Today's post is on Skip Beat!, volume 13 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 2058 pages and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko in a bikini being cute. The intended reader is someone who has read the first twelve volumes, like comedy and shojo manga series. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of Kyoko with a little bit of Ren on the side. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Ren's acting test is about to begin, with his entire future hanging in the balance, and he's managed to make his leading lady Itsumi mad at him. Rather than confront him directly, Itsumi decides to hit him where it hurt. Will she sabotage his test, or will Ren be able to get it together and use his legendary acting ability to lead her through this scene?
Review- An excellent volume with lots of things going on. Ren does make the cut, Kyoko has a moment of freak out because she is afraid that she is falling for him, and President Lori discovers that Ren is in love with Kyoko. We get to see more into Ren's mind concerning Kyoko and his feelings. Most of the volume is Ren's test and the filming of the scene. We do get a scene with Kyoko and Ren at the end with Kyoko trying to give magic from her blue stone corn and telling him about how she saw him when they met as children. Not much character or plot development, just seeing how Ren is going to handle his feelings for Kyoko and Kyoko being herself.
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.
