Otomen! is a Japanese boy who excels in both military and literary arts,
while sometimes helping people who are in trouble with his girly skills,
indeed a brave man!
Strong, cool, and smart,
that's you, Masamune Asuka.
But you also love to do things like this
and you're a true "Otomen"!
Tachibana!
You'll be in trouble because your vest is torn,
and that's why I'm fixing it.
Hey,
how is it?
What?
Ryo-chan, of course!
It's summer,
so why don't you ask her to go to the beach?
I - I can't do something like that!
What are you saying?
Summer is about bringing the two of you closer.
Summer, hot!
Like that?
Summer's...
...beach?
Come catch me~
Alright, here I come!
Woah, it's cold!
They say that in the past wild dolphins lived here.
Did you know, Miyakozuka-san?
A boy and girl who see a couple of wild dolphins together
are fated to never be apart.
Really?
I'm sorry,
it's a lie.
I just made that up myself.
I'm sorry.
Hey~
Asuka-chan?
Come back!
Sorry. It's done.
- Bye then.
- Ah...
Eh?
Tonomine-kun,
in last year's All-Japan Meet,
I watched the match between you and Asuka.
You two fighting with perseverance and strength, it was a great match.
Thank you.
But I was surprised
that you transfered to this school.
May I ask you one thing?
Yes.
Why did you now...
Hello?
Oh, hi.
Now?
It's okay, really. I'm free right now.
Really, a sale?
I so want to go!
Well, lately I've been thinking
that I really want to take a break, absolutely.
I can't make it today.
There's no real reason, she's just staring at me.
No, no real reason.
She's staring, so let's do it tomorrow. She really is staring at me.
Sorry. Okay then, bye-bye!
I'm really sorry.
No, it's okay.
Tonomine-kun,
you and Asuka are rivals,
so why did you now...
Hello?
Ah, Emi-chan? What happened?
[Note: She's using baby talk; e.g.: dechu instead of desu.]
Yeah.
You have another problem?
Yeah.
Why people compete with each other?
Let me guess, you just won on your first sports day, huh?
Great!
I'll call back later, okay?
Sorry, yeah.
I'm really sorry.
No, it's okay.
[Note: She's imitating Hanazawa-sensei's baby talk.]
Tonomine-kun.
What I'm wondering about
is why did you now...
...transfer to this school?
Asuka-kun is
the best swordsman among the few I've fought against.
I think,
it's his swordsmanship which brought me here.
You've said something that makes me happy.
Tonomine-kun,
please be good friends with Asuka now and in the future.
Yes. Please excuse me now.
There's a transfer student starting in our class today.
Moreover,
it's a boy!
Is he handsome?
Erm, he comes today?
Isono, you know him?
Well, he's a Kendo Club member.
What type of person is he?
- Is he hot?
- You want to hear?
Yeah, tell us!
Uh, okay, what do you want to know?
Is he strong in kendo?
Well, it's like I could teach him some stuff.
How do I put it, his talent is not that great.
He won't be really good.
Then you're strong in kendo, Isono?
Well, yeah, it's one of my strong points, I guess.
So we can't expect much from that transfer student.
Yeah.
Expect something?
You can't, you can't!
He's like a... well, a rotten tangerine.
What's that rotten tangerine's name?
Tonomine Hajime.
The kanji "ichi" in his name is read "hajime"
[Note: Hajime = first, best]
but he's not the best in anything!
By the way,
who's that person behind you, Isono?
Good morning.
There's rubbish here on your shoulder.
I'll eat it...
Not only your face, even your handwriting shows that you're a man!
So, could you please introduce yourself?
I'm Tonomine Hajime. Nice to meet you.
This hot guy Tonomine-kun
won second place in the All-Japan Kendo Meet.
Like, wait!
Japan has a large population,
yet he's number two among all, isn't that amazing?
So he's strong.
Eh?
Isn't the story different?
Hey, Isono!
- Maybe he's strong after all.
- Why didn't you tell us?
- I guess, with hard work one can get better...
- What happened to the rotten tangerine?
- It matured and became sweet.
- Isono, why is it so hot today?
