I just love this volume because they have to work together, and get to see different sides of each other! ( ) I love Kyoko so much. She's probably one of my favorite characters ever, because she's so cute and goodhearted and yet so incredibly vengeful. It's hilarious. And then Ren's over there being the perfect gentleman flashing her those deadly smiles... Skip Beat! is just one of my favorite mangas, period. Book 6 of the Skip beat series to me is the best one! Ifyou read the other books, you will understand this one, as this is the continuation of the last one. Kyoko takes care of Ren when he is really sick, and learns more of the soft gentle side of the man as well. I don't want to spoil the rest, but you get an idea that after the release of this book, the relationsship between the two gets stronger. I really enjoyed this volume and when I feel like reading some of my owned skip beats books ( I own volume 4-9), I always pick up that one because the volume brings up the climax (I believe) in the story about the relationship between the two. Please, read this =). Skip Beat is not a book I've gone out of my way for, it's on my 'to pick up eventually' list rather than at the top of my must haves. The series on the whole is pretty decent and it puts a nice spin on the stereotypical 'shoujo idol' subgenre. I like that Kyoko isn't always a particularly nice or even, sometimes, sympathetic character. I like that her motivation is as much about revenge as it is about succeeding for herself. In this volume, we see a lot more of the nice side of Kyoko. We see her working hard for herself as well as for Ren and even doing pretty well at things, which begins to affect his perception of her. I admit to not fully understanding the extent of all the relationships, but it feels like a balance is maintained in this volume and the next as she manages to impress and piss off the male leads in pretty much equal parts. For a series that can go a bit over the top, it has a very solid storytelling base and I'm considering actually going out of my way to get more. no reviews | add a review
Superstar Ren's manager Yashiro comes down with a nasty cold, but Ren is in the middle of an important shoot and needs someone to look after him. In a feverish fit, Yashiro dares Kyoko to take over his job! Of course Kyoko accepts, but she's in way over her head with a pack of new responsibilities and the scorn of everyone who thinks she's doing a bad job. But the more time Ren spends with Kyoko the more he sees of her kind and gentle side. Will all her hassles be worth his change of heart? No library descriptions found. |
