Most of you probably know that Skip Beat is one of my favorite series. Also, by extent you also probably knows that KyokoxRen is one of my favorite couples. And anyone who still follows the skip beat manga, probably knows that for almost a year now that Skip Beat has been focused around valentine’s day and the love triangle in Skip Beat. This arc made me excited at first, than bored, than excited (and angry) again at around 145-148, and than I almsost forgot about during a month long break.
Obivously the main message of Skip Beat isn’t romance. It’s about Kyoko finding the self she was never allowed to develop growing up because she was trying to please people (mainly her mom and Shotaro). Part of it has to do with be able to love naturally and giving up her old twisted ideas of love, but that’s a very small part in the long run. At some points of this arc, I kind of wanted it to go back to Kyoko’s advantures in acting.
But I think I should still be allowed to derive shipper glee out of what happens in this chapter. So here it goes:
And so the anime verison of Skip Beat ends. I’m pretty sure most anime only fans are disappointed by the ending, and probably some of the manga fans, are upset by the ending. But I’m alright with it.

In the second last episode of Skip Beat we continue to get insite into Ren’s character. Though not to much, since even in the manga he’s still very mysterious.
In this episode, we move away from Kyoko’s difficulties in acting, and more towards Ren’s.
This episode ends the Mio portion of the Dark Moon Arc. (Which has been awesomely animated thus far). This arc shows us if nothing else Kyoko continues to grow as an actress Read the rest of this entry »
The music video arc of Skip Beat, marks many small change as well as increases the drama load as we move towards the end of the series. It also brings up questions of feminism, the futialy of revenge and what really constitutes a relationship.
Blogging is going to be a no go from tomorrow to about next Thrusday. So is being online in general.
Why? Because of the dreaded scurge of all students: Exams.
It looks like I’m the only one still blogging Skip Beat!. Sigh.
Anyways this episode was really good. Well, the second half was really good. I wasn’t that fond of the first half. This episode increased my love for Moko-chan tenfold. Some how it’s more fun to watch her act like a Tsundere then to read about it.
I promised to write full posts for Skip Beat! 11 and Shugo Chara! Doki! 11. However things came up, so I’m blogging this way again.
