Nakamura Yoshiki - Skip Beat, vol. 06-11

[oyceter]

I'm still not quite sure what to think about this series. I like how it's not All About the Boy, and I especially love Kyoko's giant grudge, but the manga-sports-esque battles and power-ups involving acting, of all things, has me rolling my eyes a bit. Then again, I tend to have a lower tolerance for shounen tropes anyway.

I am a little sad that we don't get much of Moko in the Tsukigomori arc, but I found Kyoko calling her for help with the angel gig hilarious. Also, Moko's family! Yikes!

I have to say, I'm rather taken with Ren, and I loooove his conversations with chicken!suit!Kyoko! "He's... never fallen in love?!?!" I also want to see when he'll tell Kyoko about being Corn.

Hrm. Otherwise, I don't have that many comments, since a big chunk of the latter bit is on Kyoko's version of Mio, which doesn't interest me nearly as much as Kyoko's odd and prickly friendship with both Moko and Ren.

I love the crush. It reminds me of Watanuki's crush on Himawari: just sheer, overwhelming, utterly asexual adoration.
