Skip Beat! – 05: Piggy-back Me Too

Another lovely episode of Kyou’s naivety indeed!

Regardless of how predictable this episode turned out to be, I’d still like to know why Ren finds Kyou’s reason behind joining the entertainment industry to be so despicable. Like Ruri, I admit that someone without talent doesn’t necessarily deserve to win a debut by participating in a laborious, and rather ridiculous (in a sense), “game”. Right now, though, I respond to Ren’s presence with a mere shrug. So until he bursts the bubble, for me he’ll continue to be the forgettable dull character, although I don’t hate him so much any more. In any case, I demand more of Sho’s arrogance.
Words can’t describe how inspiring and hilarious it was to watch as Kyou made assumptions about how severe Ruri’s “condition” was. Hilarious—-because it was so obvious Ruri was overreacting to the sun’s UV rays—–but inspiring because through this fake act, Kyou’s kindness returned. The part I enjoyed most was when Kyou sat herself down and lamented over the ten points she received. For a while she was moping, but I was touched by her optimism to think of this as starting afresh instead. The miniature Kyou devils were nicely played out as well, especially when the angel arrived. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I told myself several things at once.








All I can say, Konnichiwa Little Kyouko Angel.
I demand more Sho too!! Somehow the show gets so good when he’s around. I like Ren’s Character but if I had to pick over him or the antagonist (Sho), I would pick the Antagonist. Something about Sho’s vibes get me interested in this show.
Anyways, it will be interesting to see what happens next episode. Good review.
I haven’t had the chance to see this episode myself, but it looks very cute! I agree with your demand for Sho! They truly gave life to him and his scenes are always the most memorable, unlike Ren as you mentioned. Though, he will become interesting soon enough if they keep on following the manga!
