Skip Beat!, Vol. 26

Today’s manga post is on Skip Beat!, Vol. 26 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 184 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover is an illustration of Kyoko, Moko, and Chiori, dressed in the Love Me gear. There is no foul language, no sexuality, and no violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes comedy and shojo manga. The story is told from third person close following Kyoko but with some asides from Ren for character development. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- Kyoko thinks she's survived Valentine's Day, but that's just the kind of attitude that gets her in trouble with the president of LME. Lory is very disappointed in the girls of the Love Me Section and sets up special new assignments to teach them the power of love. But will the president's strange methods have any affect on the troubled souls of Chiori, Moko and Kyoko? 

Review- President Lory has a huge assignment for Kyoko, keep Ren in check. This is a very silly story line, even for this manga. Ren is playing a different actor named Cain Heel and Cain Heel is a dangerous man, who cares for nothing for his sister, Setsu. So to have someone be Ren as Cain’s manager without anyone knowing that Cain is Ren Tsuruga, President Lory gets Kyoko to play Setsu. All very silly and complicated but it is also so funny and so much fun, that I don’t care how silly it is. Kyoko is having to learn a part of the fly, Ren is not handling having Kyoko around all the time well, and everything else is just silly. I am looking forward to seeing what nonsense Kyoko and Ren get up to in these costumes. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
