I will be reading/commenting using the omnibus 3 in 1 editions. So Starting with 25-27 (3in1 vol 9) later today :)

[Sharon]

Cool. I will be starting later today as well.

[Jamie]

Omnibus 9-
Vol 25 midpoint (view spoiler)[Ren handled that kiss really well. That bouquet was SO over the top. Insane! (hide spoiler)]

This series sends me to such a happy place whenever I read it!

One of mine too! But I last stopped on vol 36 so this refresher is great and now I get to catch up. :)

[Sharon]

I forgot to read Volume 24 last time, so I will comment for that Volume as well.

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ Oh no...she planned his gift for the wrong day. I wonder why the LME directory was not up to date. That seems like something that they should do regularly, so mix-ups like these do not occur more frequently. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ It seems like Sho is a bit jealous. He does not want Kyoko to make any chocolates for Ren or Reino. It is interesting to see Sho this way. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ Kyoko and Reino in a secret relationship? I wonder what that would be like. Probably very awkward. I rather it be Kyoko and Ren. I love them together. I think Kyoko should have given Ren chocolates. I think he would have really liked them. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ Oh my...Sho's jealousy is showing. I can't believe he asked her if she really likes Reino that much after her chocolates for Reino got ran over by a car. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I thought Sho's outburst towards Kyoko was uncalled for. I really loved the way Kyoko retaliated and told him that he was the one who hurt her. I like how Kyoko gets a little victory against Reino. Who blackmails a person with chocolates? (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 24
Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ Stupid Shoko, why did you tell Sho that Kyoko is just trying to make him jealous? Now, he thinks it is true and brought a massive bouquet of flowers with him, while Ren is watching. I wonder what will happen in the next volume. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ Oh snap, Ren saw Sho grab and kiss Kyoko. I wonder how Ren will react. Heck, I wonder how Kyoko will react. She might smack him straight across the face. I hate to admit this, but I would love to see that actually. I was not expecting Sho to kiss her. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ Oh no! Sho stole her first kiss. That is not right. I wanted her first kiss to be with Ren :( Oh well. Ren's reaction was cute though. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

I agree with you. (view spoiler)[ I loved Ren's reaction. It was more laid back since she yelled at him. Also, the bouquet was over the top. I love this series. Please note this series will probably be all 5 stars for me lol. That is how much I love it. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ To hear that Ren's first kiss was not great must make her feel a bit better. Also, he gave her advice to use her first kiss as a way to draw experience for her acting. That might help her career too. I wonder if she can keep that promise because I do not think that Sho will stop until she is his. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ Please tell me Ren kisses Kyoko. I would love nothing more that. I think that would take her out of her angry funk with Sho and focus on Ren. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ Damnit! He kissed her on the cheek. Hey, at least her mind is on Ren instead of Sho now. I wonder how long it will take for them to finally kiss each other. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 25
Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I really love how he is making himself look like it is not a big deal, when in fact it is a big deal. It just shows that he does not want her to discover his true feelings for her. Also, I loved that she called him a playboy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Haha. His assistant didn't trust his actions either, calling him lecherous! (hide spoiler)]

Haha...I know!

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ Umm...I wonder what President Lory of the Love Me Members was thinking when she told Kyoko to do something dangerous. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ Why the heck is Ren using the name of Cain Heel? Also, why did Lord describe him as a mean person? Is this the dark side of Ren? Maybe an alter ego? This is making me think of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ I wonder what the second part of the mission is? Also, why did Lord choose Ren to be Cain for Kyoko's first mission? (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ I really like Kyoko in the goth outfit. Maybe because of Ren's reaction when he sees her in it. That was perfection! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Sharon wrote: "Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 1: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah, that alarmed me a bit. Love how sneaky he was with making sure they got them though. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Halfway through V 26 (view spoiler)[Using the Snake as a floaty....wrong....so wrong lol. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yes! I love how is is shocked! And that hotel rooms with one bed scene! *twistedly gleeful*. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ I love the living situation that Ren and Kyoto are in. I find it hilarious that there was only one bed in the hotel room and they had to sleep on the bed together. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 26
Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I think Setsu/Kyoko and Cain/Reb's relationship is really dynamic. I hope that it gets more explored. The story is fantastic. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 1: (view spoiler)[ I really love that Kyoko is embracing her character as Setsu. I also love how adorable but dangerous Ren is when he turns into Cain. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ That's right, Ren! Don't let them hurt Kyoko. Also, the dangerous side of Ren's persona is on display and I love it. He is a fantastic character. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ It is interesting to see how Kyoko reacts to seeing the dark side of Ren. It shows that her that he has her problems as well. It is very interesting. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ Haha...she walked in on Ren while he was in the shower. How embarrassing that must have been for her. I love it. Must be hard to concentrate after seeing him like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 5: (view spoiler)[ Aww...poor Ren. Do not feel rejected. I will love you and I know that Kyoko is not as calm as you think she is. I wonder if he will tell her how he feels because of these feelings. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ I hope Ren tells Kyoko how he truly feels. I am glad that he realizes that he needs her more in his life. That is the start of everything. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Skip Beat!, Vol. 27
Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ Kyoko is really becoming a better actor and is starting to show her real capabilities. I am happy that she really is driven to succeed. I love Ren's shocked reaction along with the other people on the bus. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[He needs to but I honestly wonder how she would react to that. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done with for Vols 25-27

I will be switching to single vols now as my library doesn't have the rest in omnibus format.
