Kageki Shojo!!

Kumiko Saiki’s manga series, published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment from 2021 onward, follows a troupe of aspiring actresses at a prestigious all-girls music school in Kyoto, blending intense theatrical training with personal drama. The story centers on an unlikely pair—a former idol and a withdrawn, towering girl—as they navigate rivalry, friendship, and the demanding world of Takarazuka-style performance. Translated by Katrina Leonoudakis, the series is notable for its nuanced character work and behind-the-scenes look at Japanese stage life.
