I fell in love with this manga immediately. It drew me in and kept me there. Sadly to say i have been reading it from the internet and hate to wait in between chapters. I've also been watching it's anime and I've seen the first episode of the TV show extravagant challenge based on this manga. But nothing beats the manga because it has all the extra details that are not shown elsewhere.I'm writing this review for all of the volumes of Skip Beat because i tend to read them all together. I enjoy Kyoko's personality, the way she is inexperienced in various things(such as friends, boyfriends, etc.), serious with others(her acting,etc.)..Her relationship with Ren and how she won't admit to her feelings. I also like the turn of events with Sho, how he is now interested in her. I like reading this manga over & over again because it basically shows a young girl who had her heart broken and was stepped on, who gathered up all her anger, her little left hope and decided to get revenge. Along the way she makes friends, experiences new feelings, develops a deep love for her acting which changes things around for her. No matter how many time you get knocked down, you should get back up and fight!! a new volume of skip beat is an ineffable treat and takes at least an hour to read as i am savouring everything so much. (it's the manga that makes me most want to learn japanese so i could read more, more quickly). in this volume more is hinted of ren's past, reino may not be completely evil and a new character is introduced who may be even eviller than reino (and my guess is has something to do with ren).
What do You think about Skip Beat!, Vol. 17 (2009)?
I kind of miss shou but I think that the plot is really interesting. I can't stop reading!!!
