Shoujo manga magazines typically feature stories with female leads: the character whose perspective and inner thoughts primarily narrate the story to the audience.

The manga collected in this stack are original works serialized in these same shoujo magazines, but instead feature a male leading character. Story plots can fall into any genre and vary widely, including Romance, Adventure, Horror, or Comedy.

Please note Boys Love (BL) stories and male casts with heavy BL subtext are excluded from this stack. Manga serialized in josei magazines are also excluded as there are specific publications which have a higher tendency to feature only male characters.

”Otomen” are men who have feminine hobbies and thoughts and show great ability in housework.

They are not gay, and do not wish to become women. They are just regular men who happen to enjoy cute things, cooking, cleaning, etc. In general things that are usually regarded as feminine.

Other names may be used.

"A character who is In Touch With His Feminine Side, also known as a Tomgirl, a Girly Boy, or a Sensitive Guy, is a male character who lacks certain stereotypically male traits and may adopt some stereotypically girlish traits."

Manga that were published under the Shojo Beat/Shojo imprint by Viz Media.

TVM Comics, is a now defunct vietnamese manga publisher. It well known back in mid 2000's and 2010's for published many popular Shonen Jump and Shoujo series. The company founded in 2007, an obsidinary company of TVM Corp, for publishing fully license manga series.

Due to around that time, Vietnam is well known for pirate manga and books instead of fully license. Among those, popular publishers in Vietnam like Kim Đồng and Trẻ Publishing House who mostly published pirate manga around that time. But thanks to TVM Comics, it consider help other willing to license out. It also know that TVM Corp, the parent company also responsible for dubbing anime in vietnamese, many popular series such as Dragonball, Cardcaptor Sakura, Captain Tsubasa, Azumanga Daioh, etc,... This company is consider of Tokyopop/ ADV Films of Vietnam.

But unfortunately, even all of many success, the company went bankrupt in 2019. Due to poor sales and around that times where manga isn't no where near hugely popular as of now. Most of the series that they published around that time, either stop or let another company pickup to continue they left off. Even tho, they no longer exist but their legacy still lives on in many manga collectors heart.

I will pick some series that they published, either gone along with them or others pickup.
