I was recommended to read this as I’m a Skip Beat! fan and this manga also focuses on becoming a star, proving oneself and mingling with romance. But Honey Hunt also has its own unique charming points without the need of demons!
This manga is one of my favourites out there. Although the story at first glance is about a girl and 2 guys and the entertainment world there are many other deeper aspects involved which can appeal to a wider audience than the typical romantics. Yura is a normal girl born from superstar parents but her life is anything but amazing as people think. As she enters the entertainment world we get to witness her journey and emotions she goes through, from trivial matters of being nervous in public speaking, dealing with parental pressures, expectations of people, how much can you actually trust someone?, can deception be justified? to developing first crushes but told to distance yourself- ah! So many things, all just to become a superstar!
Each main character is well developed in what they are there for and help Yuri learn and grow as an artist. However, what a character will say and do seems to be a surprising element in the manga as everything isn’t as it seems or as Yura thinks it is- helping in the suspense for us readers as even we don’t know everyone’s true thoughts and intentions- it all quite questionable really!
The entertainment business is tricky affair with many people involved. It is definitely an enjoyable manga to read.

So far I've only read up to ch 16 and honestly, it's annoying. It's the typical shoujo of 3 hot bishies going after the stupid heroine that only thinks "what should I do?".
Some people say that Yura acts that way because she's in her teens and has no self-confidence, so of course she would be confused..Well, I've never ever met a teenager like that. They might do or say stupid things, I agree with that, but there's a limit to how much of an idiot you can be.
As for the story and art..Story is waaay far from being original, while art is ok..not my favorite art though, but still somewhat enjoyable.
All this being said, I still won't drop the manga..I'll wait until the end of volume 4 in hopes that it will get better somehow..I might be editing this review once I get there to give a better opinion on the series. read more

same where the gurl trys 2 get revenge through acting and becoming a bigger star
The ends of the heroine are the same and that is to defeat a certain someone in showbizness that is (was) mutually related to them. Other than that, they both contain the love triangle scenario though that facade is yet to be seen in Honey Hunt.
Honey Hunt is a tale about a girl who wishes to have revenge on her superstar mother. Also, she wishes to make a name of her own since a lot of people only saw her as the daughter of one of the world's greatest musician and a talented actress.
Both mangas have the exact same premise. The protagonists both enter the entertainment world in order get revenge by outshining an enemy. Also as usual in shoujo mangas both protagonists have two love interests which are introduced. Both get by on alot of luck because they both have no experience but the way they navigate showbiz is different due to their different characters and circumstances.
Both feature a teenage girl enters the entertainment industry in Japan with revenge on her mind, a love triangle of sorts, and a similar atmosphere that knows how balance drama with comedy.
If you like the concept of Skip Beat! then I think you'll defenitly like Honey Hunt.
It's basically about a girl entering showbiz for revenge, pursuing acting and a long the way she has to deal with love betrayal and hardship.
Not on the same lvl as Skip beat but defenitly worth reading.

Both protagonists have horrible parents that don't love them and are now living with a male caretaker. A boy has an obvious crush on them but they don't seem to notice. Both heroines have a strong personality despite their not so happy family life.
