An overpowering male and lotssss of ecchi. Although the male often bullies and mistreat the girl, the girl still runs after him. Weak kind of girl relationship. :P
they are both made by the same mangaka with the same amount of smutty-ness and where the male protagonist has this dominant control over the 'weaker' female protagonist

Aug 2, 200822 of ? chapters read 16 of 23 people found this review helpful Love Celeb is a Shoujo, Smut, Romantic, Comedy which had a great deal of promise. However apart from the great art and sensual romance, there’s nothing particularly outstanding about this manga, except its poor attempt in portraying the entertainment industry.
Kirara Nakazono is a girl who dreams of being a top idol but her career is going no where, then that all changes when a very powerful guy named Ginzou Fujiwara “Gin” develops an interest in her virgin body.... As you’ve a probably guessed, this is another ‘hates him but falls in love with him’ shoujo manga, where our heroine is basically toyed around with. The story about Kirara trying to get into the entertainment industry but ending up as Gin’s object of desire, that in itself was unbelievable. But then things get outrageous when the story begins to tailor more towards the sex-charged romance than to making the entertainment industry premise remotely logical. I really want to know what went through this mangaka’s head during the radical TV Drama chapters?
As for the characters in question; Kirara is your typical weak heroine and is also the source of some amusing comedy. Then there’s the main hero, Gin, who is a very egotistical guy and to top it of he’s cold-hearted and perverted but seems to become very infatuated with our heroine. There are other characters that seem to come and go as they please, not to mention those making cameo appearances from Mayu Shinjo’s other works.
Just like most of the people reading this manga, I found the artwork to best thing about it. The main characters are all consistently well drawn, including most of the side characters and a lot of the girls reading this will certainly enjoy seeing Gin all hot & bothered and in cute chibi form. The panels with any background scenery are fairly scarce; nonetheless when the backgrounds are shown it’s usually very well-drawn.
Overall Love Celeb is really a manga that I have mixed feelings of. The smutty romance is pretty good, along with the comedy and so are Kirara’s struggles to become an idol. However the story kinda sucks, as a lot of the sudden developments will leave anyone in disbelief. What’s worse is how badly the heroine is treated (beaten, almost raped, etc.), so feminist or just anyone who hates seeing a girl without a backbone should steer clear of this one.
*Be warned, there's a lot of sexual content.*
