#otomen

I'm excited that on my channel for the next few weeks, I'll be featuring some of my favorite manga covers based on certain colors! 🌈

This past week was pink, and thought I would share the graphic I made highlighting some pink shoujo covers! 💖 

Juta Tachibana! Retro edit colors version and closer to canon colors! Proud to say I did not colorpick 👍👍🌟

So. I acquired Otomen, this goofy af series by Aya Kanno, who did Requiem for the Rose King my beloved, an historical manga about Richard III. It’s epic and unusual so I thought, I’ll give this series a try. The title is a Japanese-English portmanteau. Otome means ‘maiden’. It’s about men who like ‘girly’ things. The protagonist falls in love with a very butch girl, good at kendo, raised by her tough cop dad, does not like 'girly' things, horrible at cooking et cetera.

There's some weird punk character with hair falling in his face who is obsessed with flowers and who chooses flowers over a date/spending time with people. He graffitis flowers all over things. 👀 I took a peek and it all looks extremely silly. I am so here for it.

Also, scintillating and unexpected bonus, all of the covers are over the top and decked out in the most appalling shade of pink. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💕💕💕💕💕
