Skip Beat!, Vol. 19

Today’s post is on Skip Beat!, Vol. 19 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko on it looking confident and awesome. As it is the 19th in the series you need to have read the first 18 volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this series and volume. The story is told from third person close of Kyoko and Ren. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Koo and Lory can't stop meddling in Kyoko's and Ren's lives. Because while Koo is impressed with Kyoko's talent, he knows that she will never be a great actress unless she can overcome her fatal weakness. And Lory knows that Ren's acting is likewise affected by his refusal to face his past. Can the two old-timers give their young protégés a much-needed kick in the pants, or will their plans blow up in their faces?! 

Review- Kyoko and Koo are bonding over acting and Koo challenges Kyoko to think about why she does not want to take more bullying roles. She does that then her and Koo talk about how she can grow more. The real reason that Koo came to Japan is to get Ren to make a message for his mother, who hasn’t seen him in five years and is getting desperate to have anything from Ren. That’s most of this volume and that is good as we get character growth and development with both Kyoko and Ren. They are both facing challenges and they are going to overcome them and I can’t want to see it happen. I love this series so much it’s knot even funny.

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.
