Skip Beat
came here for the romance, stayed for kyoko's character development.
I think the mangaka did an amazing job on kyoko because her personality stays very consistent throughout the entire manga so far while still having her own progress in achieving her goals and being more mature in acting and her relationships. kyoko is so smart even though she SEEMS clumsy and is mostly simple-minded. she's definitely not dumb and she makes very reasonable decisions throughout the manga. I agree that her and ren's relationship barely moved romantically, but I think the mental pining and conflict that they went through due to their own lives (especially being in the showbiz) made the confession so worth it and they were so mature to decide on what they did with their relationship (no spoilers here hehehe)
i hope we get to see kyoko blossom as an amazing actress and truly get the recognition she deserves and go on bigger stages.
five days ago I wondered why this manga has been going on for 20+ years, now I'm hoping it never ends (though I will say that in the VERY recent chapters the story has been pretty stagnant but I'm sure it'll pick up once the arc genuinely starts)
Kono Oto Tomare!
I've never cried so much for a manga ever. I love everyone's stories.
