Free Talk: Skip Beat [Chapter 264]

The first part of the chapter verifies that what Erika did was quite effective that Kimiko is giving up on showbiz. It is definite that was Kimiko’s original personality. I guess she is indeed talented in acting but used it for her own benefit to get ahead.

After all, with just that story about the ring and well, a little help from Kyouko’s misunderstanding/imagination, she actually believes that Ren has a thing for Kimiko. It is currently causing some awkwardness between the two. And, I’m not sure how long that will last. Wait, maybe it won’t. Maybe in the next chapter, that will be tackled again. After all, Shou was shown in the last chapter.

Apparently, the producer is a fan of the two’s mentor. Ah, the regret. But then, I think it is better this way. That is for them to decide on who will play the role based on who they think fits the role compared to the connection to one’s idol. I don’t think Kanae would want to get the role that way.

In a way, I’m amused that the producer would actually be weird out when Kyouko was fangirling all over the floor about Kanae. And here, Kyouko is weird out when the producer is doing pretty much something similar. =P

And, Kanae is moving on after this failure. Ah, by the way, does this mean she failed in Lory’s Love Me mission since she didn’t get that role? Anyway, in the end, just like Chiori, Kanae is no longer limiting herself to certain roles/comfort areas and venturing on to other things.

Actually, aside from Hiou who probably won’t be too okay with Kanae possibly leaving for US, I think Kyouko, too. I wonder why the mangaka would make Kanae go. Haha, and I’m not sure if the mangaka is going to keep this rolling or suddenly drop it like before...say Shou’s parents visiting <- maybe will be revived in the next arc or wanting to know Ren’s real name or is there a secret White day gift or not, etc.

:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*: 

There are some interesting plotlines that can come about from Kanae going to the US. One, maybe she’ll find out something about Ren and tell Kyouko about it? Two, a reason for Kyouko to go to the US later on. Like vacation or visit Kanae. Then, perhaps, Ren will accompany her. Lol, of course, maybe just meet her there since there is that hair dye thing he has to do. Unless, she already knew his identity before they both go ^^

And, the cover page is such a teaser. Yes, how many more years before we can actually witness that. Or, will we even witness it? What if the series ends when they are officially together and that’s it? Well, this part ought to conclude the arc, right?

And, I think the new arc will be related to romance again. There are a lot of romantic issues left open in this current arc like why Kyouko didn’t get a White day gift, what about those stolen kisses, who is the real crush, Shou appearing again, etc.
