I like the development of Yamato and Hajime.
I want to see them reach their full potential and become amazing characters who are proud of themselves, their loves and their hobbies. I also like how the cover has the other characters who are such a huge influence on Asuka. I think this volume is more about the characters who are important to Asuka and how they develop thanks to him.
Progress on Yamato and his path to acceptance of himself. Apr 01, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: I'm still enjoying Otomen, but I think it's starting to coast now. I hope the love triangle that seems to be showing itself in the last chapter doesn't come to much. I think that would be more tiresome than anything else. Asuka is now so far overdue for a serious talk with his father that it's getting really annoying. Jun 10, Michael Mai rated it it was amazing. I liked this one a lot especially with the development at the end.

Will Tonomine give up his love of makeup in order to enter the world of politics? Or will his otomen pastime find a way to prevail? Review- The first story is about Tonomine finally being honest with himself and his family. His family knows but unless he was willing to honest with them about what he wanted they expected him to follow in his father's footsteps.
Of course in the end he chooses himself and the future that will make him the happiest. The last story is about Yamato and his desire to not be himself. He does not have a very good self opinion and he gets some work on that in this volume. But it ends with he realizing that he has a crush on Ryo and decides to go for it.
So with only three volumes left I'm not sure what Kanno can do with that added story line but I will find out soon! I give this volume Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. Hier haben wir sehr viel Charakterentwicklung seitens Tounomine, der Make-up Artist werden will. Mar 27, Judy Geeky Reading rated it really liked it Shelves: And I loved it.
And I really want the next one now. The first half of the volume focuses on Tonomine, who I like, but am not a huge fan of. Still, the story was entertaining. And even while it was being super cheesy, I was, for some reason, grinning. The conclusions are just too sweet, and sometimes the setups are too convenient. This bothers me, but I try not to let it, because I still really enjoy this series. After Tonomine, the story shifts to focus on Yamato. Yamato is just an okay character, really, but I really enjoyed his storyline here. He has a hard time with the fact that he looks girly, because he wants to be so manly and tough.
And then a guy who he used to go to school with, who bullied him, shows up and Yamato tells him that Ryo is his girlfriend. And turns out rather well for him in the end, as he learns to embrace his girly looks, in a rather awesome, hilarious way. It was just so good. The best part about this whole volume, though, was Ryo.

I just love her. I mean, Yamato and his old bully are fighting it out at carnival games, trying to prove who is tougher, and she is beating all of their asses at everything, without even realizing what this means to them. And then, when she realizes Yamato is having a hard time with his self-confidence, she spouts off, twice, with very helpful advice, without even realizing how helpful she is being to him.
I just love her, and I want more of her. I want her to get more focus in later volumes; I want her to get all the focus, really, because I want her, all the time. Anyway, on the romance front.
This is surely not going to be good for Ryo and Asuka, but good writing material for Juta, and all around funny in the next volume. I am really looking forward to the next volume.

Otomen, Vol. 15
But whereas Asuka has merely to contend with some vague masculine ideal set by his overbearing mother, poor Hajime has additional pressure set on him to become a politician like dear old dad. Asuka is also on hand to lend his talents but the spotlight remains firmly on Hajime. As if forcibly lightening the mood, the second story once again shifts attention to the little girly man Yamato. Matters aren't helped when he's given some wrong-headed advice by the constantly interfering Juta.
I feel this volume could have done without the inclusion of Yamato's story. It also hints at a further complication for Asuka and Ryo in future, leading this reader to wonder at a possible new plot twist. Jul 21, Amy Keeley rated it really liked it Shelves: Three and a half stars, actually.
Tonomine's conflict resolved in a way that made sense, and that made me smile for all the women involved. It also had a nice twist with Ryo that made me grin.
Otomen, Vol. 15 : Aya Kanno :
Most of all, I was glad to see how things worked out between Tonomine and his father. I was so afraid that part would be over the top as well, but when it comes to emotions Aya Kanno manages to keep things down to earth. The twist at the end of the volume made me groan, though. I don't want a lov Three and a half stars, actually. I don't want a love triangle, even if part of it is one-sided, and if it gets too painful, I'm going to take a break from this series.
Just another fun, humorous, relaxing volume of Otomen! There are two main stories here, the first of which carries over from where the previous left off and comes to a nice resolution. The second story begins and ends within this tome, no cliffhangers here.
