Skip Beat! Ch. 131 - Chiorin's Attack

Blah. Chiorin is so not a threat. Her evil twisty plots don't seem to be going anywhere. Chiorin changes her look to be more mature, knowing that it's not what the director wants. Her plan is to keep missing the direction so that she delays the filming, thus making everyone blame Kyoko for forcing her to change in the first place. That's...such a terrible plan. Seriously? You're going to do poorly on purpose and think that somehow people will get mad at someone else because of it? Weaaak. In the meantime, she's also bullying Kyoko silently by doing things like tearing apart the sign on her door. Kyoko takes it all in stride, replacing the sign without appearing too bothered. When Chiorin returns to tear the sign apart again, she finds a note saying that the previous prank was really weak and only garnered five friendship points and maybe next time she should aim for a hundred next time. HA. Kyokowned.

In the meantime, Kyoko is quickly making friends with the other cast members, even inviting them out for ramen and friendly fun. The girls are bonding pretty well, and looking up to Kyoko as a leader, even off the set. During filming, the director tries to explain to Chiorin that he's not looking for a mature type from her, and she acts as if she doesn't understand him. He says that for now they'll just change her image a bit and see how it works, asking her to tie her hair up into a cute ponytail. Without thinking, she screams no before realizing that her outburst is probably drawing too much attention. Kyoko finds out from the other girls that Chiorin has a scar on the back of her neck that she doesn't want anyone to see. What will Kyoko do now? O:

First off, why is there no Ren? I love seeing Kyoko in all her amazing, but no Ren x Kyoko love makes me a sad bento. Second, why is there no Moko? I miss her, and I really care about her career as an actress too. I want to know how she's doing. And third, Chiorin is hardly a threat at all. It seems like her strugglings against Kyoko aren't worth much. It's an interesting twist now that Kyoko knows her weak point. I wonder if she'll try to make friends with Chiorin. It seems like she's already doing pretty well with the other girls. Chiorin could use some good old-fashioned ownage, though. She's so selfish, it's no surprise that she hasn't advanced far in acting.

Kinda odd that Chiorin is looking very weak this early on in her arc. There must be some bigger bombshell in the future, unless it is really about Kyokosamatotaldomination.

And yes, Moko is like, gone for like the entire latter half of Skip Beat manga!