- Because it's summer, duh.
- Make it cool down, Isono!
- Well, the thing is I can't really!
- Hey, what's with the rebellion?
- Well, I too wish...
- Okay, stop it!
Bullying Isono is a waste of time.
So, do you have any questions to this hot transfer student?
What school did you go to before?
Kinbara High.
Wait a minute.
Isn't Bara High strong in kendo?
Why did you transfer here?
That's...
...to defeat Masamune Asuka-kun.
Interesting.
Tonomine-kun!
I really wanted an intense character like you to push the story forward.
Hero and enemy engaged in an ongoing battle,
driven by a really strong rivalry which actually is a good friendship.
Something like that.
Excuse me.
Long time no see.
Oh...
Eh?
This beautiful hibiscus just bloomed.
In flower language it means, "bravery."
It fits you perfectly.
If you'd like, would you come and see?
Yeah.
When I have time, I'll go there.
I'll be waiting.
By the way, why did you transfer here?
I heard something about defeating Masamune Asuka-kun.
Well,
I...
...think that without him
I'm lost.
Hmm...
Eh?
What
does that mean?
Do it properly!
Hold your arms higher!
Next!
Eh?
Please fight against me.
Tsuki!
[Note: "Tsuki" is an attack technique in kendo]
Woah, Tonomine's not just all talk.
He's seriously fighting Asuka.
And what's with that way of fighting?
He's fighting like a wild animal.
Woah, amazing!
Yay! As expected from Asuka-sensei!
Yay!
Amazing!
Tonomine.
The sword acts like the fighter,
the sword acts like your heart.
Surely that technique is your best one
but if you can't control your feelings,
your sword is disturbed by it.
Yes.
To attack Asuka-sensei like that,
just as expected from your rival.
No, Ariake.
Your true rival is always yourself.
Don't forget that.
Yes.
Tonomine!
It was a swordsmanship that showed no weakness at all.
You live up to the expectations.
Expectations?
All I did was be amongst the top, but still I got beaten by you.
Masamune,
you're my perennial enemy.
Don't forget that.

(Fourth Part - Stab That Otomen Fiercely)
Bye then.
Asuka-sensei!
Please come to the beach with me next week!
- You'll come, right?
- Calm down, calm down, Ariake.
Why don't you tell me the details?
The truth is my uncle runs a beach hut.
I was asked to bring many hot guys to attract customers.
It's at the beach!
But being told so suddenly...
I've gone to that beach hut every year since I was a child.
For me it's filled with memories.
But now a new beach hut is taking away all the customers
and it might have to close down!
Please!
Asuka-chan, as an Otomen you can't leave him alone with this.
For one, it's at the beach...
Let's go!
The place that's filled with Ariake-san's memories
can't be closed down just like that!
Take me there as well.
I'll help as much as possible.
Miyakozuka-san,
your beautiful heart that makes you help others,
and then those sparkling eyes...
...are wonderful.
Alright.
I don't know how much I can do,
but if you still want me to, I'll lend you a hand.
Thank you!
I'm sure my uncle will be happy.
I had no idea Tachibana had such a cute sister!
Cute~
Are you saying that again?
- Shall I give you a kiss? Chuu!
- Hey, stop molesting my sister!
Give that kiss to Nakajima!
Isono-san is really a funny person.
You said something nice to me!
Then, just for you Kuriko-chan, shall I demonstrate my face-twisting skills?
I'm starting now, don't look away.
Great!
A masterpiece, masterpiece!
He can even do better faces.
Hey, don't make it so difficult for me.
There it is!
Can you do more, Isono?
Yes, I got it, but this is the last one!
Hey!
Hey!!!
What is it, Tonomine?
Uh, this...
...is not a Kendo Club training camp?
No!
What?!
(Hostel and Beach Hut Matsurigoto)
That's quite a peculiar...
...beach hut, huh?
Yeah, finally you're here!
What, come on in!
Get in there!
Thank you.
Thank you!
I'm really looking forward to being at the sea-side!
Exactly.
Yamato, you really brought some good-looking guys here, huh?
