Today's post is on Skip Beat!, vol 6 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the six in her long running series and you need to have read the five volumes to understand what is going on. It is 190 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko and Ren on it with flowers and ribbons on it. 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- Ren's manager Yashiro comes down with a nasty cold in the middle of an important shoot, and dares Kyoko to take over his job! Of course Kyoko accepts, but shes in way over her head with a pack of new responsibilities and the scorn of everyone who thinks she's doing a bad job. But the more time Ren spend with Kyoko the more he sees her kind and gentle side. Will all her hassles be worth his change of heart?
Review- We have two stories in this volume with Kyoko and Kanae doing the shoot for their commercial and Kanae's enemy trying to hurt the girls to stop them from getting the shoot done. But Kyoko foils all those plans by just being herself. Then we get Ren and Kyoko for the rest of the volume. Ren does not want a temp manager but he needs one because he does not take care of himself and needs to be watched. Over the course of the volume Ren begins to see that Kyoko has not really changed, she is still the same person at her heart that he met so many years ago. Kyoko is getting more and more focused on herself and her wants for the future instead of hating Sho all the time. I am glad to see Kyoko being to focus on herself and what she needs and I look forward to continuing with her on her journey.
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.
