Skip Beat! Chapter 223 Discussion

Shou  just got REKT! He Just kissed Kyouko but she didn't give a shit! Lol XD



Her faces made me speechless ^^; The way those empty void of emotions faces were drawn one page after the other was mad props worthy.



And then dat finale. Ren is here! And Kyouko just starts crying ;_; also amazing art to depict her emotions too.



Shou's ship has been hit by a nuke and is drowning. Ren's ship going full force :D Also loved Ren's sad face when he saw Kyouko :(

I agree with everyone. I also have a small soft spot for Shou. I felt so bad for Kyouko... Her eyes... So her way of getting her mom to sign the contract was in a way her confirmation that her mom still ackowledged her existence and that as long as Kyouko is in this industry, her mom would not be able to ignore her... If that makes sense? But then she denied the existence of her right on national television... And when she started crying as soon as she saw Ren... Oh man. Wonder what'll happen next. Hope the next chapter comes out fast.

I feel bad for Shou. Kyouko hates him so much that she wouldn't even try to cry in front of him, not only that, she wouldn't even show her true feelings at all.



After all, I just can't hate Shou. He's the worst but I still love him :(

Idk... I kind of felt like that was a pretty dull chapter. Also, Kyouko was completely dead around Shou, understandably, but she really really brightened up around Ren. It sort felt like she brightened up a slightly unreasonable amount...? Ugh, Shou's kind of an annoying guy because he's only acting all nice now that Kyouko has gotten some fame/ditched him for Ren. Anyways, I wonder how Ren will comfort her? Will he finally reveal the secret about his identity??

I sooooo agree with you. I have a soft spot for Shou.

As expected a chapter that makes you burst with emotion.



Poor Kyoko-chan, having to go through all turmoil regarding her mother, I can't help but be teary. I wasn't at all surprised that she could not open up and cry in front of Shou. Afterall all her life she hid her tears, to not bother him. He couldn't have done anything to help her anyway.



However I'm happy to see Shou evolving and growing. In the last chapters we can see his real concern for Kyoko, and he acts like a friend, in a way. I'm pretty sure he's sorry that has used Kyoko like that, and he can't help but think that he wants her to grow but in a way he keeps her trapped in the past because he doesn't want her to forget about him. I'm pretty sure we will see his confession coming some time soon (well not that soon considering the pace of the manga).



However Ren is her salvation now! He was the one who helped her open her heart once more. And his feelings for her are stronger than ever. After all she was the one to bring him out from the darkness, now he can definitely be there for her. He didn't call her because he knew she would go somewhere to cry, trying to find her Corn.



It will be very interesting if he really saw Kyoko and Shou kiss, but I'm sure he won't be angry this time. He'll understand that it's all Shou's doing, after all he provoked him a number of times.



It will be great to see Ren confront Shou and telling him to stay away from Kyoko. I'm pretty sure he can do that now, because I have the feeling he's not going to hide his feelings anymore, at least not deny them and won't try too look indifferent when the 2 of them meet again.



Well we just have to wait and see.

I have never been happier to see Ren in my life!!! Shoutarou your efforts, though way misguided and totally crazy, were well meant but a serious case of too much too late.lol If anything seeing him probably made her feel worse. He also super hurt her after being the one she looked to for love after her mother's rejection. I'm so happy she had and has Corn. Beautiful sweet Ren. I just hope she lets herself be comforted by him. Just hug her and let her cry Ren darling.



Gawd I wish the next release was tomorrow!!! That was such a beautiful epic cliff hanger.
