Skip Beat!, vol 27

Today's post is on Skip Beat!, vol 27 by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is 193 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kyoko and Ren as Setsu and Cain Heel. As it is the twenty-seventh in the series you need to have read the first twenty-six volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this volume. The story is told from third person close of Kyoko and Ren. 

From the back of the book- Kyoko's having trouble getting into the role of Cain's sister. But is it because she can't relate to a spoiled punk princess, or because she can't let go of the fact that Ren is playing Cain? And Ren faces his own challenge with the situation. Can he stand to have the woman he loves treat him like a brother?

Review- Most of this volume is with Kyoko and Ren being the Heel siblings. It has some funny moments but we get a surprising character development for Ren. Some dudes try to pick up Kyoko as Setsu and a fight breaks out, Kyoko gets pushed around and that sets Ren off. Kyoko pulls him out of it but it scares him for some reason and he thinks about a promise he made to himself to never lose control again. The character development for Ren was an interesting and very unexpected direction. We knew that he had some shadows in his past but now this makes me wonder what he really is running from, if not his father's shadow. I wonder what we'll discover 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.
