Description
From Manga Trader:
Kyoko Mogami is the childhood friend of superstar Sho Fuwa. Kyoko was so mindlessly in love with Sho that she followed him to the city on his quest to become a famous singer. But she soon realizes Sho was only using her as his personal maid to take care of household chores and pay for rent. Heart-broken, Kyoko won't suffer in silence--she's going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz!
A funny and entertaining romance story of a "diamond in the rough" trying to find her place in showbiz, and the mysterious pasts of the people around her.

| i dont know by queenofthemausoleum on November 18th, 2009, 7:16pm |
|
| i didnt really like this one because of the art, and the storyline just drags on. come one, they tell you at the back that sho(name?) is kyoko's true love!! why would anyone settle for less than that? even though sho is really cruel in my opinion. i give it a one for being so stupid to me. |

| Unique intersting plot by John21 on November 10th, 2009, 12:49am |
|
unique in its own way. Quite different from the other mangas I have read. The only complaints I have is romance is sooo slow, Kyoko is really dense when it comes to her feelings for Ren. Also progress is slow. I mean Kyoko has been working on one drama for like 50 or so chapters. So sometimes it drags. I sometimes also dont understand the supernatural stuff but ehh dat mite be me. But these are just a few flaws. The good part is comedy is awesome, Kyoko has a very unique personailty and the plot for me seemed pretty original. Also every charcter has his own flaws and strengths. No one is "really" a villain in this manga, which seemz realistic. Also the way acting is potrayed in this manga is awesome. Thats one of the best parts for me. Overall this manga is worth ur time to read. I mean I have read upto 140 chapters, still havent got bored, and thatz sumthing rite lol

I LOVE this series. It may not have an original concept (i.e. making it in show biz) but nothing about the way this series progresses is like any other. It's a great drama-romance-comedy with just a pinch of supernatural... and the characters all have different sides to them. Even in background and supporting character development, you aren't bored. I hope this series goes to 200+ chapters

This is a truly enjoyable manga. You know it's good when all spectrums of genre are included and yet it still comes off smoothly. The idiotic way the love triangle is portrayed is the only thing that does get on my nerves but outside of that it is excellent art, and fun.

| Very decent by Artimidorus on September 12th, 2009, 8:23pm |

Art is pretty nice, I am reminded of Kare Kano quite often while reading.
The story is pretty decent, and except for really only one or two minor points and the the story sort of dragging a -bit- at times, I have no issues with the story.
Overall: Very good, and I can't wait to keep reading.

NAKAMURA Yoshiki is one of my favourite mangakas. But sometimes I really really feel the urge to do something unwise. Like, when I've just read the newest chapter with a cliffhanger and I hear: Oh, you've got to wait another month, sorry!
Since the Christmas Arc I've been waiting and waiting for new chapters. And it's driving me crazy.
People are guessing and guessing what's gonna happen and I also think: What would happen when.....??
And it's all because I love this series so much. I've read Tokyo Crazy Paradise, and also Dramatic Love Album. (both highly recommended; especially the oneshot) But Skip Beat is just....captivating me much stronger!!
The characters are GREAT. I think nobody can say that Kyouko (for example) is not full of originality. You can't say absolutely the same for Sho and Ren, but they are still pretty adorable.
The art isn't that great (but I love it nevertheless) and the story just won't let you go. It's draggy in Romance, but when you've finished the chapters until 80 or 90 you SURELY can't stop reading it. Not when it's so unlike the typical shoujo. Not if you already care about at least one character.
The beginning was.... not my favourite one. I didn't really like the old kyouko. The new Kyouko is awesome. Great heroine, strong, but still sensitive and just....loveable.
(She deserves the best guy! xD And we all know who that is...!!)
The first volume is already great. The others are great, too. And Skip Beat still gets better!!
I'll collect the whole series....! I've already got some volumes....but I want more.....*sulk*
So, start reading it. But look at the genres. If you really can't stand shoujo, don't start reading it. You'll just regret it.

Kyoko is a wonderful main character...Strong willed, determined, she keeps us on tenterhooks as we read on with great anticipation, wondering what she'll get herself into next. The frequent ups and downs of her interactions with Ren is also too entertaining / hilarious / frustrating. Its a great read as far as a Shoujo manga goes...I simply hope that her character will eventually evolve out of the whole "revenge" stage, as other reviewers have mentioned, its a bit of a weak motivator for such a strong character as herself... But herein lies the most wonderful aspect of Skip Beat, it makes one want to stick with it to the end to find out.

| Skip beat by darkangel1302301 on August 31st, 2009, 7:25am |

its one of my favs! Its really funny!
A girl named Kyoko is insanely inlove with her childhood friend shou, he moves to Tokyo to become a more popular singer. Kyoko eventually realizes he was using her as a household maid and changes from her inoccent self to her evil self to get revenge. So she joins show biz and meet Tsuruga Ren, who is the most attractive man alive. The series revoves around these three characters. The anime is really funny but it stopps in the middle of the series so i read the manga. Things are really interesting now.

| Just awesome! by mimi_girl on August 25th, 2009, 2:49pm |

I've been reading this series for a long time now. The story itself is way more uniques than the usual mangas that you read. The main character kyoko isn't as stupid and annoying as most shoujo girls and she has strong spirits! The guys are freaking hot and well, everyting is PERFECT =D! This series is very enjoyable and the art is amazing ^_^. I totally reccoment this to anyone who likes a good story with strong characters (like myself).
