Act-age. Vol. 1

The fact notwithstanding that this version was in a language that I could effortlessly read, this was actually a pretty good edition of a book I already have in its original form.

Mangas that revolve around the acting industry are one of my absolute favourite tropes!

An interesting start that definitely needs a second volume. What we’re given here seems like the beginnings of a cautionary tale about how something you are truly gifted at might be the absolute worst thing for you to pursue in life. Kei is raising her two siblings and also wants to be an actor. It t Leggi tutto
