Skip Beat!

I think I might have to read chapter 194 several times just to torture myself.

Kyoko... why do I feel you are walking the path to Femdom? o_o

xD Oh boy. I wonder how Ren hides his functions.

Thanks for the superb scans!

Bring him back Kyoko! The teacher is now the master!

Also... DEAR GODS WHY END THERE! Just one word more, ok a sentence - maybe a page but dangit don't end there!!!

In a perfect world we would finally see them getting closer, but it's propably like Lowlightt guessed and she forces him back into being Cain Heel.

Wow Kyoko, you so sexy.

This series is dragging out so long, I wish the mangaka would move the storyline along. It was so good when it first started, now it's the same thing over and over again.

Isn't this more, Ren broke character, and She won't break character and force him back into character with her acting?

i should be used to Nakamura-sensei leaving cliffhangers every end of a chapter....

@ShaiHH : as for me, this is a crucial chapters. I mean where kyoko will met the "wild Kuon" or actually the real Tsuruga and they both need Fuwa as the trigger between them so they could be open and accept each other.. Try read chapter 194. Unfortunately, i don't see it in batoto yet. You could read it in another online reader.

Story has totally lost me somehow. Why all that needless extra drama with Shotaro?
Like this we will have another 30 Volumes to finish this in as many years.

the story line's crawling... crawling...

@acolyte

Actually they really did take his work and delete all his credit pages. I kind of felt bad for him. I don't really like his releases mind you but he's still very consistent so I kind of feel bad that its hurting him so much.

Oh shit.

Houston, we've got a problem.

I believe I just got a Heart attack...

Chapter 192 has been scanlated by mangapanda.
They allow rehosting but I don't think batoto host mangapanda releases, and that's site mainly another MF/mangareader clone.. (according to their whois, and their ad template..)
Otherwise, in Mechgouki's site, he never released ch191-192.
My dumb guess is that he's testing the waters and checking if S2Scans wants to take over the release from now, and that he's sick of mangareader and else stealing his works (well not really 'stealing', just smooching off free cash from scanlator's works etc)
There goes down another victim of ignorant leechers :s

@maia chapter 192 is missing

I got impatient and read it on another online manga reader xD

Wtf!?
Is it a mistake, or is there a chapter actually missing?
>O.o<

clicks new chapter 193 * (WTH?)
checks chapters...(missing ch 192).........................

So, I don't know if anybody else checks the scanlation groups that have been working on this, but nether of the current ones have, and as far as I'm aware no one else has ether, done chapter 192. I've gone ahead and added chapter 193, but I haven't read it myself nor will I until I can read 192 first. I don't know how to warn people that this isn't the correct next chapter other then here, but there you have it:

DON"T READ 193 YET!! At least if you want to read things in order. of course on the slight chance that cyberakuma miss labeled it I could just be wrong.

@AngelsAreNerds All right, fair enough! I stand corrected. I totally forgot that about Kyoko's personality. The translation is so bad I can't tell if it's actually capturing that trait of hers or if it's just a crappy literal translation.

I still think the current scanlators have absolutely no business translating and should leave it to people who actually know Japanese.

So I've been reading Skip Beat from our library. I got volumes 1-27, except for volume 15, which they didn't have. I decided to come and read it online so I wouldn't miss any development... and was tremendously disappointed. I can't say about the newer chapters, but every chapter I've read so far online (in the 80's) is terrible quality. Poor raws, huge watermarks in the middle of the page, tons of things not translated, really bad or nonexistent redraws, and typoes and grammatical errors flying off the page. I'm very disappointed in the job done by the group(s) that did those chapters. And I'm saying that as a manga fan, not as a member of a different scanlation group. I'll be glad when I'm done with volume 15 and can get back to the physical copies.
