Franky-House released their SB 147 yesterday and it looks uber fantastic. It’s probably one of the best scanslations I’ve seen in a while. The pages a super big this time (go scanner! I love you shaea!) and the translations are very well done.
Read it online at http://haven-reader.net or you can download your very own digital copy from the Franky-House forum download links. Make sure to say thanks and spread the love! They deserve a little worship and admiration for the great work *hee*
Click to read Skip Beat! Chapter 145, an unexpectedly early scanslation at MangaFox!
I’ve been saying this since March: reading Skip Beat! this year has made it feel like the longest Valentine’s Day ever. Not that it’s not a great arc, it’s just, “Ohmygod. When is this ever going to be over?” Is the wait worth it? After reading 145, yes, I think it is 
Nakamura had to be planning something nuts (a love triangle like this is to die for!) but I think there’s still going to be a ton of crazy things to come! The arc’s not over yet–and, I know it’s driving all of you guys crazy–we still don’t know what Kyoko got Ren!
BOO to no updates until mid-September. That’s pretty harsh for us hardcore Skip Beat! fans 
Moving on: I’m a pretty faithful Franky-House person, but my friend was so insistent on this chapter that I had to go ahead and spoil myself. Quick thanks to the wonderful people who set this up:
Raws: Mechgouki
Editor: Kaoru-sama
Translator: Blue Light Translations
Keep up the great work!
Spring’s here! I love how the Manga knows it’s spring =D I just got the raws from Mel yesterday so my jaw totally dropped when I saw the SB! 138 scanslations already up on OneManga! Oh, guys, I am so excited to see us move on. As fun as it was to meet and play with Natsu, I am so ready for some Ren scenes! Wish totally granted! If you have a moment, stop by Shirayuri-hazu’s and give her some digital love! She did such an awesome job translating and tell her that her sound effects rock!
By the way, if you haven’t seen Golden Meliades’s blog pomme-de-miel for her Skip Beat! FanFiction, check it out pronto. It has a few goodies up there that’s not on FanFiction.net, so if you’re ever craving new stuff, that’s the place to go =)
Is anyone interested in the Taiwanese Skip Beat drama? Or the drama about that drama? Good grief, they really can’t make up their minds about it, can they? shouhaku from the Skip Beat! LJ community posted an Asian Fanatics Forum Article on Paper Rose. New actress and everything (o.o) I don’t know what to think. The SB! Anime was fun and all, but I really wanted a more modern animation style instead of the great 90’s-tastic style they did it in. For me, it was like watching the old version of Glass Mask when the new version was already out =P (I love Glass Mask new version.) But I think enough people enjoyed it that they can peacefully hope for a second season! There’s enough manga arcs for them to great 6 seasons of Skip Beat! LOL
Anyway, I need to start stalking the forums more for news on the Taiwanese drama. We can hope that it’ll be good =)

As always, I’m sure the guys wouldn’t mind getting some more help for faster releases. So if you have any talents–or just the desire to learn!–head over to Franky-House forums and help out!
Thanks to Golden Melaides ^-~ for always being on top of things! For us scanslations fans, it’ll only be a matter of time before Franky-House does a Skip Beat! 135 release. In the meanwhile, you can grab the raws and the translation from the Skip Beat! Yahoo! Group. Be warned, though! Kyoko’s acting has definitely improved, but the result is downright spine-chilling. In fluffier news, did anyone catch this super steamy Skip Beat! picture on the last page? Yowza, right?! Can someone grab me a high-quality scan of this? I smell a teaser FanFic in the works…^-^
If you’ve been checking my blog in the last two days, I’m really sorry about the crazy layout changes >.> I just wanted to switch to something that was more… How do I put this delicately? Parallel with my mind. Apparently, I’m in a crazy godzilla-like state. Nice.
I missed out on a lot of stuff over vacation: Skip Beat! Volume 16
Just finished watching Skip Beat! Episode 11, and I realized: I’m really not into the Anime. The portrayal of Anime Kyoko is a little too annoying to handle =/ She kind of freaks me out a little bit. I know. It’s sad because I really do adore her but I’m not going to lie to you: she’s just not as likable. She’s still really cute and very entertaining to watch but there are a lot of scenes where I find myself cringing, just waiting for the show to be over. I skipped-viewed through most of this episode (it’s not one of my favorite arcs) but I stopped just in time to watch the interaction between Ren and Bo. It was the cutest part of the Anime thus far!
I have a ton of awesome screen caps from these episodes that I need to post up but I gotta go to sleep because I’m hitting up the gym again tomorrow T.T On the bright side, I got in a great workout this morning. Not so bright side: eighteen hours later will give me that nice, achy burn in my thighs. WhOo! PAIN! Anyway, here’s a few of my favorite screens =) This is the best part about Skip Beat! having an Anime: beautiful and utterly ridiculous screen shots!
More to come =) Especially reviews on new Skip Beat! FanFics, awesome Skip Beat! FanArt, and jaw-dropping Skip Beat! Wallpapers. Fans have been busy this winter! Not that I mind. On the contrary ♥ It’s all the better for me. I might be behind on my Skip Beat! news, but that just means there’s more of a smorgasbord for me to enjoy! Hurrah! ♥
Quick update: Skip Beat! Chapter 132 has just been scanslated! I checked for this chapter everyday for the past three weeks for no reason and now that it’s finally here, I just want to ram my head into something thick. Beware, all who read! Major cliffhangers lie within!
