It has a slow pace but the plot draws you in. I personally really enjoyed reading it even if it was suuuuuppppeeerrrr long. I didn't read all of it at once as well. I read it a bit at a time and if I was really into it I would binge read it.
I had tried to read it 3 times but I only manage to finish at on the third attempt but despite it's slow pace I really enjoyed reading it and the art is decent. It gets better with recent chapters.
It's super good. The art gets a bit more modern. It does start slow but there is an arc that makes you squeal, i'm not gonna spoil it completely, but even if there isn't any sex so far they do (tiny spoiler don't read if you dun wanna know)

live together @ 1 pt, and tsuraga gets a hickey, even if it wasn't in a romantic situation, it was still tense and definitely enough to keep you reading
lol I know what you mean it took me forever to get to skip beat until I was so bored one day and ran out of mangas to finally read it. The first few chapters were kinda boring until you get to the acting section where it gets interesting, I would recommend you to read it if you have a long time and actually read the text cause it gets a bit confusing
I pretty bored and out of bl to read and I just saw Skip Beat in the updates section, I've always mean to get around to reading but I can't for 2 reasons: I'm not big on the old art style but I've read mars so I can read this (but please tell me the art has sorta modernized in these past few years!?) and, the challenging part: I'm use to 6 chapter bl where the action start in chapter 2, now I'm not expecting sex, but please tell me this doesn't have a slow start?! I don't think I'd be able to get through! I mean it took me years to finally sit down and watch one piece because of its slow start! Given how long it is I don't expect anything less than the first 50 chapters being buildups but by than I need a side to root for or some indiction a relationship is forming: holding hands, kind gestures, blushing, something! Or else I just don't think I can do it...
So can you tell me if I should read Skip Beat based on my circumstances? Thanks (⌒▽⌒)
Also: is it cliche? I stopped reading shojou because they were all the same but considering how popular it is, I think not?
