Love Stage!! (Manga) | comment |
Love Stage!! is a Boys' Love manga created by Zaou Taishi and Eiki Eiki, running from 2010 to 2016 in Asuka CIEL magazine. It received a 10 episode anime adaptation in the summer of 2014.Sena Izumi is an otaku in a family full of entertainers; his mom is an actress, his dad a singer, and his older brother a member in the famous music group Crusherz. His family wants him to join the entertainment business, but he doesn't want any of that, instead he wants to be a mangaka. But when he reunites with Ichijou Ryouma, an up and coming actor who had fallen in love with him when they did a commercial together as children, it seems like his family will get their wish.Love Stage also has a side story by the name of Back Stage!!, which is a novel about Izumi's older brother Shougo and Sena's Production manager Sagara Rei. That novel eventually got its own manga adaptation in CIEL.A live-action adaptation came out in 2020, with another (this time a Thai production) to follow in 2021. | |

Love Stage!! (Manga) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Izumi, after trying to enter his manga into a contest and being told he has no talent. Ryouma helped him by giving the manuscript to Izumi's favorite author and begging him to give Izumi's work constructive criticism. Later on, Ryouma has his own moment, when Izumi floors him with his superior acting ability, proving himself a complete natural, in his very first acting gig, and Ryouma is affected so badly that he is unable to focus, forcing Director Kisaragi to attempt his hypnotism trick on Ryouma, to calm his nerves. Unfortunately, the hypnotism proves ''too'' effective, as Ryouma ends up forgetting not about his worries but the source of his worries: Izumi, even to the point that the hypnotism undoes their past progress, as Ryouma cannot even remember Izumi from when they were kids—which is a huge deal, considering the effects that first encounter had on Ryouma for the last 10 years. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy | |
Love Stage!! (Manga) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: For an otaku, Izumi can be pretty... idealistic when it comes to attempting the seme role in his and Ryouma's relationship. His BL research has him listing all known seme types, but he insists on being the super seme—which, as Rei later points out, is nowhere near possible for Izumi through physical requirements alone (though Izumi begs that a guy can dream). Izumi might have better luck as the shota seme. | |

Love Epiphany: Ryouma realizes he's still in love with Izumi when he sees him naked and is overcome with desire rather than disgust (though, Ryouma never fully did lose his feelings for Izumi when he learned he was a guy) and Izumi has one for Ryouma when he is being violated by three men and he says to himself that he doesn't want it if it's not with Ryouma. Similarly, Rei realizes he's genuinely falling in love with Shougo after being attacked by a stalker and realizing that he only wants Shougo to touch him. It's implied at the end of the manga that Kuroi finally reciprocates Saotome's feelings though we don't get to see how this plays out. | |

In a joke What If? issue which featured a Crossover with Renai Idenshi XX (where the characters live in a Bad Future where men no longer existed), Izumi and Ryouma reject the advances of the women, with Ryouma saying that Izumi is the only one for him and Izumi saying he wants to marry a girl like Lala Lulu. | |

Lightning Can Do Anything | |
Love Stage!! (Manga) / int_65244998 | comment |
Lightning Can Do Anything: In the Extra Stage, an electrical storm broke out across the whole of Tokyo, and switched around the bodies of anyone who happened to be touching. First with Ryouma and Izumi, then Shougo and Rei. Then after Ryouma and Rei are returned to normal, it happens again to Izumi and Shougo. It turns out to be All a Dream, courtesy of Kisaragi. | |

Unrequited Love: Ryouma has been in love with Izumi for ten years and is greatly saddened when he finds out Izumi is a boy, but his feelings remain, but aren't reciprocated. Izumi slowly begins falling for Ryouma and eventually become a couple. It takes Rei ten years to fully reciprocate Shougo's feelings for him and move on from Seiya. | |

Strong Family Resemblance: Shougo is basically the younger version of his dad while Izumi has Nagisa's looks which is evident when he is dressed as a woman. It also helps that the parent they resemble is also how their bangs are styled with Shougo's parting to the right like his father's and Izumi's are towards the left like his mother's. Shougo's resemblance to Seiya is also quite noted in the Back Stage novel. | |

Seme: Shougo and Ryouma.

In the most recent chapter, Izumi decides the best way to win Ryouma back after he gets hypnotized and loses his memories of Izumi, is to study all types of semes and have sex with Ryouma with Izumi as the seme; this finally happens at the end of the manga, though Ryouma hardly feels a thing! | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: In the most recent chapters, Ryouma has forgotten his memories of Izumi due to being hypnotized by Jin to forget about things troubling him when he feels inferior to Izumi's natural acting talent. | |

All Just a Dream: The Extra Stage, courtesy of Kisaragi, who was disappointed he didn't get to see Ryouma take it in the butt. | |

Love Martyr | |
Love Stage!! (Manga) / int_ec40626 | comment |
Love Martyr: Shougo. He falls in love with Rei, despite the fact that Rei is in love with his father, and sticks with Rei because he believes he can make Rei fall in love with him. Rei however is not very willing to let go of his feelings for Seiya, and despite feeling horrible about using Shougo as a Replacement Goldfish continues to do so and at times even manipulates Shougo to do his bidding for no other reason than to make Seiya happy. Even when Rei genuinely begins to fall in love with Shougo, he doesn't acknowledge these feelings until he's almost raped by a stalker. Shougo just accepts it as is because he really loves Rei and wants Rei to be happy. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
Love Stage!! (Manga) / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: Rei distracts Shougo with sex a few times. In one chapter, Shougo wants to go home with Rei, but doesn't want to leave Izumi alone with Ryouma, so he puts Ryouma in handcuffs before leaving. Izumi takes advantage of the handcuffs. Rei wears glasses actually to avoid this, he has perfect vision, but he wears glasses because without them, everyone falls for him and he finds the attention troublesome. | |

Dude, She's Like in a Coma: Downplayed, as it's more like being passed out. Rei doesn't need Shougo awake to feel refreshed. Izumi touching Ryouma at the party after he got really drunk. An earlier chapter also has Ryouma kiss Izumi a few times while he's sleeping. | |

Terrible Artist: Despite wanting to be a mangaka, Izumi's drawing skills are…well, let's say that it sets the bar pretty low. | |
