Just normal. Asuka is nice, with his girly tastes and girly behavior, and Tashibana is also a nice friend.

While it's not going to replace Fruits Basket as my favorite shojo, I loved this light comedy about a straight high school boy struggling to hide his love of cooking, sewing, shojo, and all things kawaii by putting on a kendo-practicing mask of machoness. Asuka kicks butt and makes bento lunches wit...
