The Square Enix-published BL manga Love’s Just an Act, which follows a struggling 30+ actor and his younger, up-and-coming co-star, is now on MANGA Up! Global.
The Chiyoko Origami title is the latest manga from the Gangan BLiss label to join the English manga service. Its predecessors include Love in the Palm of His Hand, A Howl of the Heart, and Code of Misconduct.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Thirty-something actor Taniguchi Makoto finally thinks he’s caught a break when he’s unexpectedly chosen for a lead role—only to learn it’s for a BL drama! To prepare for the role, he’s told to move in with his co-star, the popular young heartthrob, Amamiya Chiyaki. On TV, Chiaki is all rainbows and sunshine, but off-camera, his true self is surprisingly cold—and there’s a deeper reason for it… Prepare for cozy domestic moments in this sweet romance between an older struggling actor and a younger tsundere star!
Love’s Just an Act (Shibai to Yobu ni wa Koi sugiru) debuted on GANGAN Online in October 2024. A tankobon volume was released in June 2025 under the GANGAN Comics BLiss label.
