Love Stage!!, Vol. 6 (6)

The cliffhanger set up in the  Love Stage!!, Vol. 5 , with Ryoma and Izumi trapped in the wilderness, isn’t played out as significantly as I hoped. However, the second half recalls a key part of Izumi’s personality that I’d almost forgotten about, one that puts the boys into a charming situation.First, though, the boys are missing, and everyone’s worried. The couple gets a sex scene, but emotionally, we spend more time with the older Shogo (Izumi’s brother) and Rei (the family’s manager) as they reassure each other. Thankfully, the rescue and the resulting deep feelings are played for comedy, which is in keeping with the welcome silliness of the series.The element I liked about Izumi that we hadn’t heard about in a while was his ridiculous desire to be a manga creator. He loves the idea so much, but he’s so immensely unqualified for it in every possible way. I know it’s easy for manga creators to make manga about making manga, but here, it fits into the entertainment world setting as yet another option.Izumi’s artistic failure (as we’ve seen before) is brought home drastically when he gets an apprenticeship, but it also provides a charming opportunity for Ryoma to demonstrate the depth of his feelings for him, by working to share his boyfriend’s interests. It’s a hilarious combination of fame in different fields. Izumi even finds a way to wind up contributing in a situation that calls back to the first volume.

~3.5/5We get the conclusion to the amnesia plot line here, and unsurprisingly the happy make up between Ryoma and Izumi. There's some sexy stuff here, and a lot of sweet moments. They exclaim their undying love to each other over and over.It's over the top, but I still really enjoy it. I think they're cute, and it's not too exaggerated so as not to be too much.After that, Izumi gets to be an assistant to his favorite manga-ka. Here, we get to see how useless he really is in making a manga. He's honestly awful at it, and it's also not a surprise that Ryoma is quite good at it. Since they're both quite busy working, they have to work around their schedules to make time to see each other.I actually love Rei and Sho even more than Ryoma and Izumi. I seriously find them adorable and I want to read their story, if there is one. We get at least two scenes between them in this volume, including a super adorable one at the beginning, that I am just in love with.This series is an easy, cute and sexy romance. I usually enjoy each volume more than I expect to, and am looking forward to the next.[More of my reviews are available on my blog, Geeky Reading, to which there's a link on my profile.]

This is one of the sweetest yaoi I have ever read. Very humorous and saucy. The characters are so well written they seem familiar. They grow with the story, which stays fairly grounded.

Obviously not for kids or young teens. Parents beware!

I loved this series but the only reason why this isn’t a five star is because the cover print was off center and very noticeable when you have the manga series line up in a shelf.

OMG it's just keep getting better and better and better great 👍 job 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌 🙌

Wonderful development in this volume. When will Sensei's complete works be available on the kindle? I look forward to purchasing even more manages on kindle.

Another awesome book from Eiki ! I can't wait for the next one to come out soon! I very curious as to what will happen next for this wonderful couple.

Saw the anime, wondered "hmm, would the manga be much different" so I went ahead and bought it. Glad I did, the anime stopped just when it was getting good, the manga has no hesitations.

It was great edition to the book series, I really enjoyed it, I look forward to the next book

watched the animee and enjoyed reading it too

Love this series so much! The characters are all so likeable and the story arcs are fun and captivating! Love the rei and shogo short stories too!

Great story. Love the series
