add recGlass Mask and Ashita no Ousama both have to do with life on the stage - just from different perspectives. While Glass Mask focuses on the actor, Ashita no Ousama focuses on the scriptwriter, Sasaya Yuu. They both have a touch of romance, but it's much stronger in Ashita no Ousama. I seriously reccomend Ashita no Ousama to anyone who enjoyed Glass Mask or vice versa.

add recSkip Beat and Ashita no Ousama both have to do with actors, acting, and the stage. While Skip Beat focuses on an actresses journey to stardom, Ashita no Ousama focuses on a scriptwriter and director's path to greatness. They both have romantic elements, Skip Beat with its triangle, and Ashita no Ousama with its octagon, or something resembling a star. I seriously reccomend Ashita no Ousama to anyone who liked Skip Beat or vice versa.
