Today's post is on Skip Beat!, vol 7 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the sixth in her long running series and you need to have read the six volumes to understand what is going on. It is 190 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Sho dressed up as a demon from his music video 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- All Kyoko's dreams are coming true! She's got a best friend (okay Moko still needs to come to terms with their bosom-buddyhood, but she's learning). She's finally going to high school (so what if a mean girl is picking on her- Kyoko knows how to deal with bullies). And she's landed a spot in Sho's new video (Yes! Revenge! Bwa haha ha!) Life doesn't get any better than this.
Review- We finished the mini-arc with Ren and him seeing Kyoko is still the same person, just a little angrier than when he first knew her. Then we get to see Kyoko in high school dealing with normal high school stuff like mean girls but Kyoko's tough and she does not care. The rest of the volume is Kyoko trying to stop Sho from recognizing her and firing her. Sho does but he does not fire her, instead he gives her the chance to beat him on the camera in acting. At the end of the volume Sho realizes that Kyoko has some good acting skills and she could beat him. I liked seeing Kyoko and Sho enact in this volume with how much Kyoko has changed to Sho. Kyoko is still the same person but now she just does not care about how others feel. Sho does not know what to think about how Kyoko is now and it is confusing him. I like it. I look forward to seeing more of Kyoko and seeing her win in this little battle.
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.
