I've read Nodame Cantabile (technically josei, I know ) I'm no Angel (okay a gender bender but he's an actor balancing school life and that which make it interesting) Skip Beat Mars (doesn't revolve around the arts but Kira in an artist so even something like that would be fine) NANA (technically I watched the anime and read some of the manga ) um... I can't think of what else I've read at the moment. I'm watching La Corda d'Oro right now, thus the request Thanks for you help (PS It's easter holidays and I really have nothing else to do so even if you can't think of anything arts related ANYTHING shoujo/romance would be great!! ^__^))

As much as it pains me: Love Celeb Kaikan Phrase <--- both by Shinjo Mayu, awfully 'smutty' and well, clichéd. Hope it helps. ________________ Current avatar features Badou from Dogs.

I've read most of Love Celeb and Kaiken Phrase when I was going through my 'read as much smut as possible' phase... I'm not sure why I had that phase or why I'm admitting to having it... anyway... I've also read most of W-Juilet but it just sort of seemed dragged out after a while to me. Anyway, thank again ^_^!!!
