Skip Beat!, Vol. 24

Today’s post is on Skip Beat!, Vol. 24 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Sho and Reino on it. As it is the twenty-fourth volume in the series, you need to have read the first twenty-three to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, strong female leads, and over the top plots. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the characters moving as the story needs. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Valentine's Day is on its way, but Kyoko won't be able to celebrate love and friendship the normal way. She's getting blackmailed into giving chocolate to guys she hates, she has her ongoing revenge to oblige, and to top it all off, it's Ren's birthday! How can Kyoko give him a meaningful present when she's slinging meaningless chocolate left and right?

Review- Reino is back and he is being a jerk like normal. He is blackmailing Kyoko into making his chocolate for Valentine’s Day. In addition it’s Ren’s birthday and his present is late. Of course Kyoko is making everything over the top with her extreme feelings about all the people in her life. Add in Sho being as jerk too by pretending that he is not jealous of Ren and Reino who have Kyoko’s attention. Ren’s manager continues to be a source of amusement with his shipping of Kyoko and Ren, especially when Kyoko is not going to give Ren chocolate for Valentine’s Day. It ends with Sho showing up on Valentine’s Day to give a bouquet to Kyoko and it’s going to blow up in his face. I love this series and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next. 

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.
