Ericka needs to chill. Seriously, who is so determined to ruin someone else's career that she is willing to physically harm them. Oh yeah, a rich young lady with a big ego and nothing better to do. Hopefully she grows up and leaves Kanae alone. Ren hating Kyoko again after finding out she wants to be and actor instead of a talento makes sense. I would dislike someone who was disrespecting a profession I love. The daemane arc is very cute and I love that President Takarada realised Kyoko was not in high school and was the kind grandfather he is and arranged for her place.

Skip Beat volumes are often as insightful as they are fun, but this volume felt… different. I think I enjoyed it more as we got to see more interaction between Ren and Kyoko. It was quite entertaining to see each one try to decode the other. My favorite moment had to be when Kyoko was talking to her Ren doll and Ren caught her. It was amusing to see her panic and Ren’s conclusions from the situation.

I still can't see how this is going to take over 40+ volumes to resolve. It's going to get drawn out and repetitive, isn't it?

And this volume takes the series to an even better level! Love love love this volume!!! One of my favorites! It has some of the sweetest scenes and panels! WE get a really good look at Ren in this one. His life, his thoughts toward Kyoko, etc. He has fond memories of her as a child but still hates that she wants revenge but an acting scene and discussion might change some of that. Kyoko has to step up and act as his manager for a few days. And the levels to which she goes in amazing! Next time I get sick, I want her to come care for me! She is improving by leaps and bounds in acting and the president has a nice surprise for her as well. I really do like the president. Even if he is a bit odd and flamboyant in his behavior, dress and entrances.
