GagaOOLala gave this description of the story:

“Love Stage!! follows the life of Izumi Sena, your average, everyday boy who’s miraculously born into your not-so-average family of celebrity parents and siblings. With a mother who’s an artist, a father who’s a singer and an elder brother who’s literally a rockstar, Sena wishes to do nothing with the entertainment industry and instead yearns to become a successful manga creator. An otaku, nerdy college student, Izumi is reluctantly made to star in a television commercial where he’s required to wear a dress and act opposite to the other actor on set, the dashing Ryoma Ichijo. It’s an instant case of love at first sight for Ryoma who mistakes Izumi for a woman. But as fate would have it, Ryoma soon realizes that Izumi is the same person he met ten years ago and has held feelings for him right since the day he set eyes on Izumi. However, Ryoma’s feelings for Izumi doesn’t seem to change despite him ultimately realizing that Izumi is actually a boy and not the girl he thought he was.”

Love Stage!! has also received an anime adaptation released in America by Sentai. The original manga is released by SuBLime.
