The couple is ever so chaotic. I laughed out loud when Saotome-sensei fainted when Ryouma came, kneeling, begging him to be an assistant too. And lol, that was such a sweet (and hilarious, lol) moment when Ryouma has mastered the art of being a mangaka assistant because he wanted to support Izumi's mangaka journey. Ryouma, then, sort of proposed to Izumi, but the latter has to think more about it.

Also, Izumi has a stalker who knows where he lives, so Rei was driven to a corner to make his choice, which is to let Izumi live with Ryouma for the foreseeable future. Lol, the gods are in Ryouma's favor although the situation is a bit twisted.

Also, Rei and Shougo's shrine visit 😩

This volume cemented my fondness for the series by remembering that Izumi's goal was never to be in show business - he wanted to be a manga artist. Yes, he put that aside, but dreams are not so easily forgotten, and when he gets a chance to go back to his original goal, he jumps at it. Everyone's bafflement that the Izumi, successful actor, would give all that up to do something he's awful at also shows us that at the end of the day, Ryoma's the one who knows him best: he's the only person who unreservedly believes that Izumi should do what makes him happy.



...even if he's a god-awful artist.

Izumi y Ryoma tuvieron una gran discusión justo antes de comenzar a grabar su nuevo dorama y el resultado fue que Ryoma no lograra concentrase en su actuación. Es por ello que el director le propuso hipnotizarlo para que lograra olvidar sus problemas, pero al hacerlo lo único que logró olvidar fue a Izumi. Él no sabe cómo reaccionar a esto pues Ryoma siempre ha estado ahí para él.

Pero al final decide que lo tendrá de vuelta y se propone volver a enamorarlo, sin saber que será ardua su tarea pues Ryoma parece huir de él en cada momento. No es hasta que ambos tienen un accidente donde caen por un barranco donde por fin se quedan solos e Izumi aprovecha para recordarle a Ryoma todo lo que tenían juntos.
Aún si no llego a recordar… podremos empezar de nuevo.
Este penúltimo tomo sin duda se ha convertido en mi favorito de este manga, y es que ya saben que nunca he visto de forma equitativa la relación entre Ryoma e Izumi pues siempre pienso que Ryoma de más del 100 mientras que Izumi… bien, pues es Izumi. Pero ahora con Ryoma perdiendo los recuerdos la cosa se pone mucho más pareja pues ahora es Izumi quien tiene que entregar el 100 para volver a recuperarlo. Creo que ha sido un verdadero acierto del autor por fin darle equilibrio a la historia y aunque tardó un poco sí que ha valido la pena. Y cuando Ryoma por fin recupera la memoria las cosas se tornan más equitativas y ambos dan el amor que merecen.

Y sip, Ryoma vuelve a ser un verdadero amor, sobre todo cuando para pasar un poco de tiempo al lado de Izumi decide unirse a este al trabajo de ser aprendiz de mangaka. Debo decirles que esto de verdad me da mucha risa, pues aunque Izumi ahora es toda una celebridad que ha conquistado todos los corazones de Japón, el sigue necio en seguir el sueño de ser mangaka, aunque en realidad carezca de talento para hacerlo. Su lucha para ser mangaka de verdad que es la cosa más divertida del mundo.


Regresando al asunto del amor, durante todo el manga hemos tenido pequeñas escenas que indican que entre Rei (el manager de la familia Sena) y Shojo (hermano mayor de Izumi) hay algo más que una mera relación laboral y en este tomo por fin esas sospechas quedan confirmadas cuando don dos historias extras el autor nos cuenta lo bien que las personalidades disparejas de estos dos parecen encajar más que bien.
Estas historias me han hecho muy feliz pues siempre quise saber que escondían (o no tanto) este par.

Peligro para Izumi. Ryoma es tan romántico y muy enamorado de Izumi. Me encantó la parte de Saotome Sensei.

Love Stage is one heck of an adorable yaoi manga! I usually stay away from M/M books but decided to read it anyway. And what a fun read.

The leads had acted together as kids in a wedding sequence. One of them grows up to become a typical heterosexual hunk and celebrity. The other one who belongs to a family popular actors, never went into acting because he looks just too much like a girl.

Imagine the surprise when both of them meet again with the hunk having no idea that the other guy's the girl he happened to have acted with as a child. Thus starts the roller coaster ride of cuteness.



I kept giggling throughout the manga and had great fun reading it.

Izumi & Ryoma are still missing and spending some quality time together, while Rei & Shogo worries. The duo is rescue and are back on the filming set. Ryoma ask his direction to hypnotize him again so he can regain his memories.
After a couple try, nothing seems to work, but the actor promises Izumi that he will not give up on him. Shogo, the overprotective brother interferes and hit Ryoma on the head. Well, this do the trick! The two boys apologize and finally make up after their fight. They also finish filming their tv show.
With all this drama I almost forgot that Izumi is still an otaku. His friend from school invite him to the advance screening of Lalalulu movie, where he meets his idol, Mr Satome and manage to become his assistant.
Since they both have pretty busy schedule, Ryoma ask Izumi to live with him, and this is practically a marriage demand. Rei use this as an advantage and push Izumi to stay at Ryoma’s place since the young actor have a stalker fan.
The ending features two short stories about Rei & Shogo relation, those are fun & cute, but not necessary for the plot.

