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? -- VIZ Media

"This was pretty sweet but it’s so sexist!<br/><br/>The art’s gorgeous! It’s sort of a sketchy (lots of lines) style. I really enjoy it. <br/><br/>The story was very sexist. Basically it’s saying that guys can have “girly” passions and girls can have “masculine” passions. Um yeah?? If you weren’t aware of this, I sure hope you understand this soon. Of course a guy can sew, bake/cook, read horoscopes, read shojo, etc. Anyone can. <br/><br/>Anyways, I really enjoyed this. The story played out in a sweet way. I’ll probably pick up the next volumes."
