Skip Beat! Chapter 169 Discussion

You're seriously hoping for development? This manga hasn't had any since Ren noticed he's in love with kyoko. I'd love to see the "bad guys" again, Sho or anyone, but this is boring.



I don't expect anything anymore. Nothing happens, it's always the same. The new chapters fail to make me feel exited. What a shame. :/

I so agree!!!!! I read this now more for the Sho and Reino moments than I do expecting any development with Ren and Kyouko's relationship.

Hoping for some now after all these chapters feels like I'd be hoping for a miracle. At this point I think I'd much rather have Kyouko stay ignorant to love, and just have the manga focus on the havoc that Shou and Reino cause in her life.

----------------------------------------

                        I'm so glad this chapter explained the 'conquering the horrible meal' better. I have to admit I was a little dazed and confused by that analogy.



Here's hoping to some Ren + Kyoko development!

Ren just keeps running in circles like a chicken without a head. It's starting to get annoying. And the beginning of the chapter whole time I was like, "Wait? Did I click on the wrong manga?" with the whole retarded rooster thing except that I recognized the art. I think this is the first time I've ever complained about Skip Beat! lol. Where's Shou and that crazy stalker that stole Shou's music? They're the bad guys, sure, but they're hilarious. Ren is an amazing character, but the mangaka needs to push him out of the picture a bit! Even Kyouko, a bit.

Kuon with Rick... interesting interaction.  And that relates to why Ren tries to eat that horrible meal.

Also was that jsut the outline of princess rosa or did she somehow manage to find her? Did I miss that?

She didn't lose the stone. The lock came lose, but she noticed it on time, so she didn't lose the necklace.

(That said, I had this vision of doom that the lock might come lose while Ren is wearing it, with all sorts of drama to follow....:P )



I don't think the series is boring at all. For Ren & Kyouko to reach the stage to do some actual kissing etc., they first have to deal with their issues. Ren is doing just that atm., and Kyouko is taking baby-steps as well.

I very much like how the mangaka is connecting dots at this stage, like

. Ren's fondness of that chicken in the past might explain why he so easily opens up to Bo (Brian -> Bo, not that far off)

. Kuon giving corn as charm to Kyouko, Kyouko giving Princess Rosa as charm to Ren, now he's in Kuon-mode. They've come full-circle, very nice.

^Don't give up hope yet, we still have much to see before Kyoko's debut and the resolvement with sho and reino :) so we still have much in store for us.



On the other hand, I'm so glad to see Ren in vibrant mode again, I guess we'll be seeing more of the cain siblings <3

Have you guys realized where Ren looks exactly like Rick in the sense he wears the same clothes and has the same hairstyle?

considering the speed of this arc I'll put skip beat on hold for a while and then eat a bunch of chapters at once, yeah.



ps. where is shou btw xD



I do that too, wait for it to stack a little. Not only Shou but everyone else even the guys who were Shou's competition...

But I do love this manga.

just so-so. have to wait another month
