The One

If you've read Skip Beat and liked the concept I think you'll defenitly like The One.
Both are about girls entering the entertainment business,(Skip beat-acting,The one-modelling) and how they struggle to make it, falling in love a long the way aso.
The drawing style is similar. There is a bit of love and showbiz industry requires you to pose infront of cameras and wear fashionable just like in The One. They are both funny and both about a girl entering into an industry with little to zero experience yet a lot of talent. They both have a sad past related to their parents and the reason they are doing it both started from love. Either falling in love with a guy but then getting betrayed so they hated the guy and wanted revenge (Skip Beat!) or joining the industry to see the guy (The One). Either

You'll definately like The One if you like Skip Beat, whilst the main character in skip beat does acting, the main actor in The One does Modelling. Both main actors have similar love lives, with the male in interest having a bad past
One young girl with talent moving up and up the ladder of showbiz; two guys who seem to share some weird 'bond' with her... All too similar.

Both stories have great minds behind it that will send one surprise at you after another. Every time you think the arc or the plot can't get any better, it'll do a complete 180 at you.
While I think there's definitely similarities between the characters, the comedy and how both stories borrow from similar settings (the entertainment industry), it really quickly diverges from there. The progress of The One (romance-wise) moves a lot quicker than Skip Beat. Different characteristics and themes are used very differently between the two stories, which makes both stories so enjoyable and not repetitive.
I thoroughly enjoy both equally, I think a lot

Both of these are very similar. To start of with, they are both about girls trying to make it big in similar careers, (The One - Modeling, Skip Beat! - Acting/Entertainment) and fall in love along the way. The characters also remind me of each other.
Kyoko - Lele
Sho - Angus
Ren - Eros
I'm sure if you enjoyed Skip Beat! or The One, you will definitely enjoy the other.
Both feature women trying to make it in a very competitive industry. There is an element of romance in both as well, but I think The One takes a more mature/less comedic spin to tell the story.
Both are stories about a girl trying their best to reach the top of the show business. One in acting and the other in modelling. Both tells the story about their growth over time, how they overcome their obstacles, and thier love life.

Although they don't relate in the same line of business/industries, I find Skip Beat and The One similar because of the idea of following dreams. Both series' main characters tries to make a name in their line of business through hard work. At the same time, there are complicated relationships that deals with friendship, love, betrayals, etc. There's a good degree of realism from both series as well especially on a professional level. Do note that Skip Beat has more comedy while The One adapts more mature content.
Both manga have high school girls who are trying to become famous. In both manga, the characters encounter many obstacles and encounter unexpected friendship and love, although they are different types.
Both manga will probably make a person laugh even though the authors have different styles of portraying comedy.
I am personally enjoying the manga and I always look forward to the new releases, so I think anyone who is a fan of "Skip Beat!" would be a fan of "The One" and vice versa.

Both mangas have young female leads who dream to be the top in their respective fields in the entertainment industry (acting for Skip Beat!/modeling for The One). Both protagonists also get involved with rivals who are jealous of them as well as with men who work with them and eventually develop feelings for them.
The One basically is also about the entertainment business only that it's about the fashion business. The protagonist also doesn't have much memory of her parents and it has a lot of time jumps. It's a really good manga if you are into so lowkey smut and drama. This is one of my favorite manga.

Both have heroines that do not have any plans to enter the entertainment industry initially but they change their decisions because of a 'guy'. Both heroine possess a lively character, never give up, ability to connect to their fans/audience, and forgiving heart. Both are lively and tries to learn and improve themselves for the better at any chance, little or not, they get. IF YOU LIKE ANY OF THE OTHER, BIG CHANCE OF LIKING THE OTHER ONE IS POSSIBLE.

Both are pretty spicy stories with a female lead in it, as well as them being very assertive and doesn't take shit from anyone as well as nice art and character designs too. As well as an entertainment industry focus in it as well too.