Another adorably cute volume. After falling off a cliff together, Izumi and Ryoma find shelter and after letting their bodies do the talking finally patch things up. Once back to civilization, Kisaragi attempts to hypnotise Ryoma into remembering but fails. However his memory soon returns when Shogo cuffs him over the head. After meeting his idol manga ka Satome, Izumi manages to get a job with him. He's terrible, but Ryoma wanting to spend more time with Izumi jumps on the team and what's more he's really competent and helps Izumi improve. Ryoma looks to the future and asks Izumi to move in with him. Izumi is reluctant but Rei forces the issue when a stalker begins making threats and Rei wants Ryoma to protect him.

I love how supportive and patient Ryoma is in this one. There's also lots of Shogo/Rei. Wonderful guilty pleasure.

Stiamo toccando dei livelli di trash che mai avrei immaginato.
Partendo dal presupposto che il modo in cui è stato risolto il problema dell'amnesia nato nel volume precedente è la cosa più idiota che potessi leggere tra queste pagine, se la mangaka voleva far convivere questi due poveri scemi poteva trovare un modo più originale. Ma dove siamo finiti, dentro una puntata di Beautiful? Ci mancava giusto .
Ora voglio proprio vedere come va a finire 'sta boiata, anche se tanto già lo immagino.

"Entendí lo duro que es amar a alguien sin ser correspondido. Y lo triste que es un rechazo"...

Ryoma ha recuperado la memoria, así que de nuevo deberán ajustar sus agendas para pasar tiempos juntos.

Por lo que por alguna manera terminan trabajando como asistentes del mangaka de Lala Lulu, lo que representa un problema para el equipo de Saotome, ya que Izumi es malísimo para el trabajo, pero Ryoma resulta ser muy bueno en ello después de ayudar a Izumi con su boceto jeje

El problema ahora radica en un fan obsesionado con Izumi. Así que Reí busca una manera de ponerlo a salvo.

Parental advisory:
Sexual situations and dialogue.
*Review in progress*
The ending of this volume was rushed.
A lot more could have happened especially in regards to Izumi and Ryoma's acting career.
This series is definitely not for anyone who genuinely cares about the career aspects of Love Stage nor anyone who wants to read proper character development or twists.
The only praise I could give this story is that the artwork is vibrant and pretty and that Izumi's interactions with Ryoma were often cute.

At first I only have watch the anime so the fact that the story continued shocked me a little bit, but in a good way. It's true that I found it kinda inecessary but it was a great great adition (except for the "love triangle part") I was kind of unsure if there was going to be enough space to conclude in a good way the new problem that the author was proposing, but it did ans it showed us another new face of Izumi and how much he apreciates Ryoma.

Me ha gustado bastante el tomo, aunque me sigue pareciendo surrealista cosas que hace Izumi y que no compaginan nada con su trabajo,por otro lado, Ryoma cada vez me ca emejor porque le vemos darlo todo por Izumi y el desenlace final me dan ganas de terminar ya con el último todo. Además me ha gustado mucho que nos metan escenas de otros dos personajes que ha mi me gustan mucho

For me personally, the best thing about this volume (other than the cute extras between Shougo and my fav character Rei), was the focus on Izumi being a manga assistant. I was worried that Izumi would get caught up in showbiz, and forget all about his original dream of being a mangaka, so it made me really happy when that plotline came into play. Now onto the finale!!!

Ok, lo ammetto: la parte dove Izumi e Ryoma si trasformano in assistenti di un mangaka è divertentissima. E Ryoma è un grande!

Per fortuna la parte dell'ipnosi è finita perché era ancora meno credibile del resto. E adesso c'è anche uno stalker, giusto per non farci mancare nulla.

Va beh, ormai manca un solo volume.

Oh this was such a sweet volume!! A quick hit over the head and all the memories come back!! I especially love Izumi continuing to chase his passion even though he sucks at it. And how Ryoma supports him and follows him to the manga office!! Also the secondary couple getting together!! Shall we throw a party for that!!!!!!

Does it have bad BL plot points? Yeah, but thats honestly what im here for. A stalker is new but make sense for the series. What i didn't really expect was bringing up the manga plot line again so hard, mostly since it really just seemed like a spot to laugh at his hobby and that he looks cute dressed as a girl once again

As always Eiki Eiki still keeps the secence of the previous volumes it's still good as the other ones. The only thing that is different is the way the story and our characters have develop. But at some point it's starting to feel a little like stuffing parts.

I love Izumi and Ryoma! I'm so glad Ryoma got his memory back as I couldn't deal with last volumes heartache. However the couple couldn't be more romantic and moving forward in this volume! Heres to the next one.

No vengas con palabrería rara, aunque intentes justificarlo Eso es Acoso, punto. Que los otros no quieren que los toques, coño. Haz bien tu trabajo y no hagas sentir incomoda a la gente che.

Por otro lado...

Ya lo decía Clark Kent, usado lentes nadie te reconoce.

Fluffy and predictable, but still charming. I like that the storyline doesn't forget Izumi's dream of becoming a manga artist, and that Ryoma persists in supporting him as best he can.
