When Asuka Masamune was young, his father left his mother... to become a transsexual. This shock devestateddevastated Mrs. Masamune, and it shocked her even more to see her son show interest in dolls and other girly pursuits. Worried that Asuka would also run off and become a transsexual, she hammered into the young boy about the importance of being as manly as possible.
 
Now 16, Asuka is widely considered the manliest man in school. He's top in the country at kendo, is extremely talented at judo as well, and is seen by all his peers as the pinnacle of manly, manly perfection.

A [[Live Action Adaptation|TV soap opera]] about the manga was created last August 2009, spanning 12 episodes. It is only loosely based on the actual plot of the manga though, as pretty much the whole thing was rewritten from scratch.

----
This series has examples of:
 
* [[Action Girl]] - Ryo, lead to [[Battle Couple]]
* [[Adaptation Expansion]] - Some new plots and a slew of new characters were added into the live-action drama.
Line 106 ⟶ 104:
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] - Kasuga.
* [[Secret Test of Character]] - Asuka's mom does this to him in Episode 2 of the drama.
* [[Shout-Out]] - To ''[[Macross Seven7]]'' of all things, on the band fight night, by George of Fuckin' Bone. "Listen to my song! Totsugeki Rolling Bone!"
** There are also shout outs to ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' and ''[[Honey and Clover]].''
** And ''[[Seven Samurai]].''
Line 113 ⟶ 111:
* [[Shower of Awkward]] - Ryo walks in on a very naked Asuka in the bathroom. ''He'' freaks out, ''she'' doesn't even seem to notice.
* [[Show Within a Show]] - Jewel Sachihana's ''Love Chick''.
* [[Sitting Onon the Roof]] - Ryo, Asuka and Juta usually eat lunch on the roof so that other students won't know about Asuka's amazing bento making skills.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]] - Tonomine, so much.
** Kasuga, too.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] - Ooji Suzaku's sheer sex appeal makes even ''Kasuga'' flustered. His nickname is "Prince Pheromone."
* [[The Matchmaker]] - Juta for Asuka and Ryo.
* [[TranssexualTranssexualism]] - Asuka's dad in the drama. {{spoiler|In the manga he turns out to be very much male, though of course a model otomen.}}
* [[Tsundere]] - Tonomine, sort of: the author coined the phrase "tsunsama" (the "tsun" part of tsundere + [[Japanese Pronouns|oresama]]) to describe him. Usually he's red hot on the "tsun" (irritable) front but he has revealed his "dere" (soft) side a number of times.
* [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]] - It would would be impolite to comment on Yamato's first attempt to wear makeup, so we will leave that with Tonomine.
{{quote| "That...is a blasphemy against makeup!"}}
* [[Visual Kei]] - House Dust.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] - Juta is forced to do this to {{spoiler|protect his identity as the author of ''Love Chick''}}.
