Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Sachimo. Translated by Adrienne Beck. For these two typecast actors, love can't always be black or white. Shin is an actor whose awkward personality has gotten him typecast as the villain, whereas his secret lover Shige garners all the prime princely roles. As their careers advance, can these two endure all eyes being on them not just in public but in private too? Shin is a brand-new actor unfairly typecast as a villain, and Shige, his secret lover since college, is a rising star who often gets the role of the heartthrob good guy. With Shige's popularity on the rise and Shin's awkward personality making him resemble the villains he plays, the two can't risk being seen together for fear of tainting Shige's image. And to complicate matters further, their relationship has lacked physical intimacy since their disastrous first time together. Every good role needs its conflict, but will this couple call it a wrap when an antagonist enters the scene? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 162 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $12.99.
