| I picked up Skip Beat eight years ago. In that time span, I graduated high school and college and entered the workforce. Please, please let this end at least before I turn 30. This is why I prefer Tokyo Crazy Paradise over Skip Beat. TCP knew where to end |

| It's kinda funny, in a sad way, that it's STILL not done a decade after people were already asking "when is it going to end?". I used to read Skip Beat but stopped because it was repetitive and getting nowhere. With a fairly limited core cast, you don't need 280 chapters to have "proper development". I'll probably pick it up again when it's done, which at this point looks like it won't happen in my lifetime lol. |
| I would be okay with the manga not ending just now and continuing to run for a few more years. BUT the pace really needs to speed up again. One conversation or situation is dragged out through several chapters now often. Why? There's no need for that. You could deliver content filled chapters for years to come because this is not only a romance story. There's so much to explore like Kyoko's acting career, her family life, the supporting characters. Even the romance between her and Ren could slowly progress and she could even become pregnant and whatnot. All that would give content enough for years and years even if you did not drag out a single event endlessly...Most of us like the characters enough to continue following the story even if the main objective of this romance "get together with Ren" is fulfilled. So why? It's actually making me enjoy the series less with the way it's going... |
| Hopefully soon. The time by when it ends I will probably be in my 30's |

At least the author doesn't take his sweet time with this one, like the one who wrote Berserk that died recently.Hopefully soon. The time by when it ends I will probably be in my 30's |

Take the Momiji's arc for example. Momiji is the first drama role, Kyoko has had to audition for, yet the whole filming was skipped through pretty fast. A decent amount of time was given to her training and the audition itself, but after that pretty much few scenes and we're done with that "A Lotus in the Mud" movie. The scenes that are stretched are scenes with great emotions involved, like the Heel siblings interactions, the "going in guns blazing", etc. and they should be so. Detailed from both of their perspectives. The meat of series that needs to be properly and slowly chewed for better digestion. |

Although, there are now 302 chapters translated, right? Are these all the 47 volumes? I see that the 48th volume will be only released in June: https://7net.omni7.jp/detail/1107270316?utm_source=twitter&utm_content=twitter&utm_medium=tw220203&utm_campaign=tw220203book_1 |
