Skip-Beat!, Vol. 43, Paperback

When Kyoko's heart is broken, she decides that revenge is a dish best served in the spotlight

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

Kyoko's intense audition finally wins over the producer and secures her role of Momiji, but she's hardly in the mood to celebrate. Moko hasn't been cast as Chidori, and Kyoko's cherished dreams of playing opposite her BFF have been dashed. Her internal conflict will have to wait though, because her opponent in the Momiji trials has another nasty trick up her sleeve. Will Kimi's devious scheming cost Kyoko more than just a coveted role?
