Love Stage!! by Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou



Izumi Sena is an average guy born into a family of famous celebrities. A college student and total otaku, he works hard every day with the goal of someday becoming a manga creator.

His father is a singer and his mother an actress, while older brother Shogo is the lead singer for the popular band “CRUSHERZ.” Though his family is packed with famous celebrities, Izumi Sena is just your average guy. Currently a college student, he is a huge otaku with aspirations of becoming a manga creator. But one day he gets roped into participating in a TV commercial and meets popular young actor Ryoma Ichijo. Could this be the same boy he starred in a commercial with over ten years ago?!

My Rate: 8 (amzn.to/4lxm16a)

Love Stage!! is probably one of the most adapted manga out there: anime, drama, movie, basically every type of media. Indeed the manga is quite a classic yaoi story, with the seme and uke pair, and with a lot of comedic undertones making it more cute than sexy. I can for sure say that I like the graphic, even more since in the anime version I can see it in full color. And for once the two live action adaptations are not bad either. If I have to be true, my favorite couple is the side one, the brother and the manager, and I'm a little sad that, even if they have their own manga, it was not adapted.