That helps a lot.
Most of them are my seniors in the Kendo Club.
Alright! Sorry, you just arrived, but
may I ask all boys who practice kendo to please come with me?
I have a job for you.
Alright!
Leave it to us!
(Samurai Five!! - All Samurai Five commit harakiri?!)
Here, this is it.
Remember it.
You will get more explanations later.
Uncle...
...what's this?
It's a hero show called "Samurai Five."
I use this theme to attract children.
Well,
you're Kendo Club members, so you'll do a great job.
I don't get it.
- Why do I have to do this?
- Tonomine!
We accepted this task, so we have no choice.
Let's fulfill our parts!
Hey! When did I ever accept this?
Alright. So, I'll introduce you to the person who will direct this.
(Children Hero Show)
This is the son of the Business Association Chief,
Minagawa-san.
Nice to meet you.
So that's the plan?
How old are you?
Such a small, small director with big plans!
What did you do, you moron!!
Just do it properly! Got it?
Do you really have the guts to destroy your enemy?
Who will protect it?
Uh, that's...
I'm asking who will protect the Earth?!
That's us.
Then protect it!
The Earth!
Pro - tect - it!
I'm sorry!
- Got it now?
- Yes!
He's really serious,
Minagawa-san.
With this method he's trying to push them to their limit.
He really is.
Okay, once more from the top!
Let's go!
Ready~
Action!
He's training this late at night?
Ah.
Asuka-senpai.
Tonomine.
There's a gap.
Eh?
[Note: She mistakes "suki" - gap - for "suki" - love. It sounds like he's saying, "I love you."]
There's a gap there.
Eh?!
Brother!
When you aim at the left side of the waist,
you tend to open your guard.
So there's a gap in your defense.
A gap.
Tonomine.
Have you gotten used to the atmosphere in our team?
Listen,
let's get one thing straight;
I'm not doing kendo to be in a group and bond with others.
He said, "I love you"?
Asuka-chan.
Yes.
What are you saying?
That's ridiculous...
Well,
I...
...think that without him
I'm lost.
Ah!
Eh? What?
What happened?
Is there something weird?
No, no way...
Eh?
How can...
Anyway, let's go ask him directly.
Asuka-chan, welcome back.
Ah, I'm back.
And Tonomine-san?
Practicing outside alone.
To turn someone's feelings around is
difficult, isn't it?
Eh, what do you mean?
Tachibana.
Yes!
I want to discuss something with you.
Is there
any way I can get along better with Tonomine?
Eh!?
What do you think I should do?
Uh, well...
If Isono and the others know about this,
the relationship between all Kendo Club members will suffer.
So the only one I can ask is you.
Let me see.
How do you want it to be
with Tonomine?
Hmm...
I really want to do it with him.
Become one with him.
That's what I think.
There's an invisible wall.
I can't really explain it.
But, you know,
what will the others think?
For example, Ryo-chan.
This has nothing to do with Miyakozuka-san!
This is
a story between men.
A story between men, right.
I'll...
...go have a bath.
Kuriko!
About Love-Tic,
starting next week it might have to turn into boys love.
Ah!
But I...
...might want to see two hot guys together.
Is that so?
Eh?
Where did you develop that kind of sense?
I'm not
feeling good at all.
Oharida-senpai!!
It hurts!
What's wrong with this place?!
If it goes on like this
forever,
we won't ever arrive there!
We
can't take it anymore, either!
Eh?
Masamune-kun?
If I can see an illusion of the one I want to see most,
it must be God rewarding me for how hard I've worked so far!
Thank you,
- dear God!
- Eh?
What are you doing?
Eh?
They're drinking water as if they want to save it up like camels.
That was lovely.
Are you okay?
Okay, it's ready.
Itadakimasu !
What were you doing over there?
You don't know?
Tonight, at that event site, NIKKO and Shimabukuro Manira are coming.
[Note: These names allude to real models and fashion icons.]
Eh? For real?
Yeah, yeah!
Moreover, they're doing the make-up and coordination for the models,
it's such a big event!
You'll regret it if you don't see it.
Who are they anyway?
