It makes me happy every time I read it that Ren doesn't even realise his hatred toward Kyoko waned after learning it was his brief childhood friend. He even gives her advice on how to stand out in the business. Kanae and Kyoko are BFFS!!!!! No matter how hard Kanae tries to fight it, she need Kyoko to heal her heart and be her best friend. I love their friendship development arc in this volume. Plus their expressions of girl friends even when neither of them have had one were so emotional.

3 stars

Character Development: N/A (for all mangas)

Diversity: Not Really

Likes: I liked the action about this book.

Dislikes: At some parts of the book it was a little confusing. And I feel that this book even though we are book 5 (when I am writing this book, I have finished 6) I just wanted more, I feel this series is going nowhere.

What mood should you read this book in?: Emotional, Adventure, Romance

Pace: Fast

Likable Characters?: N/A (for all mangas)

Characters or Plot?: Character and PLot so 50/50

Overall, I am excited to start vol.7 (look at the dislikes)

I love the cover for this volume! Kyoko with Moko is always a great pairing, their attitudes and style are so different. Moko really grows in the story, especially in her attitude towards Kyoko. The audition for the commercial was so much fun, and I like meeting another character not connected to Kyoko's story but still an influential part of the story.  I truly love Moko and Kyoko and their friendship and cannot wait to see the results of their hard work!

I liked seeing Kyoko and Moko’s friendship develop along with their individual talents. Also, I loved how Kyoko’s determination played into the audition process… it was quite amusing.

This is definitely going to be one of the favourite volumes! The starting of friendship between Kyoko and Moko and the way they make their curse (love me uniform) their strength it was funny yet an important segment for these two! New doors will open for these two and I’m so excited for their journey to become celebrities!
