Skip Beat!, vol 8


282272

Today's post is on Skip Beat!, vol 8 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the six in her long running series and you need to have read the seven volumes to understand what is going on. It is 216 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko on it looking very cute eating a snack. 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's perfect chance to wrrak her revnge on Sho isn't going as well as she'd hoped. In fact, her rage is so consuming that she forgets she's supposed to be acting and tries to throttle Sho for real. That's not her only problems. Sho still thinks that he owns Kyoko body and soul, but his manager is worried that Kyoko might be stealing his heart!

Review- We finish Kyoko's filming on Sho's music video and she does a great job. She does not let her desire to destroy Sho overcome her, she just does her job to the best of her ability. But Sho has to  ruin her happiness in herself when she call Ren to tell him about her job and that she did it for the right reason Sho grabs her phone and acts like a jerk. So Ren is unhappy with Kyoko but does not want to talk to her about it. Then Moko is acting strange and so of course Kyoko has to know what is going on and Maria decides to help her. More crazy high-jinks from Kyoko but she is still growing and becoming more than Sho or herself thought she could be. This volume has little less humor than previous but Kyoko steals the manga with just being herself. I love her so much.

I give this give volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
