He&#039;s very masculine and cool but secretly he loves girls&#039; things. This, however, does not stop him from being necessarily tough on occasion- he can defend himself and his friends. When Asuka was young his father left his family because he wanted to become a woman. This affected Asuka&#039;s mother severely and when she saw that her son was starting to like girls&#039; things she forced him to be masculine. Asuka also clearly states that while he likes girly things, he does not want to become a woman. When a new girl in school, Ryou Miyakozuka, is being bullied he defends her and afterwards falls in love with her. Among his talents, besides sports, includes cooking and sewing. He also enjoys reading the fictional manga &quot;Love chick&quot; which runs in &quot;Hana to Mame&quot;- a play of words on the actual manga magazine Hana to Yume- the sister magazine in which Otomen runs.

Asuka Masamune is 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. Ryo Miyakozuka, on the other hand, is a girl who can't sew or bake a cake to save her life. Asuka finds himself drawn to Ryo, but she likes only the manliest of men! Can Asuka ever show his true self to anyone, much less to the girl that he's falling for?
