Kyoko knows she's not plain and uninteresting, no matter what Sho says. With the help of a little makeover, Kyoko's ready to exact her revenge. But first she needs to land an audition, and she sets her sights on the agency where Sho's lead rival works. Her persistence pays off, but her broken heart turns out to be a disadvantage. Kyoko has lost the will to love anybody, let alone fans she's never met. Can the agency see past this problem to Kyoko's true star potential? Rated: T

      Young performers determined to get to the top are not uncommon in shoujo (girls') manga, but Skip Beat! gives this theme an enjoyable twist. Kyoko Mogami is no professionalshe can't act or sing. She's in Tokyo to support her lifelong friend Sho, who is singing his way to fame. Kyoko is utterly devoted to Shountil she discovers that he only brought her along to handle his room and board. Realizing that she is nothing but a servant to her idol, she decides to beat Sho at his own game. Accommodating, hard-working Kyoko gets herself a makeover and a ruthless new attitude. Using the culinary skills she developed helping out at Sho's family's inn as a child, she fights her way into a talent agency as a "talento" (Japanese celebrities known for various talents, and who appear on variety shows, in ads, etc.). The agency's only concern? Her uncompassionate, unfeminine attitude. Whether Kyoko will learn to balance temperance and confidence is left to future volumes, but book one introduces a tough, atypical, and funny heroine well worth the read. Suited to the 12+ crowd and a pleasant and unobjectionable fit for library collections.Rebecca Schaffner, Saline Dist. Lib., MI
