Skip Beat!
by Nakamura Yoshiki

Synopsis:

Kyoko Mogami followed her true love Sho to Tokyo to support him while he made it big as an idol. But he's casting her out now that he's famous! Kyoko won't suffer in silence--she's going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz!

Volume 1:
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?

I love this manga! It is funny and the storyline is interesting. It's not the typical girl likes boy.

^^ You're absolutely right. I absolutely love Kyoko when she's releasing her demons. And Shou too, ha! I so loved the scenes when he starts to get jealous of Ren and Kyoko's closeness.

I read this with scanlations, anyone does too?

[Izam.]

Nope, I read actual copies. I have volume 1-15 (hooray for Chinese publishers). I don't really like the main guy though, he's not in there much anyway. I wish there are more romance in this....and not so much side stories....But it's still a very good manga and for once the main girl is a strong individual (she's so funny)

I hope V.G. stick around. I think they add a little twist to the story.

I've read what's out [up to V5, I think]

keke, I like it Not enough for me to buy it though...but it's pretty funny, I kept laughing when I read it at Borders today... I want to see the pink jumpsuit!

I thought it was refreshing, especially her REASON for going into showbiz...it's different from the usual boy-meets-girl and boy = celebrity story lines...

In Volume 4, when she's in the chicken costume xD

Yup, I'm waiting for 106 too. I miss Shou and his jealousy acts, I wish we should show up soon.

[dazzleanddestroy]

loved it, started reading the scanlation when it first came out, then got tired of waiting, so i read the raws in japanese, i believe all of the volumes that was out, forgot.. read it a long time..
haha, i love all of her works.. her main characters/heroines are all strong willed!

&tokyo crazy paradise! i love that series from her the most! XD

[nom de plume.]

^TOKYO CRAZY PARADISE IS THE BOMB! OMFG RYUUJI AND TSUKASA ARE THE LOVE.

*coughcoughcough* Anyways, I'd say that if anyone loves Skip Beat, they should look at Tokyo Crazy Paradise. I love Kyoko in SB, and her little demons are the absolute love and hilarious. Although Shou just makes me want to smack him at times...*sighs*

I went to join, but it said they DON'T have scantalations, and not to ask for them...anyone know somewhere I could get volume eight chapter 45 and up from?

[Justalilodreamer]

oooh sounds interesting , maybe i'll check it out ^^

[precious4e]

I love Skip Beat!
I just read chapter 106 and its getting SO interesting. I love how the manga never seems to get boring or dragged out. I can't wait to find out what happens.

btw.....I think TCP is one of the best mangas i've read. I even like it better than Skip Beat.

Really? I didn't like TCP at all it was so boring. I sold the whole set on e-bay XP

They do. If you're a part now, some members make their own scanlations, they translate and stuff. Go to the links section, find your way, there.
