Topic on How Much Backstage Prince Sucks.

[Asano Rain]

I agree, I didn't like Backstage Prince at all and rejoiced when it ended its run in Shojo Beat (same with Yume Kira Dream Shoppe, actually). -___-+

I thought it had mediocre characters, a mediocre, cookie-cutter romance (with the difference of having a Kabuki background, which was admittedly the most interesting part of this manga), and mediocre artwork. In short, everything was mediocre and it excelled in nothing particular.

It's true that there are many high school romance stories that follow the same, formulaic pattern, but those are rather stale too unless it has something that's redeeming about it, be it excellent characters, great artwork, etc. There are manga that I love for no explainable reason... sadly, Backstage Prince is not one of them.

The only thing about this manga that made it remotely readable to me was the fact that Kabuki was used as a backdrop, other than that, trash pile or bathroom reading material.

Well.
I gotta disagee me and my friend like Backstage prince. The story was cute and Akari was cute. she was actully a girl i liked in a shojo for once cause mostly the girls in Shojo's annoy me. but she was really sweet and she stood up for what she belived in. she was a great herione. as far as the story goes. i liked how it went into Kabuki Theartor. i liked it that's all i gotta say.

It was a cute story~ to me anyway.

Mabye it was a rushed story because it was a one shot. it could have. spread to about 5 manga's.
i found that it being 2. shortned it to much

I agree. I normally don't like manga heroines either, but Akari was nice 3nodding
