A review by lavendermarch
Skip Beat!, Vol. 1 by Yoshiki Nakamura

4.0

I started this yesterday, and while I liked the first chapter, I was bit apprehensive overall, as Kyoko is very, very angry, and I was slightly unsure if the series would be able to continue under such force. With that being said, she's definitely a character that you can sympathize with, and I'd really like to see how she does in show business. I feel like that would be quite entertaining, particularly because she has such potential for emotional and professional growth. I really enjoyed the art in this book. It was hilarious, especially the vengeful spirits, lol. It could also be quite poignant, and I thought Nakamura was able to convey Kyoko's emotions (and those of other characters) really well. I definitely want to at least read volume 2 (which I have borrowed from the library) and see what happens next. While I'm not completely sold yet, I'm definitely interested (especially as the series is 43 volumes and counting!). 4 stars.
