If you are wondering whether or not to read this amazing series, do yourself a favor and read until chap 10, if you are not hocked by then, well, you are an exception. And if you ask me why, that's what I'll tell you:
Well, I think the first thing that caught my attention was the art. It is very unusual, Nakamura-sensei has a very unique style, which she has been constantly developing. If you compare [Skip Beat](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=376) to [Tokyo Crazy Paradise](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=275), a previous work of hers, you will immediately understand what I'm talking about. If her necks were VERY strange at first, well, they got MUCH better. And even during [Tokyo Crazy Paradise](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=275) or even [Skip Beat](http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=376), you can notice the differences, if you compare the earliest and latest chapters. Even to a noobie at art such as me, it is very pronounced.
But even if you disconsider the art, which you might forget about, once you get really into it, the plot is what gives it all the praise. It is very far from being a typical shoujo by not focusing on the romance but rather on the own characters and their development as individuals. It starts out as a road to revenge but ends up being much more than that. Each character has its own story and development. Not only are they well explored (even if not everything has been revealed yet) but they are also growing as we read. Some might say that the romance is too slow and that the story strays too often from the main romance, yet I think that it is exactly this trait that makes the manga so good.
Another aspect of the manga which surprised me greatly was the comedy. I hardly ever find anything which makes me laugh much, and whenever the comedy gets overboard I simply lose interest. Still Nakamura-sensei simply has the knack at making hilarious scenes.
I was really laughing my ass out when she chased the taxi in a bike XDDDD, or when she chanted for days until the whole family of the agent guy was in pure suffering, and I love the way she uses the grudges, it is plain hilarious
I must say this is the fist series that ever got me to read chapters as they are released. Usually I'll just wait until there is a bunch of chapters and read it all at once. However, my lust for new chapters keeps me checking for updates regularly.
In a word, read it.
