Skip Beat!

Skip Beat! is a Japanese animated television manga series that ran on TV Tokyo from October 2008 to July 2009. The show tells the story of Kyoko, a bright and naive 16-year old girl, who learns that her romantic love interest only keeps her around for chores and money. The young man, Shotaro, has dreams of becoming a pop star and uses the fact that Kyoko will do anything for him to his advantage. When Kyoko learns of his intentions, she seeks revenge and vows to become a pop singer as well - and she intends to accomplish her goal even faster than Shotaro. In the process, she encounters a number of obstacles that hold her back, but she ultimately gains strength in overcoming life's hardships and becomes stronger for it. Skip Beat! began as a comic book series in 2002 before it was also adapted to the small screen. As of 2011, 28 comic books and one fanbook have been created of the series. MORE
