Skip Beat! Chapter 137

I'm not sure who released Skip Beat! 137 but the job was a sloppy one. Even worse than the FH release of 136. But FH's release qualities always fluctuate; one moment they're dismal, the next they're amazing. Are people doing this blind, I can't help but wonder? I sort of understood what the characters were trying to say sometimes, but most of the time I was scratching my head, unable to make heads or tails of it. Sometimes, you can tell that they're trying too hard to translate every single word 'correctly', but it comes out sounding really really wrong by English standards. The language becomes stiff and awkward.

Anyway, as I said I had trouble following the story this time, but the ending of this sure surprised me. I'm still thinking, "What?!"

Skip Beat! v22 c136

I downloaded the latest chapter of Skip Beat! by Franky House Scanlations not too long ago, and although the translation is shaky, I still can't wait for the next chapter! ><; This is getting exciting. Kyoko's growing so much as an actress. However, I'm starting to miss Sho and Ren. They rarely make appearances now. But at the same time, I'm also kind of glad since I can see Kyoko's prowess. Muahahaha! Oh, I've also taken the liberty of uploading this chapter for the few who visit here. :P

Synopsis: Skip Beat

Since Chrysalis requested it, I'm writing a small synopsis that's in more detail than my previous one. This one is for you, Chrysalis!

I assume this is Vol 01's Cover. Although it looks
more like a magazine.

Mogami Kyoko is a plain ordinary girl who wishes nothing more than to be useful to her prince in shining armor Fuwa Shoutaro (Shou) whose dream was to become a rock star. Unfortunately, he's a cruel man and casts her aside once she's of no use to him, having realized his dreams and stole the number one spot on the Oricon Charts with his debut single. Shamed and angered, she swears vengeance upon him. The once kind, innocent, and pure Kyoko is no more. In place of her past self is one driven with determination and revenge.

There is one man in the show business that Fuwa Shoutaro hates more than anyone. That person is Tsuruga Ren, a very successful and popular actor. Kyoko in her haste to become climb up in the show business in hopes of beating Shou and making him regret throwing her aside, meets Ren who deeply disapproves of her reasoning for entering the show business. In fact, he starts hating her. However, she is determined to not let it phase her.

However, their relationship of hatred soon changes as certain memories are revealed and slowly but surely, they become friends. Still, memories from the past come back to haunt Ren. He refuses to take any further steps in pursuing Kyoko, determined to remain just friends and coworkers.

Kyoko on the other hand is also determined not to fall in love again. Her past experience with Shou has left a bad taste in her mouth when it concerns love. She refuses to be shaken by such an emotion, instead she hopes to make something of herself. Everything she has done in the past was for Shou. This time, she strives to do something for herself for once in hopes of creating a brand new Kyoko.
