Today's post is on Skip Beat!, volume 11 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko as Mio on it with flowers around her. The intended reader is someone who has read the first ten volumes, likes comedy and shojo manga. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- There's trouble on the Tsukimori set, and surprisingly it's not Kyoko's fault. Ren is having difficulty acting the part of a love-struck suitor since he's never really been in love before. Stressed by his sudden acting impotence, Ren goes MIA. Kyoko is determined to help her friend, and joins forces with Ren's manager. But as Ren sees the two of them getting close, he realizes he might know more about serious emotion than he thought!
Review- So Ren has a moment that lasts for several days and he just cannot get his head into the game. Of course Kyoko wants to help but she is afraid to speak up as he is her senior and Ren can be mean. The problem is Ren just does not know how to connect with other people on a real level, so this character is a real struggle for him to understand. Add in his realization that he has real feeling for Kyoko and we have the drama of this volume. I liked spending some time with Ren and getting to see more into his head. I like what Nakamura is doing with his character and where he is going. I look forward to seeing how Ren is going to solve his problem in this drama and with Kyoko.
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.
