MANGA REVIEW | Skip Beat!
Skip Beat! Is about a girl named Kyouko getting revenge on a boyfriend who dumps her by becoming the top actress in Japan... And hijinks ensue.
To get to the top, Kyouko first has to start at the bottom - becoming the first member of her company's Love Me section. Despite having to wear embarrassing uniforms, Kyouko has to overcome the hardships of trying to make it into showbiz while all the while learning to gain more confidence.
During this she meets many rivals and friends who support her, one of which being the amazingly good looking Tsuruga Ren. As she stumbles through this bizarre new world, Ren slowly starts to warm up to her and Kyouko starts to move away from showbiz as a revenge tactic to actually really enjoying it. Ren and Kyouko also share a special childhood secret - but I'll let you read that for yourself!
You get to see her play a variety of roles which is really fun, from mascots to glamorous acting roles. One of my favourite arcs is where she plays a really cool punk alongside Ren as his sister. There are definitely some parts that get my heart racing, but for the most part it's a light and fluffy story.
You really end up rooting for the main character! She's not just a pretty face (in fact she makes a lot of hilariously ugly reactions) and works really hard to achieve her goals. She's the kind of character I'd really like to be friends with!
The manga is still ongoing at this time, with over 100 chapters so there's lots to get
