Skip Beat! Vol 1 Yoshiki Nakamura Books

So, at this point I have read up to the current chapter that's been put out for Skip Beat. I've been reading this series and watching it for about six years now, I think, and I've enjoyed every moment of it. The thing about Skip Beat is that in some ways its a really different kind of shojo manga. A lot of shojos spend all their energy focusing on trying to force these two people together, or make a character choose between two guys or two girls... and yes, Skip Beat has some of that, but there is so much more in it too. You see, there's a real substance to both of the characters who are involved in the relationship. It takes a couple people who have a mutual hate for each other upon meeting, and as we see them both grow into better people, we also see their relationship grow and change as well. We also see their careers change and grow. Over time, they become real friends and really fall for each other actually. The more time that passes, the more they learn about each other, the more cemented that bond becomes. And what's great about this series is that it doesn't just focus on the problems of the main character or the male lead, it focuses on both of their problems (and they are very real issues, not just teenage worries blown out of proportion). They give each other the strength to overcome their demons.

Another thing that makes this manga/anime series great is the fact that they don't only rely on each other. It shows that each of them have a network of friends that they are close to and can confide in. Each of these friends has a unique personality, and we understand them all. They even have their own issues, which can become minor details driving the story forward. I've never read a shojo series that spent so much of its time making us understand and fall in love with supporting characters. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever read a manga where the leading male love interest had a best friend who was both single and completely uninterested in making the female lead his own lover, while shipping his best friend together with her (and when I say he ships them together, I mean he SHIPS. THEM. TOGETHER.). Equally astonishing is the fact that Kyoko also has a best friend that likes to ship her with Ren--even though she's much quieter about it. In fact, I believe anyone who knows them and cares about them, kind of ships them together. But let me just say how also uncommon it is in any manga for several women to appear socially reserved and still likable. Normally they're chatterboxes, crazed gossipers, or spend all their efforts on trying to steal the attention of any man that moves. Anyone who reads manga regularly can probably relate to this. When it comes to this, Skip Beat is a breath of fresh air.

Now, Skip Beat has its own variety of over-the-top issues that occur, but you're dealing with a bunch of people in the entertainment industry (including a bunch of actors), so a little bit of insanity is expected. This series definitely is pretty long, and it isn't finished yet, so you will need to summon some patience if you start reading this series from the beginning. I can say, though, it's all worth it.

This edition is basically the beginning of Kyoko's step into the entertainment industry, and also how she meets and deals with Ren in the beginning. It's also the setup for what drives her throughout the entire series. If you don't have a good laugh at some point during this volume, you have no soul.

Skip Beat! Vol 1 Yoshiki Nakamura Books Reviews

I have been reading this series since 2005. I adore the characters, plot, and comedic/romantic tones that it carries. The three volume combination is such a great money saver for me as I have been waiting to own this series for a loooong time now. The quality of the pages are thinner but that doesn't deter away from the art or contrast quality. Please continue with the series 3-in-1 and Yoshiki Nakamura, continue your wonderful work!
I mainly bought the 3 in 1 manga for Skip Beat because I love the story and re-read it more than 3 times already. I had always wanted my own copy of the manga but the price of owning all mangas separately was daunting. Not to mention space consuming. The 3 in 1 mangas were perfect because they were very reasonably priced.

I've read some reviews that were disappointed by not having colored covers for the other 2 volumes in each set, but having purchased similar 3 in 1 mangas in the past, this did not come as a surprise to me. I would also agree with reviews that point out the decrease in quality of paper used for printing this edition of the manga. The paper they used was thinner compared to the original volumes of Skip Beat and compared to the other 3 in 1 mangas I have purchased. I think this is the only negative point I can say about this edition.

Overall, given the price I still think this is a steal. If you are looking to collect this series because you love the story and do not want to spend $200-300+ for the complete set, I would highly recommend purchasing this. The thinness of the pages would stop bothering you after the first 5 pages anyway because by then you would have been sucked into the story.
This manga series is an all around great drama for everyone! Skip Beat is not your typical shōjo because

There are no helpless characters. The mangaka didn't throw anyone under the bus in order to make the story-telling easier, which is a common theme in shōjo manga. Since the characters are individually driven, an equal amount of attention is placed on their individual and professional growth rather than completely focusing on romantic attachments, and that makes it an all around good drama with many comedic elements.

The characters are colorful and three dimensional, each with their own non-superficial flaws and closet-skeletons. Even the side characters are also carefully developed, and all experience growth during the story. The twisted bits make them very relatable even while we enjoy the far-fetched premise of the story, which makes it fun.

The mangaka (author/artist) weaves several types of humor into the story at just the right places. The humor connects the dramatic elements of the story and makes seamless transitions between panels, in addition to giving us further insight into the characters' minds. I regularly laugh out loud while reading the series, even after multiple times.

There's a bit of mild fan service for both preferences, but none of it is pointless. All around it's well-drawn and balanced. The mangaka has mastered drawing facial nuance of expression as the series matured and it /really/ makes the manga function in the setting she chose for it. Her use of aura illustration is funny and helps too. She doesn't waste space to avoid drawing details, and so she's also mastered effective use of focus in panels.

As someone who's rarely drawn to the shōjo genre, I can say that this is becoming one of the best series I've read so far. It is certainly my favorite in the genre.
So, at this point I have read up to the current chapter that's been put out for Skip Beat.
