Anime: Love Stage!! (2014)- ( #ラブ ステージ). The story follows Izumi who was never popular until he started dating the famous actor Ryouma Ichijou, despite his family being in the entertainment industry. In the anime, he appears to be shy and timid, often staying quiet and not talking to anyone while he draws. He doesn't know how to express his feelings when he first meets Ryouma, but soon realizes that he wouldn't be anywhere without Ryouma. At first, he feels a little uncomfortable having "Boys' Love", but then realizes that he loves Ryoma, or as he thinks, more than love, as he says: "Love is not enough". He begins to believe that he is okay if he is not heterosexual, which is true. In the anime, Izumi is happy to get back together with Ryoma after the two start to become very close.
