Both stories are about young man falling in love with a girl, who just happens to be a bit of celebrity. Iori Yoshizuki wants to be an actress while Suzuka Asahina is an athlete. Both series take place in high school and a bit in university. In both cases lead male has the best friend, who happens to be a real pervert. In both mangas there's also a great deal of secondary characters - classmates and so. Both boys place their girlfriend's happiness above all else and put much work into it. Suzuka could be called I''S++ (better version :P) if not for lack of Katsura ecchi drawing style. It isn't the same mangaka after all, but it's fun. The story is much more complicated. Relationship is not about confessing at last like in case od Ichitaka and Iori XD Yamato confessed to Suzuka quite a few times and not only to Suzuka. And it wasn't so obvious to me, how Suzuka feels about Yamato - this girls isn't easilly understood. Reading I''S I always knew, what Ichitaka should do while reading Suzuka there was a moment when I hesistated - and I'm 30! Quite a task for a boy this young to be handling problems of this caliber on his own. There's a possibility of a sequel too! If you can handle I''S without Katsura style but with much better story - Suzuka should suit you nicely. I really liked it!
