Skip Beat! Chapter 248 Discussion

How am I supposed to make it another month~~~~?!?! That was quite a shock, and such a cliffhanger! This is going to get really tense...



I wonder what Ren is thinking and feeling now, after Kyoko shared the story of her first kiss with him, and now this...

I didn't remember that kiss either. I mean, it feels like ages have passed since then even though there were just some weeks.

That is insane! We are now with (almost) 250 chapters up and this story is so far from ending!! I feel like the chapters are very short and I miss the interactions with Ren and Sho.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who struggled to remember this kiss, I really need to forget about the series and give myself several chapters at once, I'm so impatient for the next part already

Just when Kyoko nailed the part. Shon's kiss raises its ugly head

I was so confused... I didn't remember that kiss at all. Well, I hope this pushes Ren into a bit more action, if it makes him distance himself I'll be so angry. It feels like they haven't evolved for ages.



I feel that way too, though storyline wise it's probably been only a month or so since the Guam/Kuon/Cain interactions. The story focused on healing Kuon's wounds then and the next step was to deal with Kyoko's issues with her mother. Both characters have to overcome the pain of their past before they can move on and deal with their relationship with each other. For Kyoko, I think this has to include Sho as well...letting go of the demons (literal in her case) and anger that got this whole ball rolling. I think it'll be a long time before we see this arc unless it is pushed forward by Kuon's jealousy and a conflict between him and Sho (perhaps in regard to this photo). In addition, once or before she gets past that she and Kuon will have a confrontation about him lying to her all this time. I feel like she'll revert to negativity and self loathing again briefly for being "tricked" once again. Ren really should have just told her in Guam...he could have avoided that whole mess and hurting her all over again. Knowing Kyoko she'd be a bit lost initially, but she would have come around more readily in time. The betrayal of a continued lie I worry will kill their good rapore. Since she met Kuon's father Kuu I wonder if he will be  a catalyst in her discovering Ren's true identity. Regarding time specifically...there was a chapter, have to see if I can find it, a while back that made a time reference that exposed that the time between the Valentine's Day arc and now has only been about 3 months maybe less...isn't that amazing/crazy!?! Think it was in reference to Valentine's Day and White Day and giving/belated gifts. There is only a month between these holidays. The overall time span of the series has been about a year and a half to two years at most! For example, Kyoko hasn't had another birthday yet.



Ah here! Chapter not needed...got to hand it to the fans that maintain the wiki a site.

Monthly releases are hard for my memoriest... when did the picture at the last page happen? I don't remember seeing it... which chapter was it 😶





The picture was taken when Kyoko was in deep trance mode after seeing her mom on TV. That's when Sho took advantage and kissed her, then she told him to get out of her life and then met Ren/"Corn" in the park and cried.



I knew that kiss wouldn't be ignored! That was their second (ugh stolen) time but Kyoko was in such shock that she forgot fretting over Ren's finding out! :(



Gosh I'm so impatient about the next chapter!!





Omg omg gotta twice :x i didn't realize till you mention it.

I don't think kyoko distract by that thing, actually she jut shock and can't thinking straight.

Compare when ren kiss her, she totally concern.

He saw that she had gone from ready to cry to having dead eyes. He kissed her to snap her out of it by making her angry...he even says to her that she should have gotten angry and punched/kicked him, he expected that reaction.





Yeah, I completely agree with you! I remembered it kind of badly, but now I do. I thought the same, that he was trying to get a reaction out of her. What I meant by taking advantage is that selfish side of him, reluctant to admit that he's in freaking love with her.



But I'm sorry Sho, even if I (sort of) waver sometimes, the Ren x Kyoko ship departed so long ago!

This is torture! 😭 I hope Ren doesn't get angry or start shying away again.