I don't know.
Do you know them, Asuka?
No, never heard of them.
Right?
Nikko-san, the first Japanese to get accepted by the Hollywood make-up artists association,
and the best stylist in Japan, Shimabukuro Manira-san, who made a domestic brand popular in Paris.
Those two
will come to this beach?
I want to go.
Asuka-chan?
Hm?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
If this goes on, nothing good will happen!
Let's all kill ourselves by harakiri and end this.
Please, Yellow, assist me!
You fool!
Who will protect it, then?
Eh?
I'm asking who will protect the Earth!
That's us!
Then protect it!
Protect the Earth!
It's all in our hands.
Finally you got it, huh?
Nice performance, Green!
The real hero is Blue, right?
I even decided to commit harakiri.
But with Yellow-san's punch, I opened my eyes!
Alright, Samurai Five! Let's go eat together?
Instead of cutting our tummies we'll fill them up.
Black! Are you coming?
No, I'm fine.
What about you, Red?
Me, too.
You guys go.
Really? Bye then.
Yeah, let's go.
What do you want to eat?
Tonomine.
Do you have a moment?
Tonomine.
What is it?
I'm happy
that you found your way back to kendo.
And,
that we can fight against each other.
Why don't you try to blend in a bit more with the others?
We're partners that chose the same path.
Masamune.
I have a question for you.
What is kendo for you?
It's
facing the weakness in myself,
and strengthening my heart in order to overcome it.
There you go, talking big.
Eh?
You're talking big.
You're perfect in everything you do, so you can't possibly imagine
the feelings of a person
who sacrificed what he loved to pursue kendo.
Tonomine...
When I was defeated by you at the All-Japan Meet, I abandoned kendo.
But,
you showed yourself once more when I was feeling all empty.
Tonomine,
- You still like Kendo...
- Cut it!
Back then, I felt like I finally understood
that I'm always conscious of your presence as my rival.
Feeling that existence when you're close to me
is my motivation in life.
Sorry for the lame story.
What was it you sacrificed for the sword's sake?
You always say your rival is yourself, so you can't understand.
Nice work!
(NIKKO & Manira - Summer Beauty Fiesta)
This will make the girls jump happily.
I understand, we'll take care of it.
Yes, thanks for your hard work.
Akiyama-san!
Ah? What?
Sorry, the stylist's and model's cars
are stuck in a traffic jam...
They'll be late for the show.
What do we do now?
We're sorry!
What the hell's happening here...
Hey, you!
Bring someone who can replace the model!
Yes!
You, are you high school students?
Yes.
I'm a staff from that event site over there.
The model suddenly can't make it for today's show.
How about... you!
Can you act as her substitute?
Me?
- Isn't that great, Oharida-senpai!
- This is your chance!
Yes, please calm down.
Each person has their own time to show what they've got.
Alright, I'll do it.
You seem to be really in trouble after all.
Really? Thanks!
So, where should I go?
So, can you wait here a second?
I'm so thirsty.
Just stay here, I'll be back in a moment.
Yes, of course.
Wa-water please!
Yes.
Here you are.
Ah, I'm back to life!
Really? That's good to hear!
Eh?
Erm, you...
Would you become the model for that event over there?
Eh? Me?
Yes, the real model can't make it,
so I'm looking for a substitute.
You'd be perfect!
But can I really do that?
You only have to model, someone else will do your make-up and fashion coordination.
Oh.
That's great, Miyakozuka-senpai!
May I tag along?
I want to meet NIKKO-san and the others.
Kuriko, what about your job here?
It's okay.
It's getting dark soon. We can close for today.
Just go.
In exchange,
tomorrow you'll start trying to attract customers.
Yes!
- Thank you.
- No problem.
So you can do it, right?
You'd help us so much!
Yes.
Okay.

I've found a model substitute.
Here comes teh delmo~ (Here comes the model~)
[Note: He randomly talks backwards or leaves out syllables.]
Zingama! (Amazing!)
A Ningstun, lylove yung woman (A stunning, lovely young woman)
has come~
Miyakozuka-san.
Asuka-san!
What, you know each other?
