Preliminary (197/? chp)
First thing you need to know before reading this manga is that this is WAY better than the anime. I remember watching Skip Beat years ago and thinking it was decent, but the manga is a totally different story. Secondly, this IS an ongoing manga, and even though there's almost 200 chapters in it(so far) and its super amazing, we still haven't reached the climax- that in itself is exciting to me.

STORY: The story is amazing, but it actually starts out a seemingly very lame story haha. You start reading about this teenage girl who naively gave up everything to move to the city with her childhood friend who's actually a famous popstar. He treats her horribly and she selflessly does everything just for him. It pisses you off just reading it. Then a turn of events and you watch this childish girl start to see reality. I suppose that its a bit slow with the romantic development, but that doesnt mean the romance is lacking. The comedy aspect of this manga is one of the best ive ever read in a rom-com. The dialogue in itself is great, but when coupled with their expressions and personalities, its priceless!

ART: This is a fairly old manga! The first volume was released over ten years ago so of course the art continually got better and better over time. Even starting out though the art was superb! Their 'slightly' exaggerated faces make you laugh super hard, and in the midst of all the gags, the serious scenes are drawn beautifully. This mangaka really has a way of drawing you in.

CHARACTER: By far their personalities are much much better than expected! I suppose saying it that way sounds bad but honestly I really had no idea what kind of characters to look forward to. They have a past and a future goal, and they are constantly looking for ways to improve themselves and reach toward their future. You see the characters grow and mature along the way and it interesting.

ENJOYMENT:
There's no mistake about it, this manga is a gem. You laugh, you smile, you hurt, you get mad, a story that makes you want to keep reading. I've read this through 3 times and each time I read it straight through without more than food breaks. That has to count for a lot.

OVERALL: READ IT!
