I love that Kyoko never stops or gives up, even when she fails and is filled with so much pain and disappointment, it's honestly very inspiring and empowering to see.
That idol girl has another thing coming though, so unbelievably selfish and bratty, I hope Kyoko continues killing it in that movie, because she deserves some little wins here and there.

I thought this manga was cute. I struggled to connect with the characters or plot.

At the end of Volume 1, Kyoko's dreams of joining LME talent agency were dashed because she was too focused on revenge and couldn't accept the idea of love. Kyoko hasn't given up. Unlike the average manga female character, Kyoko hasn't decided that her negative attitude is a bad idea and reformed into a cheerful, sweet character. Nope. Kyoko is as focused on revenge as ever. She won't accept no from LME.
Luckily, LME likes persistence. They create a Love Me Section - for people who must work to be loved by others. Kyoko will get points for helping others in the agency. When she has enough points, she can become an LME Talent. Points aren't easy to come by. Kyoko either doesn't do a good enough job or does too good a job. Everything seems to backfire. But she refuses to give up.
At one point, Kyoko becomes the personal slave of mega movie star Ruri. Ruri looks like a princess, but she's really a spoiled brat. She treats Kyoko like dirt...and somehow this turns into an opportunity for Kyoko.
Kyoko is definitely a dark character. She is shown having her angelic and devilish sides fighting each other. The devilish side keeps winning. But there's still a big difference between her and someone like Ruri. While Kyoko may be motivated by anger and revenge, she never acts cruelly towards other people or believes that she is better than anyone else. She certainly wants to be cruel to Sho, but her success is how she will accomplish that, rather than outright meanness.
I'm getting a little more familiar with Skip Beat and am liking what I'm reading. I hope to get to know Ren and Sho better in the next few volumes. I'm liking Ren better, because he seems like a good-hearted guy. I want to see more layers to Sho. All in all, great volume!
