Kyoko Mogami followed her true love Sho to Tokyo to support him while he made it big as an idol. But he's casting her out now that he's famous! Kyoko won't suffer in silence—she's going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz!

This is Skip Beat, one of the newest mangas from VIZ Media and Shojo Beat Magazine. Skip Beat is the story of Kyoko, a loyal girlfriend who takes care of her boyfriend Sho, while he tries to make it big in show business. When Sho finally gets his break, he says goodbye to Kyoko, on to bigger and better things. But Kyoko wants to prove that she's the best thing Sho ever had and sets out to exact revenge by beating him at his only celebrity game.

Created by Yoshiki Nakamura (Tokyo Crazy Paradise, Can't Give Up MVP), Skip Beat is a fun look at the crazy things we do for love.. or revenge... which is all pretty much the same thing, isn't it?

Volumes 1 through 5 are available at your favorite manga stores now or you can grab a sneak peek at VIZ's online manga player.
