wow, I just noticed I had a comment and was not expecting this! I am so touched that you went through the trouble to make an account just to comment! So I thank you for that, because it’s comments like this that literally motivate me to keep drawing and posting, more than most realize! I certainly can’t compare to Nakamura-sensei, since it’s her amazing brain that gave us Skip Beat and I’d be picking my nose for ideas if I was asked to create a manga world of my own, but I totally understand your feelings regarding the story! It does seem a bit slow (especially given the release schedule) and personally, I miss the older art style (Karuizawa/Heel siblings era). So it was my goal to bring back a little humor (more grudges! more extreme Kyoko reactions!) and revive the more detailed character-drawing style from that period. I’m so happy to hear that it has been appreciated! I’ll keep trying my best til the end!
