Quickie XP Skip Beat update

Oh. My. God.

I can't say anything without ...

If only I had my own grudge demons. 

They'd be busy little fuckers.

Listen people. If you have ever read Skip Beat or watched the anime or the Taiwanese live-action drama, you need to get caught up with the manga. There's a lot that's unresolved but ... progress. 

My sister said, "We've been waiting 10 years for this!!!!!!" Fuck yes, we have. Probably longer.

I really can't say any more.

With what's going on in the world, I figure the best thing I can do right now is to completely lose myself in a book (or in this case, a manga). I haven't yet gone all the way back to the very first volume but I'm considering doing that because it. is. just. so. good. Not that there aren't slow parts--there are. But Kyoko-chan's character is a masterpiece of heartbreak, determination, spirit, and, of course, love. And I have to say, the mangaka has fleshed out Ren/Kuon so fully that he now shares the spotlight with her.

I'm rooting for you Kyoko!
