This boys’ love manga series about two young actors has now been running long enough that it’s time to flip the premise. Previously, the more experienced Ryoma was pursuing Izumi. However, events in Love Stage!! volume 5 amusingly make the opposite necessary.This series is obviously a fantasy, as most prominently seen by how young Izumi turns out to be a genius actor with no training. (In earlier books, there were nods to how it was because he was raised in a celebrity family and had picked up a lot unconsciously.) But I do like the behind-the-scenes bits of making a TV show, even if spending all day on one scene seems unrealistic.The story is by Eiki Eiki, who keeps finding new ways to have these two cute boys flirt with and seduce each other. The art is by Taishi Zaou, who does a wonderful job keeping the pages full but easily readable, with the necessary strong focus on emotion. It’s not all faces, either, with plenty of scene-setting and backgrounds as well.Let’s not forget, though, that this is BL. There are sex and seduction scenes, as well as a hilarious segment where the girlish Izumi becomes determined to “become the seme to end all semes — a super seme that will rock the entire BL world!” Since the seme is the aggressive, dominant partner, watching the unlikely Izumi commit to play this role is silly, but underneath, it reflects his determination to be proactive in getting the relationship he wants, a message we can all appreciate.

Whatcha gonna do? It's total fluff, but it's fun fluff! Great artwork, skilled plotting, interesting main and supporting characters with byplay of their own: perfect for a fun, heartwarming, and not-very-serious read. Enjoy it for what it is!

Whilte not quite as good as the previous volumes, I recommend it to anyone who has read Love Stage! and really, any BL fan. I love how this series makes fun of itself for being a BL manga, with Izumi as the "uke who wants to be a seme".When I read in the summary that Ryouma gets amnesia, I thought he would hit his head or something, which is overused but classic. But no, he get hypnotized. While I believe there can be power to hypnosis, the whole thing seemed a little far-fetched to me. It's why I am giving it four stars instead of five. It was still an amusing read, though not quite as humorous as some of the previous volumes. I look forward to the next one. In spite of the downside of this particular volume, I still love the series.

i read up to the last chapter in volume 5 now im patiently waiting for volume 6 to see what happens after chapter 26 hopefully something good happens idk -crosses fingers- can't wait for ten count hope sublime doesn't remove the smut from it

I already cannot wait for the next volume to be released! This story is cute, fun, silly, and still romantic. I adore both Izumi and Ryoma and constantly rooting for them throughout each volume. This was my first anime and manga introduction into the whole boy's love/yaoi genre and has remained my favorite (followed quickly by both No. 6 and Junjou Romantica). I still really wish they made Love Stage collectible figurines. ;)

Loved the first few columns of this series, but it is quickly slowing down and losing the sweet romantic comedy version be it began with

Great condition. Loved the timely manner it arrived on. This story is amazing and love how cute they are. Can't wait for the next one.

Not overly gushy or realistic Love Stage bring together an amazing cast of characters and always leaves you wanting more.
