Skip Beat! Vol. 7

Synopsis:

From where we left off in volume 6, Ren was surprised with Kyouko’s development in her skills. Questioning her about her motives for joining the industry to get revenge on Fuwa Shou, Kyouko replied that she practice acting now not because of revenge, but because she wants to be herself, Mogami Kyouko. From young, all that she has done was for others. Therefore, it is the first time she is doing something for herself. Ren was extremely pleased with her answer.

The next day after school, Kyouko saw the Kyurara commercial in public for the first time. It was a considerable success although Kyouko did not shine as much as Moko in the commercial. She met up with Ren as well as Yukihito-san, where the former gave her 90 points for her work as his temporary manager (it was actually 100 points but Ren stamped a minus 10 points on it making a total of 90 points and a mad Kyouko! LOLZ). At the same time, Fuwa Shou’s company called to request for the Love Me Section members to act in his latest promotional video (PV). However, Moko-san was unable to accept as she is going to work on a new drama, making Kyouko the only member who is going to work on Shou’s video. Kyouko accepted, very pleased to being able to use Shou as a stepping stone to rise in the industry as an actress. The scene shift to Shou watching the Kyurara’s commercial, wondering if the actress Kyouko is the same Kyouko that he knew.

On the day of the shooting, Kyouko met Shou again after such a long time, although she pretended not to know him. At the same time, Kyouko found out that the substitute actress for Moko-san in the PV is Mimori (a classmate of Kyouko, meaning that she knows kyouko’s full name!). Shou is seriously suspects Kyouko’s identity by now and tried to question Mimori, but was stopped by Kyouko’s demons. However, several incidents finally proved to Sho that Kyouko is really Mogami Kyouko – and from then on, the battle begins!

A little info on the PV shoot: the story is about 2 angels (Kyouko & Mimori) who were the best of friends, but a demon (Fuwa Shou) came in between of them, and Mimori’s character fell in love with him. However, Kyouko’s angel fear for her friend’s life and therefore decided to kill the demon.

Review:

Although this volume did not showcase much “acting” by all our main characters, we get to see a lot of real Kyouko scenes, which are really cute. And the final part of the volume is an incredible cliffhanger as Kyouko appeared in her costume for the PV shoot (She looks incredible!!!) and Shou was warned that Kyouko has the ability to pull other people in with her acting which makes it dangerous for Shou as he is suppose to be the one in charge. I’m so happy to see the shocked expression on Shou’s face. You deserve it!!!! Who asked you to dump Kyouko. GO REN!!!!!!

The drawing of the costumes worn by the 3 characters in the PV is incredibly detailed. I love Kyouko’s dress the most!
