Today’s review is on Skip Beat!, vol, 17 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko and Ren on it. As this is the 17th volume in the long-running series you need to read the first 16 in order to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sexuality, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third-person close of Kyoko but sometimes changing to Ren to get his perspective on things. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Dark Moon is getting excellent ratings, and Kyoko is getting tons of offers for more acting jobs! But all the offers are for twisted, damaged characters like Mio. Kyoko doesn't want to get stuck as a character actor, and she certainly doesn't want to play freaks for the rest of her career. But if she refuses all these jobs, will she even have a career left?!
Review- We wrap up most of the complications with Kyoko stalker, he's going to New York so he'll be out of her hair for a little while. But now Kyoko is afraid she's going to be typecast as a mean girl. But all of that is background noise because Ren’s father has returned to Japan for the first time in 20 some years and she has been assigned to be his assistant while he's here. He is giving her a lot of trouble at the end of this manga and I'm very curious to know if he knows about Ren’s feelings for Kyoko and that's why he's giving her problems, we haven't seen it yet so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. As it is Ren's father he might want to back off because his son might come after him but I think Kyoko is about to release her grudges on him and I don't think he has Ren’s invulnerability to them. Hopefully we will understand what president Lori is trying to do in the next volume by putting them together. I'm interested to see where we're going to go now, and I still highly recommend this whole manga series.
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.
