Skip Beat! Vol.2

Synopsis:

The 2^nd volume opens with Kyouko meeting Sho at the gas station she was working at. It was a really unpleasant situation for her as she was snubbed by him. Luckily for our heroine, the president of LME has taken notice of her, and therefore, accepts her as the first member of the Love-Me section. The members are suppose to accomplish any kind of tasks given to them by others (such as artists, managers etc) and they will be given points based on their performances.

We also have more insights to the thinking of Tsuruga-san as well. He knew that Kyouko’s purpose of becoming an actress is just to take revenge on Sho. But this is against the ethics and beliefs of Tsuruga towards his work– which is why – he doesn’t (seem) to like Kyouko.

Anyway, moving on to one of Kyouko’s 1^st tasks (actually her first task is to carry luggage!) – she is to attend to idol singer and all-round bratty princess wannabe, Ruriko Matsunai who is acting together with Tsuruga-san (such coincidence, ne?). Plenty of incidents happened and Kyouko took over Ruriko’s role in the movie! Read the manga to find out more.

Review:

In this volume, there are more of Kyouko-Tsuruga scenes (thank you Nakamura-sensei!!!) and they’re well executed. Plenty of laughs as well. I love the scenes in which Kyouko was cleaning the floor! The part where Kyouko found out that she gets to wear make-up (because of the movie shooting) was priceless as well. But I think the best scene in this volume is at the ending where Tsuruga & Ruriko saw Kyouko after her makeover. The transformation was amazing!

Ah, and I forgot – Tsuruga & Sho finally met each other!!! It was quite interesting to see how each think of the other. Sho was full of anticipation and wants to show off, but Tsuruga just coolly brush him off (kyaaa!!!! How cool is that!)
