I love this story and the more realistic pace and Maria is great most make her too young minded or undermine her feelings for Ren still great stories but this different take is refreshing
this is a reread so come back soon ok

I'm so sure that was a Maria conversation but I want to know the rest

sniffle I hope you are doing well! Just realized how long it heads been since you updated this wonderful story.
choose to reread from my fav list sadly looks like you have stepped away from this story. I do hope you one day return to continue it.

i must point out give... when Skipbeat first startedthe real agegrowing up in the 70's80's) of the creator her idea of his heritage issues is valid... as there were still real race issues in Hollywood... she does throw in some modern points but recall many things are drawn from her experiences at the age of the characters...
We have progressed much in the last few decades but there are some that still hold those beliefs... Though they are more of a minority...
Then take the fact those cringeworthy characters wanted ro hurt him emotionallyphysically any point of difference is good enough to most bullied... just saying... for a different perspective on why those characters would be like thatgiving her credit not seeing Californians all like those few harsh characters...

I saw this story and decided to give it a try. I’m loving it. Its going into my favorites list so whenever theres an update I will be notified.

Thank you for writing such an interesting and well balanced story!

This is one of my favorite Skip Beat fics! I love the characters' relationships with each other! Especially how Ren seemed to fit in with the LoveMe girls (I think Ren should be in the LoveMe section with his inability to believe that he deserves love and forgiveness)!

I really love how you included Chiori in Kyouko and Kanae's friendship! I feel that too many fics (at least those I've read) don't mention Chiori or do not develop her character. I love how she becomes close with the other girls! I love how Kanae and Chiori tease Kyouko about her relationship with Ren!

I also love how everyone, even those who Ren just met, could see how much Ren loves Kyouko just by looking at him. Everyone, except Kyouko lol

Also, I love the concept of Shouko being the manager of the LoveMe section. I also agree with you regarding her relationship with Sho. The first time I read Skip Beat, I actually thought that they were in a relationship, especially since Shouko was sitting on Sho's lap in the first chapter. Truthfully, I am indifferent to Shouko but I love what you did with her character here!

One of my fave parts was when Sho confronted the LoveMe girls! I love how they worked together to protect Kyouko, as well as Shouko and that Ren kept his promise of not fighting with Sho. It was hilarious how Kyouko and Chiori accidentally slipped in to their Box-R characters and Kanae was just so confused! I also love Ren carrying Sho like he was a child!

I love how you're developing Kyouko and Ren's relationship. Ren is slowly, but surely making his move, starting by having Kyouko realize and accept that they're friends. Once Kyouko accepts that she is friends with Ren, it might be easier for her to accept that Ren can be a love interest.

I also love that you included Saena and Todou. It's been a long time since I've read that chapter but I love how Kyouko is willing to give her mother a chance and how it's obvious that Todou seems to be in love with Saena. Although, I don't understand how Todou can be overprotective about Kyouko now but he turned a blind eye to how Saena treated Kyouko when she was a child.

I love the idea of the LoveMe girls going on social media and I am so excited about Kyouko's cooking series. I really hope that Ren can be a guest on the series! And also, I love Momose and I was so happy that you included her in your story! Hopefully, we can see more of her because the Dark Moon cast are some of my fave characters! I hope Momose can be a guest on Ren and Kyouko's new drama!

Speaking of the drama, I am very excited on how the story would go! I really love the twist that Ren's character is not the love interest of the main character! It would definitely show his and Kyouko's chemistry and I can't wait to see how they'll pull that off, in addition to the reactions of the cast and the audience! I have a feeling that Naomi will be a problem in the future. Although, she seems to be supportive of Kyouko, her obvious crush on Ren makes her think of mean things about Kyouko and I feel that she'll be really mad once she finds out that Ren is not playing her love interest. She already thought that Kyouko got the role because of her connection to Ren rather than her talent, so I feel that she'll think that they're each other's love interests because of their relationship. I hope I'm wrong because I do like how Naomi is portrayed so far and how she seems protective of Kyouko in the present.

I also love the Chiori's tweets! It's always hilarious to read them and I love guessing who made those comments. Will you eventually tell us who said them? Maybe in the final chapter?

I love this fic so much and I hope you update it someday! I am so frustrated with the pacing of the manga, so your fic is one of the stories that I love rereading when that happens! Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am very excited for the next chapter!

still such a great story don't let it rot in unfinished hell

Please update

will we find out the background of the quotes cuz I really want to know who Maria is lending spiders to

This story has been amazing! I hope you come back to it... and, regarding your authors note... sigh... that darn white day gift is taking forever, right? eesh! anyway, I seriously love what you've done with this story, and would love to see where you take it!

ah! another bjd collector! do you have Ren and Kyoko dolls? or maybe Cain and Setsu? I think of sample sizes as doll props, too... also, I'm wondering whose fan mail that was.. kinda terrifying, right there! lol!

This is a lovely fic! I've enjoyed the character interactions and plot development. Particularly, Kyoko's and Ren's adorkable bumblings. Indeed, all the characters are very in-character. I really wish there was more of this story. As such, I can only hope you'll add more chapters one day. Thanks for sharing what you have with us.

I'm so happy that I came across this wonderful story - and a little bit sad that it's been discontinued for so long. The characters are truly captivating and natural, their interactions funny and interesting, and the story line smooth and easy to follow. Thank you very much for a joy you gave me as a reader! Good luck with time and inspiration and all the best!

I just wanted to let you know that I spent the past 2 days reading all your fics and I loved them! You have a great grasp on the characters and your stories are very original. I loved the part in this story where the group went to visit Kanae’s family. You’re a very talented writer!

Know when the next few chapters come out this like great and wonderful story I still have to say in the story sho just made a huge ass out of himself and I do have to say having a drunk Ren fall off the couch is pretty hilarious along with when he gave Kyoko the dress and moko said that he was driving a gdm PorscheXD
