«Otomen nº 01» is the first volume of the shōjo manga series by Aya Kanno, published by Planeta DeAgostini Cómics in 2008 in paperback, with 200 pages in Spanish.
Otomen follows Asuka, a student as skilled in Japanese martial arts as he is popular for his rough appearance; however, he hides his secret fondness for girls' manga, kawaii things, cooking and household chores. Thus he discovers the contradiction between what is expected of a «machote» and his true «otomen» personality, a term this work popularised within romantic and comedy manga.
First volume of the Otomen series, which the supplier also places as number 105 of Planeta DeAgostini's Manga No collection. Spanish edition with reading recommended for ages 12 and up.
