Today's post is on Skip Beat!, vol 3 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the third in her long running series and you need to have read the two volumes to understand what is going on. It is 184 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko and Maria on it looking like cool goth girls. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, strong heroines, and funny revenge stories. The story is told from third person close of Kyoko the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Kyoko is determined to win her way into show business, even if it means wearing embarrassing bright pink overalls and putting up with spoiled stars. But her first big assignment proves more difficult than she imagined when she finds herself in front of the camera with an injured leg. Will she be able to ace her first attempt at acting despite the pain, or will she make an utter fool of herself in front of her sort-of nemesis, Ren Tsuruga?
Review- We finish the arc with Kyoko and Ruri. Kyoko has broken her foot but she pushes through the film shoot and impresses her co-workers including Ren. At least until her angry nature comes back out. But it was a success for Kyoko in general and gets her a chance to impress President Lory by helping him with his granddaughter. Love Me Section gets a new member in this volume in Kanae a.k.a. Moko. She butted heads with Kyoko in the previous volume but she failed the next round of tests and has been in placed in the Love Me Section. Kyoko is overjoyed to have a friend but Moko is not so sure. They have a cute dynamic. Kyoko is trying to make her revenge dreams a reality but she still has so far to go with herself but we get to see her do some serious acting and she rocks it. I love this series so much and I cannot wait to continue with the next volume.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
