No manga version exists for 'Straight Up' currently. I've looked through major manga platforms and publisher catalogs without finding any trace of an adaptation. While disappointing for fans hoping to see the story in manga form, this isn't uncommon for many original works. Sometimes stories are better suited to their original medium. If you want manga with comparable themes, 'Our Dreams at Dusk' explores personal journeys in a similarly thoughtful way.
I can confidently say that 'Straight Up' doesn't have an official manga adaptation or spin-off. The original work seems to remain solely in its initial format, which is a shame because its premise could translate beautifully into manga form. I've scoured Japanese publishing databases and fan communities, and there's no record of any manga version being planned or released.
That said, there are several manga with similar vibes that might scratch the itch for fans. 'Blue Flag' explores complex relationships with a nuanced approach, while 'Given' delivers emotional storytelling about finding one's path. If you're looking for something that captures the essence of 'Straight Up' in manga form, these might be worthwhile alternatives. The lack of a manga adaptation could be due to licensing issues or the creators' preference to keep the story in its original medium.
From what I've gathered through extensive reading and forum discussions, 'Straight Up' hasn't branched out into manga territory. This surprises me because the story's themes would lend themselves well to visual storytelling. I've checked with several manga publishers' upcoming release lists and found no mention of it. There's always a chance someone might create a doujinshi (fan-made manga) based on it, but nothing official exists at this time. Fans hoping for a manga version might have to content themselves with similar works like 'Sasaki and Miyano' which captures some of the same emotional beats.
After checking with my circle of manga-collecting friends and digging through recent releases, I can confirm there's no manga version of 'Straight Up'. The original creator hasn't announced any plans for manga adaptation either. It's possible the story's format doesn't translate well to sequential art, or maybe the rights haven't been acquired by any manga publishers. If you're craving similar content, 'I Hear the Sunspot' offers a touching story about unexpected connections, though it's not exactly the same.

Alessandro Romano has it all money, power, and a future already planned for him. In a few days, he’s getting engaged to the perfect woman. At least, that’s what the world sees.
But Alessandro is living a lie. He has never loved a woman. He has never even wanted to. And the night before his engagement, one kiss with a stranger makes him feel more alive than ever.
That stranger? Micah Hartwell. His soon-to-be fiancée’s older brother.
Micah is everything Alessandro isn’t: bold, unafraid, and tired of hiding. Their connection is dangerous, messy, and impossible to ignore. But secrets have a way of surfacing.
Sandra, the bride-to-be, is hiding something too. She knows Alessandro’s truth and she’s using it. The engagement is fake. Love is fake. But the damage? That’s very real.
When everything blows up in public, Alessandro has to choose between the life he was raised for… and the love he never saw coming.
He Said He’s Straight is a story about lies, love, freedom, and the fire it takes to be yourself even when the whole world says you can’t.
His cold hand gently brushed my cheek as he turned my head to expose my neck.
I flinched when his lips met my skin.
"Relax," he murmured. "It will only hurt more if you are tense."
I tried to steady my breathing just as his fangs sank into my neck.
I gasped.
But the sharp pain quickly melted into that same strange pleasure from before.
The heat that flooded my entire body pooled in my groin.
My teeth clamped down on my lower lip to stop myself from making any embarrassing sounds. But a soft moan escaped anyway.
Jude pulled back slightly with blood—my blood—on his lips.
"You seem to be enjoying this," he smirked before glancing down at my bulge.
My face burned with shame as I realized then that I was hard.
"It's not... I don't..."
"Your body can't lie, Raymond."
He leaned back and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"And neither does mine."
***
All Raymond White wanted was a dream job, and he got a once-in-a-lifetime offer from the biggest company in the city. But he didn’t expect that it would come at a costly price—His blood, his body, and his sanity.
His boss, Jude Perez, was no ordinary man—he was a vampire, and now that he had set his fangs in Raymond, he didn’t want to let go.
Bound by a contract and a mystical pact, Raymond becomes Jude’s latest obsession, and Raymond is left to battle with the wave of arousal that comes with each bite, one that could only be quelled by the man he who stripped him of his freedom?
Will Raymond resist the forbidden bond? Or will he succumb to Jude’s temptation?

Dropped Into a NSFW Novel and Immediately Became His Obsession

I woke up inside a novel, and not even as an important character.
I became a pretty background extra in a smut novel.
My brother, however, was the only normal person in the entire story.
His character setting was the one man the soft, delicate heroine could never win over.
He was the cold, unattainable Prince Charming she could never conquer.
When the heroine cried and confessed her love, he was studying.
When she offered him her whole heart and body, he was busy starting a company.
When she spiraled into scandals and nightlife, he was already a billionaire, calm and untouchable.
I thought he would live a quiet, ascetic life forever.
Until one night, I walked in on him at midnight…
holding a piece of clothing I recognized all too well, murmuring a name over and over, a name so familiar that my scalp tingled.
one studio that consistently delivers high-quality live-action movies is Warner Bros. Japan. They recently announced they're adapting 'One Piece' into a live-action series, but their track record with films like 'Rurouni Kenshin' proves they understand the source material. Another studio to watch is Legendary Pictures, which is working on a live-action 'Gundam' movie. These studios have the budget and creative vision to do justice to beloved franchises.
I'm particularly excited about Sony Pictures' adaptation of 'Ghost in the Shell,' though it’s a bit controversial among fans. The key is finding studios that respect the original work while bringing something new to the table.
it's such a witty, sharp take on academia. While the novel itself is a gem, I haven't come across a manga adaptation yet. Given how niche the humor and setting are, it might not be the first choice for manga publishers, who often lean toward more visually dynamic or fantastical stories. That said, I'd love to see someone tackle it—imagine the exaggerated expressions of Hank Devereaux in manga form! There are plenty of literary manga adaptations out there, like 'No Longer Human' or 'The Great Gatsby,' so it’s not impossible. If it ever happens, I’ll be first in line to read it.
