Even if their love story is sooooo slow, i still love reading skip beat because ya know it has other genres too hahaha.... So its not that boring to me... Rather, i think i have a thing for slow romance/setting because it builds the story well, not just for the main characters but also for the side characters too(≧∀≦)
Exactly! I think we've been spoiled by some fast-paced stories and are therefore losing patience with Skip Beat! To me, shoujo is like a roadtrip. We all know where it's gonna go because it's so predictable, but we like the journey. We shouldn't place importance on the destination. That's why it's so satisfying when they hold hands for the first time, or when they have their first kiss. It makes these moments special instead of just a matter-of-fact thing. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
I've seen a lot of comments on how boring Skip Beat! has become, and I understand why people feel this is the case. It is notorious for dragging on this love story, but I feel this chapter is still interesting in it's own right.
For those of us who have been reading this manga for a long time, we are not new to this bond, that Tsuruga Ren describes in the beginning of the latest chapter, between Sho and Kyoko. For most of the story we've seen it from Kyoko's perspective and it's pretty clear that she hates Fuwa Sho. But this is basically the first time we are seeing it from an outsider's perspectve. I think that is why some people are confused because we are so used to being in the middle of their quarrels. So from an outsider perspective they would appear close. As for what happened in the rest of the chapter, it's not really necessary.
I'm hoping that in the next chapter something interesting happens because I feel that Ren's patience (like the rest of us) is wearing thin. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
