"Otome-domo yo." is a side story in Confession Executive Committee, in particular to the Love Series; and is a sequel to "Heart no Shuchou". The song focuses on Arisa Takamizawa's former middle school classmate Karen Miura and how she dealt with high school life and love.
This was originally performed by CHiCO with HoneyWorks as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of O Maidens in Your Savage Season, and is the title track of the single of the same name.
Karen's development in Misuzu High School continues in the PV for "Minikui Ikimono".

Lyrics[]
愛から生まれた一冊の本には
まだ書かれていない”恋”という一文字
退屈な15ページだった
次をめくると息が詰まり溺れた
文字にできないこの感情に
今日も理不尽に打ちのめされた
潔癖だった知りたくなかった
この苦しさの正体とか
だけど
キズついても 読むことをやめない
キレイじゃいられない
君を知るページ
荒ぶれ乙女たち 抗え乙女たち
痛みを知ってゆけ
栞はいらない
付き合ったとして何をすればいいの?
“あれ”もしなきゃダメなの?嫌だよ無理だよ
純情という正義に悩み
今日も”異性”に振り回されてる
それでもきっと誰かを愛して
次のページをめくるのだろう
決して
悪ではない 変化を恐れない
過去に笑われても中指立てろ
胸張れ乙女たち 戦え乙女たち
涙ばかりじゃない
ハートは温かい
読み進めればまた違う痛み
慣れないけれど楽しめそう
今日も乙女たちは恋に落ちてゆく
すれ違いをしたり見つめ合えたり
今はまだ知らない出会ってすらいない
誰かと結ばれる明日があるかも
だから
キズついても 読むことをやめない
キレイじゃいられない
“恋”を知るページ
荒ぶれ乙女たち 抗え乙女たち
痛みを知ってゆけ
栞はいらない

In this book, a volume born of love,
the single word "love" still isn't written.
It was a boring 15 pages.
When I turned to the next page, it took my breath away like I'd drowned.
This feeling that's inexpressible in words
unfairly knocked me down again today.
I was squeaky clean, I didn't want to know
the real nature of this pain.
However,
even if I get hurt, I won't stop reading.
I can't be pretty
on the page where I get to know you.
Be rough, maidens! Struggle on, maidens!
Go and learn what pain is.
You don't need a bookmark.
Even if were to go out, what are we supposed to do?
Do we have to do "that"? No way! I can't!
Troubled by this right thing they call a pure heart,
I got tossed around by the "opposite sex" again today.
Even so, surely I'll love someone
and turn to the next page.
It's definitely
not wrong. I won't be scared of change.
Even if I was laughed at in the past, I'll stick up my middle finger.
Puff your chest out, maidens! Fight on, maidens!
It won't always be tears.
Your heart is warm.
If I keep reading, there's a new pain to come.
It's something I'm not used to, but it seems I can have a good time.
Maidens will go on falling in love again today
often passing each other by, often gazing at each other.
There might be a tomorrow when I'll connect to someone
who I still don't know or haven't even met.
Therefore,
even if I get hurt, I won't stop reading.
I can't be pretty
on the page where I get to know "love".
Be rough, maidens! Struggle on, maidens!
Go and learn what pain is.
You don't need a bookmark.
Well then, onto the next page.
Trivia[]
- The series the song is written for, O Maidens in Your Savage Season, cameos in two scenes:
- One scene has Karen reading a book in class; upon closer inspection, it's a heavily filtered version of the cover of an O Maidens in Your Savage Season manga volume.
- Towards the end of the PV, the store Karen enters has a poster of the anime adaptation's key visual (around 3:06).
- The gap between Karen's appearance in the PVs at their first release is 3 years, following her appearance in "Koi-Iro ni Sake".
- This PV contains the first explicit vulgarity in the franchise (Karen giving the middle finger to her middle school self).
