LOVE STAGE!! Live-Action BL Film's Full Trailer Confirms October 2 Release

The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Eiki Eiki and Taishi Zaou's boys love manga LOVE STAGE!! has started streaming a 90-second full trailer to announce its new release date of October 2, 2020. The clip also features the film's theme song "LOVE STAGE" performed by BREAKERZ.

The three-member band's vocalist DAIGO is a younger brother of the manga author Eiki. Also, he reprises his role as Shogo Sena in the live-action film. He previously voiced the character in the manga's TV anime adaptation in 2014.

The 84-minute boys love film was originally set for June 5 but has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It will open in the Cine Libre Ikebukuro theater in Tokyo on October 2, 2020, then on the Cine Libre Umeda in Osaka one week later.

Full trailer:

Eiki's original manga was serialized in KADOKAWA's bimonthly boys love-themed digital manga magazine CIEL from its July 2010 to September 2016 issues, then compiled in seven tankobon volumes. The first volume of the manga's three-volume "perfect edition" including newly-drawn materials will be also available from KADOKAWA one day before the film's release.

The story centers on Izumi Sena (Mahiro Sugiyama), who was born in a family of celebrities. His father is a singer, his mother an artist, his older brother the lead vocalist for the popular band Crashers. Izumi himself, however, is just a nerdy college student. He loves the manga "Magical Girl Lala Lulu" and dreams of becoming a manga writer himself. One day he is roped into filming a commercial where he wears a dress. Another actor on the set, Ryoma Ichijo (Hiroki Nakada), mistakes him for a woman and falls in love at first sight. As it turns out, though, they met ten years in the past. And Ryoma's feelings don't change when he finds out Izumi is a boy.