Yes.
Anyways,
there's no time!
You're assistants, right?
Can you do the make-up and everything?
I can't!
Me neither! The clothes are still not here!
It's okay, you can do it.
Show me you can do it!
So, come on.
Rri- rri-
Rriblete... (Terrible...)
That's the best we can do!
We tried to manage with the clothes we bought nearby, but...
Rriblete...
Rriblete.
[Note: Now Asuka is copying him and thinking backwards.]
It really is rriblete.
I have to do something.
But...
...Tonomine and the others are here.
No.
But Miyakozuka-san,
I can't leave her like this.
Erm,
how about shortening the skirt a bit?
Shorten the skirt hem,
and arrange it with this.
- Next...
- Wait, wait wait! You!
If you have ideas, may I leave this to you?
Yes.
If that's okay with you.
Kay-o.
Miyakozuka-san,
can you please get changed?
Yes.
Alright.
Tasticfan~
Fantastic!
Wonderful!
Tonomine,
Just like you,
I have something I've sacrificed once.
But I couldn't give it up completely.
You
love sewing?
Not only sewing.
I love cooking
and cute and sparkling things, too.
You said I'm perfect, but
there's no such person.
Everyone has
in their hearts
something they can't abandon, right?
Asuka-chan always says the right thing.
Wonderful!
Shall we go with this make-up?
Wait.
Gold and blue for the eye shadow.
Cheek, concealer, foundation.
The concept is "Gorgeous Summer"?
Yes, it is.
Why?
I want to add movement to her hair.
- Warm up the iron, please.
- Yes!
Tonomine?
Ah, I can see it.
I can see it!
Come here, girl!
Yes.
You
have soft skin.
Doing your make-up will work fine.
I will turn you
into a butterfly with my hands.
Is this me?
A rop ingbeat (A pro beating)
niquetech... Derfulwon! (technique... Wonderful!)
Brother.
Tonomine Hajime,
he's an Otomen as well.
Then the two of them...
Yes.
It's not boys love.
They
are sharing the same pain,
feeling close to each other.
Tonomine.
You
like make-up?
We have the same girlish hobbies.
No,
I really think you're great, Tonomine!
Oh, crap! Hurry!
Yes!
It has already been two hours.
Erm, Oharida-senpai?
Let's leave.
The event will start soon.
Is there something wrong?
But I understand your feelings.
Because I was selected to be the model, the event won't start without me.
A perfect make-up, fashion,
no one usually gets this chance!
Ladies and gentlemen, this event is presenting to you NIKKO-san and Shimabukuro Manira-san,
(NIKKO & Shimabukuro Manira)
(Summer Beauty Fiesta)
but due to circumstances they can't make it.
But please stay here because tonight, a very fresh atmosphere will be brought
by newcomers to the fashion scene!
The Gorgeous Summer Style is here!
And the ones responsible for the make-up and fashion coordination are these two!
Beauty Samurai!
Not cutting the enemy but cloth,
Beauty Color Red!
Not carrying a sword but a lipstick,
Beauty Color Black!
(Beauty Samurai Talk)
Even if we say "gorgeous,"
it's not about using as many colors as possible,
not at all.
[Note: He's trying to use very polite, almost ancient Japanese.]
Just like this simple fashion,
there is one point in making it special.
Just a gorgeous decoration makes all the difference.
Asuka speaking this lively,
I see it for the first time.
So this is the real you,
Masamune.
To use eye-shadow we put it on the finger
and start applying at one point.
Then we just spread it with the fingers,
slowly.
[Note: He's imitating Asuka's way of talking.]
Actually, this is
what professionals also do,
this technique.
Talking about what you love,
you can become this soft with your words.
It's as if you're a completely different person,
Tonomine.
Hm?
This is really fun.
To do what we like and show it to people,
thereby expressing our true selves.
Yes.
I had decided that it was something
that I wasn't destined to show.
Don't misunderstand me!
You will always be my natural enemy!
When I aim at the left side of the waist, I hold the sword too high and open my guard.
Someday I will make you regret that you told me this, Masamune.
Tonomine...
