Hana to Mitsubachi

"Bishonen" are the beautiful boys that abound in shôjo manga. Flowers & Bees is the manga that transforms these beautiful boys into men. Into beautiful men. Masao Komatsu might consider himself a complete failure. Yet, high school life is never so bleak that it can't get worse, and unfortunately for him, he still harbors fragments of self-respect here and there. The stunning sisters Kiyoko and Harumi are more than willing to strip him of these remnants—during each visit Masao makes to their salon, World of Beautiful Men. Why shouldn't young men also have the chance to have their lives upended in the quest for unreachable beauty standards? Despite mockery from classmates and stares on the street, Masao pledges loyalty to his transformations—resolved to become the man that hairdressers, estheticians, and fashion magazine editors fantasize about women dreaming of!
