Blogger's Airtime!:

What I feel prior reading:

I watched the anime on TV & I have to agree I greatly enjoyed it :) Its plot is great & the anime was hilarious. The anime left me on a cliffhanger so I had to read the manga to know more.Oh ya don't underestimate this manga just because it has an old school style of drawing. Trust me shoujo lovers will love it.

The Story:

Skip Beat! has an unpredictable storyline. The story which tells us about acting incorporates the usage of psychology. As u see how Mogami (main character) goes through obstacles of being an actress she uses lots of psychology to apply to her problems e.g. how she portrays her roles well.
The story is also hilarious. The jokes don't leave u cold & Mogami's denseness to love doesn't always make u feel fed-up instead her very exaggerated responses to love are very entertaining to read.After getting dumped.. This is how she feels abt love

" An unlucky nightmarish day that threatens the peace & should be avoided at all costs!"

So if u wanna continue to read her very "loveable" comments read Skip Beat.

The Characters

The characters are lovable & quirky. Kyoko is the type of heroine I like. She's tough & her nvr say die attitude is awesome. U gotta love that evil aura emitting from her when she sees her ex-boyfriend.Although she's all tough girl.. she's very cute & naive.
The cast is quirky.. u gotta see that weird manager Rory.I mean which manager dresses up in a different cultural suit everyday?! Its like a cosplay convention for him everyday.
Ren (love protaganist) is of course the cool.. handsome... gentle guy every shoujo lovers drools over. Just don't see his dark side behind the gentleness... You wouldn't like that even Kyoko is scared of him.

Art

The art has this old school style to it. They have sharp chins & the guys faces look a little sharp. The chibis & funny scenes are the great points. The author must have had lots of fu drawing the evil aura.You should see the "evil chicken" in manga.Great facial expression :3 Ur gonna love those demon faces that will appear severa times in the manga.
