Otomen, Vol. 14 (14)

Love how the story continues and being so close to end!! Ahh! Definitely recommend this series!

I really enjoy this series but it has been getting away from the main story. I enjoy learning about the support characters, but at least try to incorporate it with the story,,,

There were a few parts in each chapter that fell a little flat according to my daughter who reads these books.

~4/5[This review is also available on my blog.]I like this series. I rather enjoy it quite a bit, actually. But it's kind of slow, tends to have episodic chapters, plus it's being released rather slowly. Still, it's very enjoyable. It's fun, lighthearted, cute.The first part of this volume featured most of the group going on a snowy vacation, mainly for Kitora (the flower guy). Some special flower is supposedly popular in this one area, but when the group gets there, they find that it's extinct, or maybe never even existed at all. This storyline has a bit of a supernatural element, but it's cute. I like Kitora, and did enjoy seeing some more of him, and getting to see him with his love interest.The second part features several things. There a hint of the future and how several of the characters don't know what they're going to do after high school. Tonomine (the make-up guy) is conflicted by his pushy father and his actual wants. Kasuga (Asuka's cousin or whatever) decides to confess to Jewel Sachihana, so Asuka has to dress up as her again, and before that he helps Kasuga make a cake, which means that we got to see a good amount of Asuka's father (who I like a lot, actually). Asuka is also being pressured by his mother to not be girly.I don't really have a whole lot more to say, I don't think. I like this series; it's cute and enjoyable. I kind of wish something more heavy in plot would happen, or something more romantic with Asuka and Ryo, or at least to get more of Ryo (I think she might be my favorite character, oddly enough). As I said, this is kind of a slow moving manga, and it's being very slowly released, but I like it, and I tend to get every volume as they're released.

Today's post is on Otomen volume 14 by Aya Kanno. It is the fourteenth in her Otomen series. It is 192 pages long and is publishes by Shojo Beat. As this is the fourteenth volume in this series, you need to have read the first thirteen volumes to understand the story. The cover is pink with Yamato in the center looking like a cute girl that he is not. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, humor, and love stories. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character with moments of the other characters added in for plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.From the back of the book Asuka and Ryo join their friend Kitora on an adventure abroad to find the legendary delamezla flower! Meanwhile, things get complicated when Asuka encourages his cousin Kasuga to confess his feelings to his crush—especially when Asuka becomes involved in more ways than one...!Review- Asuka and Ryo get to go on a trip together. But things get complicated when Kitora is rejected by a flower spirit that he wants to see. Juta's sister saves the day but still hates flowers. Asuka's cousin is leaving the plot for the time being and Asuka wants to help him confess to his crush before he goes. But Kasuga's crush is Jewel Sanhihana or rather Asuka pretending to be Jewel Sanhihana. Kasuga explains to Asuka that he believed Asuka was a girl when they were children and that when Kasuga discovered that Asuka was a boy, Kasuga doubted himself. They work their differences and Kasuga goes into the sunset happy. Only Four more volumes left.I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
