Skip Beat!

Description

From Viz:
Kyoko knows she's not plain and uninteresting, no matter what Sho says. With the help of a little makeover, Kyoko's ready to exact her revenge. But first she needs to land an audition, and she sets her sights on the agency where Sho's lead rival works. Her persistence pays off, but her broken heart turns out to be a disadvantage. Kyoko has lost the will to love anybody, let alone fans she's never met. Can the agency see past this problem to Kyoko's true star potential?

When I read it, I was so surprised since the story isn't something that I used to find if I'm reading shoujo. What captivated me the most is definitely the main character, Kyouko. How she transfers into the "new" Kyouko, the way she views and handles things are so enjoyable. So far the plot goes great, and I hope it will end in an impressive and memorable way.

I love both the story n the art. It's the best manga u'll ever read. This shouji is different from other shouji cuz the main character kyoko is not some girl who wants to fall in love and she ain't a girl who would forgive others if u hurt her n that's what makes this manga so good and the comedy sandwiched in between is just pure entertainment. When I saw the review first, I thought it was gonna be some lame story about a girl who's trying to get revenge on a guy who dumped her, but then when I saw the rating I thought may be not. I read the first chapter n it wasn't that interesting at first. But yeah after reading volume 1 it gets more and more interesting n the drawing seems to get better n better. The next thing I know is I've already read through ch107 .....Man skip beat is killing me, somebody update ch108 plssss. Anyway this manga is a must must must read manga!! I totally recommended it!

Entertaining and different!

God, it's so good to see the bastards get what's coming to them, for a change! In many shoujo stories, the heroine's completely (and unreasonably) smitten with a guy that treats her like dirt. I was immensely relieved -- and highly entertained -- to find a spitfire heroine like Kyoko, who gets her heart broken but decides to trample on her heart-breaker's ambitions in return.

Skip Beat doesn't have amazing art, but what it does have is an interesting, involving story with a great heroine and wonderful side-characters. Absolutely everything about the plot is ace. I usually find shoujo series very hard to get into -- I don't get addicted to them the way I do to good shounen or seinen series. But Skip Beat definitely taught me that it's possible for me to be totally addicted to a shoujo manga. I wait for more updates like a dog in hea -- er, heart! (Heart? That doesn't make sense, but we'll ignore it for now.)

I love how atypical the romantic relationships are, here. The main character isn't being chased by beautiful guys all the time, and she doesn't immediately fall head over heels for the lead bishounen, either. Everything progresses naturally and at its own pace. Too many mangakas are too impatient or too immature to let their characters develop like this. Either that, or they don't have the creative stamina to really give their plots time to hatch... Let me emphasize that this isn't the case with Nakamura-sensei. The story unwraps itself like a present, with each climactic or comedic event delivered at the right time.

Really good stuff. Don't miss out on it!

skip beat is getting a little boring? the monthly chapters that used to come out were very good and decently paced, but for the past few months it seems as the mangaka is dragging the arc out and nothing is really happening... it's the same reaction from ren and kyoko 🙁 even this weeks chapter was "ehh" it seems as though the characters are simply just at a standstill 🙁

Lag much?

I've read this manga up until volume 13 and I find that the story just keep lagging... I kept reading it to find some excitement... but none. I am kind of disappointed. The art was however good, a little funny... but not laugh out loud and my back hurts from laughing funny... but a silent giggle.

I hope it eventually gets good, but for now it's just barely hanging on to the 6 with me.

this is an amazing manga, because it was very realistic, where it shows the struggles of becoming a famous actor, and the concepts in the industry. Not to mention the characters that make you laugh and hate them at the same time.
NAKAMURA Yoshiki is awesome at making everyone laugh and drawing great bishies!

i highly recommend it 😀

Definitely one of the best shoujo mangas around. I was skeptical about reading it at first 'cos I thought it would be the usual girly crap. Man, I was sure surprised by the refreshing storyline! It does not have the regular (read: annoying) sob scenes that you see in other mangas. The artwork may not be attractive at first but it will slowly grow onto you. I can't wait for the next book to be out!!!!!
