Love Stage is a Boys Love manga created by Zaou Taishi and Eiki Eiki that is being currently serialized in Asuka Ciel magazine.
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 want 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, a 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.
