How much volume does Skip beat have?

Hana To Yume?! Whats that!?
It's a magazine where new skip beat chapters are released in.

Can someone please UPDATE soon!??
There's a lot of different scanlators groups that picked up Skip Beat! Translating takes a long time, so you should just wait for it to be release.

Can you tell me where (or in what chapter) [insert event here] happens?
Re-read the series. Is there any problem with that? DO NOT post a new tread if you have this question. If you do post it here, I or other MangaFox members will answer you questions. OR use this link:Need help? Don't know when this happen in Skip beat and what page it was on? (Not all chapters, if you can't find your question here - please post in this thread as a comment)

Where should I start reading if I just finished the anime?
Beginning. Is that clear? B-E-G-I-N-N-I-N-G. The first chapter. The reason for this is because mangas and anime are NOT ALWAYS the same. Sure it might have the same character or main idea or setting, but you might have missed out on some information. If you want to be stubborn and not listen to me then go here: Volume 11 chapter 64 It's better if you start here and get use to the manga.

Is there really a game for Skip Beat! ?
Yes there is. It's for PS2 and in Japanese. No it's not out in English. Go to this tread for more information: Skip Beat! video game website!

Is there a site where I can have a summary of Skip Beat PS2 storyline?
You're in luck. Go here: Mechgouki Summaries. Make sure to leave a comment for him if your planning to read the summaries.

Why Is Skip Beat Rate so low?
There's new mangas coming to MangaFox everyday. People can get different interest and stop reading Skip Beat!. But ask yourself this question. Why do you think it is so low? The rate is based on YOU Otaku. So don't ask us why it's so low.

Why is Skip Beat! so popular?
Because people like it. Is there a problem with that?

Should I read Skip Beat?
What do you want to do? A lot of people like Skip beat but some don't. But i do recommend it. It's not a all girly romance manga like normal Shojo. But if you do end up hating it, please don't post a tread here saying you do. Just forget about skip beat and move on with your life.

Why can't i post or make new treads in skip beat forum?
You probably have been banned or in some special cases, the forum as a whole got shut down due to horrible behaviour

Why does forums get close down?
Forums can be close down for different reasons. People are spamming or not following the rules are mostly the case.

*ETERNAL LOVER NOTE*
Sorry for being so inactive on this thread. I was once very active on the forum, but i am not now. Please send me a message or post on my wall post if it's something that i should add on to the first post. -bows- i am sorry for not doing my job

[MissInformed]

This is good. We now need a sticky for "can you tell me where (or in what chapter) [insert story arc / event here] happens?" There are a lot of those as well. Also "where should I start reading if I just finished the anime?" That could all go in one sticky, but just a suggestion. ^^;;

The only thing I sorrrrrta question (mods, feel free to delete this with your modliness, or I will if you like)...I haven't posted anything like this, but I do understand asking if there's other manga like Skip Beat in the Skip Beat forums because that's where you're sure to find the other Skip Beat fans. I hardly ever venture out of the individual manga forums, and I think there are a lot of people like me. It would seem that a thread asking for recommendations like that (not just general recommendations) might not get the desired views (and therefore get fewer quality replies) elsewhere. But then again, that might just be my lack of experience talking.

I understand what you're saying, even though I'm not a Mod, i'll answer your question. You see, in a series "forum", that's where you talk about one series. You don't talk about other series that are "like" *insert series*. I find the tread really useful, a lot of people are active there too. So i bet you'll get a lot of suggestion. This is what i believe.

[MickyViolet]

Uhmm. im sorry, Thanks for your previous help and linking me to this page
But i still do not understand how to find specific scenes or events;
I went to the Wiki Site a fore mentioned but that still did not help because the title description does not exactly correlate with the scene that i was searching for.

[SweetxSecret]

ok....no coment .Uh whats this thread for?

Not to sound rude, but didn't you read?
To sum it up, It's a FAQ to prevent useless threads, like the ones listed above.
Answering the same questions over and over again, gets annoying,
so I think that's one of the reasons this thread is even here.

Doesn't it annoy you, when there are 15 threads saying the same thing?

Ex: "Skip Beat! rank #2!", "Skip Beat! Rank Low?" "Why Rank SO LOWW?" "What happened to rank?"

Thank goodness, this thread was made, otherwise, I would lost my temper EVERY day!

Ariel Lin withdraws from acting in Extravagant Challenge; manager angry about unfair treatment
Source: China Times
Translated by: indescribable @ http://asianfanatics.net/


The fate of GTV's [Extravagant Challenge] is filled with many obstacles, earlier having to cease filming due to problems with the Japanese management, then, after negotiation, GTV has just recently announced they would begin to film again, when the news breaks out that the main female lead Ariel Lin has decided to withdraw.

Ariel Lin and GTV have collaborated for a very long time, with a very good tacit understanding and interaction; many of GTV's idol dramas have had her as the emergency rescue squad. Other than helping the then newbie Wu Zun become famous in [Tokyo Juliet], later she also disregarded her status and took over Da S' abandoned role in [Love or Bread].

Promises like bounced checks; collaboration in crisis
However, GTV idol dramas have been [regarding males as superior to women], therefore having events happen like [Hot Shot] not finding a female lead, and the situation of Da S withdrawing from [Love or Bread]. According to this understanding, this time Ariel Lin withdrawing, the main reason is also because the conditions that GTV put out are solely favouring Jerry Yan, yet one after another, the promises for Ariel Lin are like bounced checks, causing her manager to be extremely angry, using withdrawing from acting to protest the unfair treatment by GTV.

GTV responds; only salary is different
Regarding this, Choustar Entertainment manager Zhou Mei Yu expressed without a choice: "GTV has always been taking good care of Ariel, but this time GTV, in the process of dealing with [Extravagant Challenge], not just to Ariel, but has also caused other artists from the company to feel wronged, so now we will just let Ariel concentrate on taking good care of her music and movies."

GTV's vice president Lai Cong Bi said: "Apart from the salaries of male and female leads being different, the other treatment is all the same. We have many things where the first one we think of is Ariel, and in this time with some misunderstanding, we will do our best to communicate; the other parts we will not respond to."

Marching into the music business; will visit Japan to receive training
Apart from this, Ariel Lin is going to be signing into Avex with onscreen lover Joe Cheng (Xiao Zhong), and has already quietly begun to collect songs, officially marching into the music business! After Cyndi Wang left Avex, they have been actively searching for an adequate substitute to be Avex's top female star, and has even arranged for Ariel Lin to have dance lessons, with plans to take her to Japan for training in the near future, advancing towards becoming an all-round goddess. Regarding this, Avex has loosened their mouths and acknowledged their collaboration with Ariel Lin, and as for Xiao Zhong expressing that he is still in active contact with them, they do not rule out the possibility of a collaboration.

hey thanks for the info i really appriciate the hard work your doing making sure everyone is informed about certain things because alot of people don't sometimes or very clearly . But even though Skip beat has low ratings for being such a long and slow series it dosn't mean anything to me. i like this pace becuse it makes you think and question yourself on oh what would i do if i were in her/ his position or maybe this will happen etc. There arn't a hole lot of mangas like that you know and yah I'm kind of old schoolish type but hey It's good and you don't feel like your being rushed because if it really was i think i would lose entrest in Skip beat
