    Review:

    PLOT

    Adapted from Porno Superstar, the ongoing manga, Shiny Star’s focuses on the AV actor, Hikaru, and his current rival, Masaya, who decides to dive into this business after watching a video with Hikaru in it.

    After that moment, Masaya becomes obsessed with having sex with Hikaru, considering taking the same career the most efficient way to achieve his dream.

    Even as a newbie, Masaya already causes an awesome impression on people working in this market. The only one who seems annoyed by his natural talent and attitude is Hikaru himself. But persistent Masaya won’t give up his obsession that easily though.


    THE CHARACTERS

    Hikaru, being the shiny AV star, is self-centered, arrogant and spoiled. On the other hand, his a top professional, giving all of himself to work and helping his co-workers do their best as well. He seems to have a secret about his past as an AV actor but that’s just a guess, based on Hikaru’s actions.

    Masaya’s a very straightforward and determined man who seems able to go to any lenghts to get what he desires. His strong will and objectiveness don’t fail to impact Hikaru greatly.


    THE ARTWORK

    Both Masaya and Hikaru are gorgeous men. Typical bishies, I’d say, with their beautiful faces and slim bodies. The backgrounds look simple and uncluttered, which is a plus to me. The pages are clean-looking and pleasing to go through. My only complaint being Hikaru’s obvious passion for cowboy hats but I guess that comes to illustrate his arrogant personality.


    CONCLUSION

    Though I totally wouldn’t skip Porno Superstar, Shiny Star is 100% recommended even if you don’t intend to or haven’t read the previous manga yet.

    Good reading!

    Great review: clear, direct, and subheadings!

    At first I thought I was missing something, but it hit me on the second read: no spoilers. That's pretty hard to do, yet still get across a good sense of the store and style. Well done, and if my watch/read list weren't approached mid-double-digits (yes, that means in the 30s or so!), I would definitely check this manga out. (I still might...)

    Yeah, please don't skip Porno Superstar. I translated it. I really wish this title had more smut in it, but alas~ I'll take what I can get. Love the review!
