Today I'm advertising one of my favorite lesser-known mangas : Double by Noda Ayako.



It's a manga that, right now, is five volumes in Japan, and advancing very slowly. Which makes me very sad, because it's one of my faves. Another thing that makes me very sad? It's not selling enough, in France like in the US, but I can at least try to remedy this by advertising.

Kamoshima Yuujin and Takarada Takara are both stage actors, in the same company. They are friends, they are not roommates but not far (they're living in near very small flats and are often eating together).

Yuujin was an actor longer, but Takara has more presence on stage, not to mention he's more conventionally attractive. He also has something undiagnosed (I'd bet for ADD but could be anything) that makes him quite unable to follow a planning or appointments without help, that Yuujin provides. He wants to see Takara becoming a celebrity, because he loves him, but also because he would like the credit for noticing him first. They have a fascinating relationship, mixing friendship, admiration, jealousy and codependency.

If you're wondering: yes there's also some romantic aspect to their relationship, but it's far from being the most important factor, or the most positive factor. Still, it being canon while still very much not being a romance is one of the reasons I love it so much.

Another thing I love about this manga: all the conversations about plays, about acting. I really love manga about art, and here I can believe in it? Whether it's about the differences between playing on stage or for TV, or thinking about mistakes they have made, or analyzing the characters they're playing in the plays themselves, the differences of interpretation that two characters can have with exactly the same text... it sounds right to me. Of course I only ever played as an amateur, but still! I love it!

I also love the art style, even if sometimes the expressions agre exaggerated (not in the exmpla I give though)
