#stage too

I really like stories about various ?trades? (though for now only through manga/anime), but most of the time either story uses it only as medium for character interaction or dump ton of repeated useless information while abandoning characterization. Anyway, here’s non-exhaustive list of such works: Acting: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (Historical Josei about rakugo, interesting as fuck if you’re into complicated people, acting is deeply tied with characters), Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight (Relathionship with stage, relationship with girls), Kageki shoujo!! (different one, about takarazuka) Jeong-nyeon (poor girl of the 20th century vs korean women theater) Uh, tabletop: 3-gatsu no lion (Shogi, about talented guy who sees his only worth as being a shogi player) Music: Hibike! Euphonium (mostly about something else, but still has its moments, mostly brass), Ao no orchestra  (Talented guy that took a pause at playing violin and a highschool novice), blue giant (jazz, guy finds his passion with saxophone) Anime: Shirobako (about production nightmare, both for original anime and for adaptation), Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! (two girls are passionate about animation, one about money) Agriculture: Gin no Saji (booksmart guy vs. agriculture) Manga: Bakuman (friends make manga), Aa to ka uu shika Ienai (How people make eromanga) Sports: ping pong the animation (if I remember right, talented people who don’t give a fuck and people who do, but without talent), Major (ridiculous plot points, but hey, baseball is here), cross game (not that ridiculous, baseball is still here though) Linguistics: Ishuzoku Gengogaku Nyuumon, more known as Heterogenia Linguistico (it’s fantasy but still very interesting! How creatures with different senses communicate? for obvious reasons, a bitch to translate.) Writing: Fune wo Amu (dictionary, that is. don’t remember shit) Visual arts: Blue period (aimless guy finds his passion with painting)
