Review: Skip Beat! Volume 13 by Yoshiki Nakamura

Genre: Shoujo
Series: Volume 13
Pages: 208
Copyright: 2008
Publisher: VIZ Media LLC

Summary: from Good Reads
Kyoko Mogami followed her true love Sho to Tokyo to support him while he made it big as an idol. But he's casting her out now that he's famous! Kyoko won't suffer in silence--she's going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz!

Ren's acting test is about to begin, with his entire future hanging in the balance, and he's managed to make his leading lady Itsumi mad at him. Rather than confront him directly, Itsumi decides to hit him where it hurts. Will she sabotage his test, or will Ren be able to get it together and use his legendary acting ability to lead her through the scene?


Feelings: 

The president of LME gives Ren an acting test to make sure he can portray the emotions of love that are required by the character. Kyoko didn't know about the test and is upset.

Ren is able to pass the test and Kyoko, watching him, realizes that maybe Ren doesn't hate her as much as she originally thought. Kyoko is confused by this and she is worried that like Ren's other costars she has fallen in love with him. After Sho, she is unwilling to let that happen. Although, she is still very kind to Ren.
A volume full of surprises and fun. The mangaka keeps saying how hard it is for her to draw Ren but he is one of my favorite characters. He is surprising where other characters aren't. I'm looking forward to learning his back story.
