Penguin Revolution

"Penguin Revolution" is a manga that has actually already been completed. It's really cute and funny, and I wish it was longer, but I still thought the ending was nice.
        The story basically follows Yukari Fujimaru, a student who has the special ability to see wings on people who have strong star power, meaning they would be successful in the entertainment industry. She has had some ups and downs with her parents. Her mom had left her family some time ago, and her dad often has problems with work and schemes for getting money. Yukari's father has to leave because of some such problems with money, so Yukari has to take care of herself and try and find a job. Yukari . Her friend, Ryou Katsuragi (aka Ryouko) asks Yukari to be his manager at Peacock, an entertainment agency, where Ryou is currently a low ranking actor. Ryou disguises himself as a girl at school because Peacock likes to have the stars' identities kept a secret. Yukari already knows about Ryou's true identity, and agrees to take up the position as his manager. Yukari then starts disguising herself as a guy in order to be Ryou's manager as per the instructions of the head of Peacock. She moves in with Ryou and his room mate, Peacock's #1 star. The manga continues with the progression of Ryou's career and the growth of Ryou and Yukari's friendship, with several adventures along the way.
