The critically acclaimed shojo manga about the drama of all-women musical theater! (And don't miss the anime adaptation!) Watanabe Sarasa has always dreamed of being an otokoyaku, an actress who plays male roles in an all-female theater troupe. Narata Ai also has a dream: the disgraced former idol wants to live in a world full of women and not have to deal with men at all. When they both get into a competitive all-girls theater school, the stage is set for Ai and Sarasa to enter the limelight and take their first step toward stardom.

Praise for Kageki Shojo!! The Curtain Rises

"Kageki Shojo!! The Curtain Rises is a real treat: a drama that consistently resists the urge to indulge in histrionics, a shoujo-style manga that draws from tradition while remaining fresh and modern, a tale set in a harsh world without reveling in that harshness." --Caitlin Moore, Anime News Network
 
"...there's plenty of drama, including story lines about bulimia and childhood sexual abuse. The art has a retro feel, with occasional visual allusions to "Rose of Versailles," and the characters' faces and gestures are very expressive, even when drawn simply. Besides being a cracking good soap opera, this manga offers interesting tidbits about Japanese theater." --Brigid Alverson, School Library Journal

"If you like Takarazuka, or Shoujo drama, sports manga, or frankly, pretty much anything at all, do give Kageki Shojo!! The Curtain Rises a try. It's a great production of a manga." --Erica Friedman, Okazu
