The series is short, only being 10 episodes plus one bonus 11th episode.
I bought the series on sale and it was really worth what I paid for it. So what do I think about this series? I loved it.
And, of course, our introverted cute Izumi discovering his feelings for Ryouma. That it isn’t the “woman” he was becomming facinated with but the person that Izumi was.Ī long story short, as I don’t want to ruin the anime for anyone interested, most of that I said is in the first couple of episodes, the story tales of the two people, in the public eye due to Ryouma being a celebrity as well discovering their dreams and futures. When revealed to be a boy, Ryouma is put off, but…slowly realizes he doesn’t care. Regardless, Izumi gets to cross-dress to reprise his role in the commercial and Ryouma falls in love at first sight. While Izumi could have it easy and become an actor like his mom, he wants to be a manga writer (but he sucks at drawing). Izumi is an anime nerd so he’s like a little, cute, insert of anime fans being represented in anime. Except, Ryouma doesn’t not Izumi is a boy.
Seems Ryouma fell in love with this idea of this girl and when they’re to reshoot an anniversary shoot of the TV advertisment, everyone gets back together. His co-child actor at the time, our second protag, Ryouma, became obsessed over this ideal cute addorible girl. Not only that, when he was little, he was used as a stand-in for a TV commercial and dressed up like a girl. So even the “handsom men” are very pretty but our main character, Izumi, just happens to be CUTE. Even our main character’s dad is a pretty boy, though married to a hot chick.
Series is full of a lot of very pretty male characters most of whom are single. So, anyway, “Love Stage” acts like a typical BL anime. I think that’s enough of a disclaimer for those that don’t know the difference.
So calling all BL anime “yaoi” is incorrect and is like calling every romance movie pornography. On the other hand, the token word “yaoi” that people use to represent the genre, is the **clears throat** graphic pointless sex novels of two men being together. A great deal of the anime genre as a whole is just normal shounen-ai, which are normally story-based (a lot of romance comedies) about two men getting together in the end.
To get a small note to why this series not “yaoi”, BL has sub-genres inside of the genre.
If you’re put off by this, then feel free to quit reading. Basically, it’s all Homo-Erotica Male/Male romance. You see, I’ve been a “”yaoi” fan” for year but, technically, the better term would be that I was a fan of the Boy’s Love genre of anime/manga. So I need to preface this before continuing.
