Skip Beat!
Okay, I'll admit I'm not a big fan of traditional shoujo stories where it takes 20+ volumes for the two main characters to fall in love. I get fed up and start wanting to hit those two characters with a clue bat so that they'd realize that yes, they are in love and no, the world is not going to fall apart because they're in love.
Regardless of this, I decided to read Skip Beat! since the premise seemed interesting enough since it was about a girl who wants to get revenge on her ex and I'm all for girls who want to get revenge upon shitty guys.
I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. It's ridiculously good. I even spent a lot of the early chapters crying over how so many people were simply using Kyoko (I think I scared anyone who saw me reading it, lol).
I do have some issues with it though.
1. I often mistake Kyoko for a boy. Even when she's wearing a dress/skirt I think she's just dressed in drag. It's her hair. The way it's normally styled reminds me of your typical uke in a standard BL manga. Whenever she has different hair (like the first chapter and when she changes it for roles) I have no problem thinking she's a woman.
2. Oh God, I want to hit Ren and Kyoko with the clue bat. Ren because he knows he loves Kyoko but won't do anything about it! And Kyoko because she's yet to realize she's in love with Ren! I want to strangle both of them.
And now I'm going to be bitter since I'm all caught up. I really need to stop reading unfinished stuff.
