Skip Beat

Okay. I can't come up with anything for this because then it'll take away from the Storyline section =( Anyway, here's...

Skip Beat

Storyline: 8/10
It just seems impossible. This girl gets into the show business so easily! It's a modern day, rags to riches, Cinderella story with a REALLY spunky girl, a prideful boy and a sophisticated but mysterious man. Yeah, it just seems soo impossible but it happened and the way she went about it was really funny! Although it touches on some general things such as the Japanese yearly events, it does have a bunch of it's own surprises that spices things up alot! Unexpected developments come along and the cliffhangers are placed in the most rage-worthy of places because you REALLY want to know what will happen at times but you can't find out until the next chapter comes out n_n Yeah, it's really addicting xD;

Characters: 8/10
The characters personalities are all pretty expected and their interaction is predictable as well. There is minor development throughout so -1 for that. Each character has their own quirk which makes them unique and lovable. It's really hard to understand what they're thinking sometimes which isn't a bad thing imo. The less predictable, the better! The character design is definitely suited for the bishounen style that both male leads have in both looks and personality *drool* Their chibi versions are just to die for as well. Kyoko looks really off sometimes though o_O Also, the company president is worth mentioning. I think he'd cry if I don't same his name =P Lory Takarada. =D

Overall: 8/10
Filled with many different types scenarios, this manga is really entertaining! It is, after-all, set in the entertainment industry so it HAS to be entertaining. =P It's really funny and really serious at the appropriate times. Would recommend this to those into modern adaptations of Cinderella stories and unorthodox methods of attaining goals. There's an anime adaptation for it but it doesn't capture the whole story since it's only got 25 episodes and the manga is still on-going. I tried watching it but I just got lazy =( Also, my video streaming doesn't seem to work =/
