Kyoko never fails to amuse me. She is your stereotypical girly girl - selfless, modest, endlessly optimistic. She practically floats to school every day. She's so happy to be there. She skirts right by bullies' insults and goes along her happy way. Until...someone brings up Sho or insults Kyoko in a certain way (saying she "doesn't have a celebrity's aura") and a switch is flipped. Sweet little Kyoko becomes evil, raging, angry Kyoko.
Everything comes back to Sho. Kyoko hates the idea that she is beneath anyone. And in her head, any insinuation that she is "less than" comes back to Sho. Too bad for her, because Sho manages to worm his way into her life over and over. Kyoko is starring in Sho's music video. She tries to hide her true identity from him, but he figures out. In his eyes, Kyoko is nothing. That she could even conceive to become an actress is laughable. That's what he thinks on the surface. However, his manager quickly notices that Sho is - unconsciously at least - attracted to Kyoko. He can't keep his eyes off her. I'm curious how this chemistry will evolve.
There's a cute conversation between Ren and his manager. It's very clear that Ren is fascinated by Kyoko. I don't know if he "like" likes her yet, but she is foremost in his mind. He is particularly worried that she is so motivated by revenge towards Sho. Not because it's unbecoming, but because he thinks she's above it. That to be moved by a negative power will hurt her in the long run. And you can tell that he already wants what's best for Kyoko.
Another good edition to this series. It's not the most memorable volume, but sets the stage for more Sho/Kyoko and Ren/Kyoko interaction.

In three words: SO MUCH SHO!
We haven’t actually gotten to see much of Sho (Shotaro) Fuwa before this volume. Although we get a lot of information about him and are constantly reminded of him and his douchery actions and past, we don’t usually get to see too much of him... but in this volume we do! And I have to say it, I f***ing hate that motherf***er. I mean I love his complexity as a character and the dynamic relationship between him and Kyoko, but I f***ing hate him.
I just love this voulme, because I love to see how amazed Sho is by Kyoko. I loved how Kyoko was trying to hide her identity from Sho, and how he was determined to know if she really was Kyoko. She was trying to pretend to be a total airhead and it was so cute and funny, I just loved every minute of it!

It is a relief that Kyoko's motivations for acting were cleared up with Ren and his face when describes how she feels while acting... sob...he must feel the same when he acts. I always laugh at Kyoko's reactions to super sweet Ren. "The SUUUUN". Kyoko is such a good daemane, taking care of sick Ren and his reputation. Then gets PETTY when she makes it seem like taking care of him wasn't special. Such a big baby. And Yoshiro knows he likes her, but Ren is so dense. So so dense... Sho can just go away, yes Kyoko looks gorgeous and is so talented, but he can f right off and go flirt with his manager.

Probably my favorite Skip Beat arc is the Prisoner Music Video arc with Kyoko reuniting with Sho for the first time in the business. I love how much she gets under his skin and the whole story in general.
