First things first, Act-Age has been cancelled because the author - Tatsuya Matsuki - got arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two teenage girls. Yes, he is disgusting.This mangá was serialized by the famous Weekly Shonen Jump and published by Shueisha. starting in January 2018 and cancelled in August of this year, 2020, with 123 chapters and 12 volumes released in tankobon.Now, let's go to the review.
Yes, i hate this mangá, I HATE ACT-AGE . I'm writing this right after i finished the reading, so... maybe i'm too excited, i don't know, but i need to unburden my angry somewhere. And sorry for the mistakes (i'm brazilian).There's no enormous spoilers, just a few tiny "spoilers" at item 4 and 5, so you're warned.

first, my thoughts about this mangá:
- the story of this mangá is absolutelly perfect, you may think that i'm exaggerating because its briefly the story about a girl who wants to become an actress, cause i t thought that too, "how a story about acting could be good?", but NO, definitively NO, is an absurd how this mangá is well done, the characters and their developments are simply magnificent, primarily Yonagi, the protagonist, she could've been one of the best main characters of all mangás for me, so charismatic, so human (in the same an absolute monster at acting), so well rounded, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa WHAT A WASTE OF POTENCIAL!
- the art, the art is gorgeous, it's really beautiful, you can discern things by the details, very unique, the expressions of the characters are boosted by that, and facilitate the reading, it's like if this art was made for that mangá, you can see what they're feeling in that exactly moment, if they are intimidated, feared, excited, angry, happy, the trait can pass everything genuinally.
- the characters are very charismatic and well developed, you love every one, cause the main character, Yonagi, is so simple and true, and because of that every one likes her, she is genuine, honest, and a monster at acting. Kei can change any person, you learn with her of how she see the world and that's brillant, all the actors and normal persons that appears in Act-Age changed a little bit in reason of her.
- the arcs, it's one better then the other, there's not a single bad chapter. The first big arc, the "Death Island", when Yonagi learns how a true actress (Chiyoko) do her work, very good arc, already caught my attention. After, the "Night of Galactic Railroad" arc, that arc, was phenomenal, magnificent, wonderful, the timing of the sad scenes acting with the real play, the development of Kei and the introducing of those 2 characters, Iwao and Araya, it was by far one of the best arcs i ever read, at that point i already felt that this mangá is unique. And i thought that this arc couldn't be surpassed, but... (continuation at item 3)
- the Princess Iron Fan arc has arrived. THE PRINCESS IRON FAN ARC. That was simply the definition of MASTERPIECE, i never >>never<< felt so immersed in a mangá, book, anime, any work that i consumed in my life, any fighting shounen, not even One Piece that i think it's a masterpiece made me feel that. In this arc, i felt all the emotions that Yonagi felt too, the angry, the fear, everything was fascinating, it's like if I was in the theater watching her to act and in the same time knowing what she was feeling. And this all just because of 1 woman... Hanako, the director, that bitch; i felt the angry traveling throught Yonagi, it wasn't human what she has done to Kei telling that thing right before the show begins... But thank's to that, when the protagonist, THE PROTAGONIST, JUST KEI YONAGI entered the scene, it was simply wonderful, gorgeous and in the same time terryfing, i felt the fear that the spectators were feeling, it was phenomenal, i never gonna forget that sensation, i can't describe that genuinally, just masterpiece.


and, i hate this mangá because:
- it could've been a masterpiece, as you can see through my review and the summary jkavsdnfajfn.
- the author is a piece of garbage, how does a shit person like him can write this brillant mangá.
- the mangá were entering in an arc with Satsuki, that cute little girl, and now we never gonna be able to read this...
- we're not gonna see Yonagi and Chiyoko becoming the most wonderful actress of the world, the two best friends and rivals.
- we're not gonna see those beautiful color pages again.
- WE'RE NOT GONNA SEE THE FILM MADE BY KUROYAMA AND STARED BY YONAGI AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT A WASTE OF POTENCIAL!
- the chances of receiving an anime is almost zero.

Now seriously, Act-age had potencial to become a masterpiece, what a waste of talent, and don't, DON'T read Act-age, i know that i only praised this mangá, but your gonna feel so annoyed in the end cause you know that probably never gonna end... that's my recommendation, i'm warning.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ANGRY
<code>"oh... i'm so angry... so angry..."</code>
