Genre: Comedy, Romance, School Life, Shoujo
Current Status: Ongoing

Asuka Masamune is a badass. Really. He is a tough, cool, second year high school senior who is a master at kendo. He exudes an aura of manliness that is difficult to deny. Everyone at school admires him. But for Asuka, life is a constant torture. He has never been allowed to show the "real" Asuka to anyone but himself. While he is phenomenal at Kendo, and is the human personification of "manliness", Asuka actually loves knitting, cooking, sewing, Shoujo manga, plushies and cute things.

Poor Asuka. He goes through his life acting all macho and cool, while he would much rather read the latest Hana to Mame comic at the book store and dream of a shoujo manga romance. But fate turns with a surprising twist when Asuka rescues a female classmate from bullies, Ryo Miyakozuka, a delicate and cute-looking transfer student, who has a secret herself; she loves all things manly.
