This was such a hilarious series! Kyoko was such a quirky character and was always doing stuff to get into trouble. I liked the transformation of her character throughout the series and how she found out that instead of having to rely on a boy she could make it on her own. There was a love triangle that I also enjoyed very much.

Hello, everyone and welcome back to Katie’s Corner! Today I’m continuing with Skip Beat! reviews, and trust me you don’t want to miss any of events I’ll covering in today’s reviews. We get to meet new characters, and some old ones will be acting a bit crazy. And this time, again the story focuses on Kyoko, Ren and some of the times on Shou. As always before I start let me make a list of what I’ll be covering:
· Beagles Appear!!!
· Trouble to create a new character?!
· St. Valentine = Trouble in the paradise!!!
So, let me start! As you remember I stopped at the moment when Ren finally found his Katzuki and accepts his feelings for Kyoko. However, at this time Kyoko is interviewed and there she meets a new and formidable enemy both for herself as well as Shou. Meet Vie Ghoul aka beagles, that’s how Kyoko calls them and to say the truth I always remember that name instead of their real one. They’re a band, which will put Shou in a difficult position and will bring lots of trouble for Kyoko, especially the lead singer – Reino. He’s one weird guy who got a creepy interest in Kyoko, well, in her devil forms to be exact. However, during this arc we get to see the real Shou, his another side, the one where he first doesn’t do anything and afterwards starts working in order to get back his first place. We also see Kyoko’s side, she may hate Shou, but she doesn’t care how she will defeat him! And her fantastic confession of her hatred make your skin crawl and there’s this weird excitement buzzing in our heart, that something is going to happen!
Moving on! When the problem with Shou is kind of settled, Kyoko is bombarded with new projects and every time she is asked to just act like Mio, so the tough times will come to our favourite actress. She takes a role of Natsu – a bully. And her problems start as now she has problems with creating her Natsu. She wants her new character to be different from Mio as Natsu & Mio are absolutely different. Will she be able t? You’ll need to find out for yourself. But trust me the way she plays Natsu, the expression of pure sadistic delight will shutter your imagination and you’ll be wondering aloud: “”This girl is a real genius!” however, before she creates Natsu, you’ll get to meet a character which will shed some light on Ren’s past ad we will have at least some ideas as what is happening. Who that is ad how will he help Kyoko? I’ll leave that for you to find out! Because he’s fun and you’ll love how Kyoko will try to boss him around!
And finally moving to my favourite part! Skip beat! is celebrating St. valentine’s Day. And you’ll be having fun reading this arc, as there are lots o misunderstandings to come. Some creepy characters are going to steer trouble for Kyoko, and some will finally understand their feelings, but will take it to a very weird position. There will be trouble for Kyoko as well as Kanae as she’ll have to deal with some awful co-workers and in the end, the “Love-Me” section will get another member. Will the valentine’s leave a good or a bad impression on our girls? Heh, I can’t not just omit their answer to President’s question: “What does the valentine’s mean to you?”
Oh, yes I partially agree with them. But you’ll have to read the story to understand why Kyoko & Kanae can’t stand this day so much!
I’ll be ending my review here for today, but don’t forget there’s some real fun stuff coming as a punishment for answering the question incorrectly. The director gave “Love-me” section a job. What is it? You’ll find out in the next review! Enjoy it to its fullest and don’t forget to share your thoughts below! Stay tuned for more reviews as well as promos! Don’t miss your next favourite book or manga! Happy reading!
XOXO

FINALLY some progress. I'm somewhat satisfied with how the story is being progressed but at the same time, it still feels over dramatized on the female lead's part. That's still annoying.
I can't believe I'm halfway through!!! (At least, in regards to the fact that the most recently released volume in this ongoing series is number 50...)
This is officially the longest I've ever read a manga, with the previous record going to Ouran High School Host Club, at 18. I never thought I'd be able to stay invested in something this lengthy, but here we are, and I'm just as excited to read the next 25 (and more)!!!
This was definitely a major bang of a volume, an explosion of feelings if you will.
Not only do we have an extremely jealous, and sexy, Sho Fuwa, on the hunt for revenge against Kyoko and Reino, we also have a mixed up Ren, we has lots of unrequited love for Kyoko, and is very worried that she might ignore him on Valentine's Day. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.
And when Sho actually kissed Kyoko?!? I audibly GASPED!!!!!!! It was so twisted, yet so hot??? My brain is literally in shambles... But wait, Ren also kissed Kyoko? I mean, on the cheek, but it was just as hot!
This is why I love a slow burn, the tiniest, most miniscule things absolutely set my blood on fire, in the best way.
But I can't believe I'm saying this, I actually kind of love Sho. I know he probably won't ever get a redemption arc, but I just love a bad boy that becomes better with time (blame Zuko).
Anyways! So excited for volume 26!!!!!!!

Yup. Just as good as I remembered. The "kiss fight". The jealousy. The consume her every thought. Muah ha ha ha these boys are pathetic!!! Loved seeing her righteous anger for Sho but also slip into her princess sparkles mode too. And!!!! She gets flustered by Ren!!! Ahhhh it's so good. Still skimmed the Moko & costar scenes because I care zero.
When Sho finds out that Kyoko and Reino aren't actually together, he uses this as an excuse to steal Kyoko's first kiss (in front of Ren, no less!) and dominate her mind. Ren tries to talk Kyoko out of stressing about it, but when she clearly can't shake it from her mind, he takes matters into his own hands! After Kyoko gives Ren a Valentine's Jelly she made him - because he doesn't seem the type to eat chocolate - he kisses her on the cheek, and she is unable to think of anything else until he decides to play it off like it didn't actually mean what it did!
