever read. Each chapter was just wonderful and from start to finish, this was absolutely heartwarming and wholesome. A giant 'Fuck You' to traditional gender norms.

Definitely on my 'read again' list. Really wish this had an anime that would follow this manga from start to finish. Gimme an anime with 72 episodes (split among three seasons). Then I can die single and happy.

The last time I read this manga it was still ongoing and now it's complete. Yaaasss

I really like how cute and sweet the male lead is and how tough the female lead is. I kinda of wish to find a male as cute and sweet as him ^~^ Secret desires

Almost perfect guy with a minor imperfection: he likes girly things such as baking and sewing etc., but his mom does not approve due to what happened with his dad (I'm sorry but that was hilarious, although it must've hurt her a lot)...luckily, the girl whom he loves accepts him for who he is.
