If you've read Skip Beat and liked the concept I think you'll defenitly like The One. Both are about girls entering the entertainment business,(Skip beat-acting,The one-modelling) and how they struggle to make it, falling in love a long the way aso.

With Glass Mask and Skip Beat, both of the female leads will do what it takes to make it in the entertainment world, even though their agenda and ultimate goals are different. They are also long running series. Skip Beat with over 20 volumes, and Glass Mask with over 40 - and still ongoing. If you like one, you would enjoy the other.

They both are written by the same author, so the humor and drawings are similar. Both aren't your typical shoujo stories either; they are both unique. Tokyo Crazy Paradise has a whole lot more fighting scenes than Skip Beat where there's kicks and little devil spirits. But in both, the main character undergoes amazing transformations which make you want to see more.

The ends of the heroine are the same and that is to defeat a certain someone in showbizness that is (was) mutually related to them. Other than that, they both contain the love triangle scenario though that facade is yet to be seen in Honey Hunt. Honey Hunt is a tale about a girl who wishes to have revenge on her superstar mother. Also, she wishes to make a name of her own since a lot of people only saw her as the daughter of one of the world's greatest musician and a talented actress.

Both stories are about a teenage girl who tries to make it in the acting world. While Skip Beat is a lot longer, Cat Street provides a heartwarming and original storyline. Cat Street is a short but sweet story that shouldn't be missed.

Both manga involve a girl rejected by the first boy she liked. So, they sink into a stae of depression (aka "black" or scary). Kyouko loves curses, voodoo dolls where as Sunako collects skeletons and creepy stuff. Both of them believe in fairy tales or fantasies. The difference is in Skip Beat! Kyouko is trying her best to come to the top of showbiz world coz she loves it(though she started out to just get her revenge on sho). Whereas Sunako is trying to become a lady(not really!!) just because her aunt wants her to become one. All in all these two are typical shoujo manga with  read more

The revenge of the heroines is the common denominator. Also, both heroines joined the same league as the guy they are wishing to cast their revenge on. They are both determined to overthrow their former love because of the misery they caused them. And along the way, they'll meet colorful characters that will brighten up their gloomy facade - who knows if these characters will help them exact their vengeances?

If you love Kyoko you'll probably love Mafayu. Both girls scare those around them without realizing it, dream of shoujo-manga type romance, and start the manga by trying to restart their lives with a clean slate.

Skip Beat! is very similar in that both have main characters aiming to be at the top of the entertainment industry, though Skip Beat! is more into acting. Both protagonists are very hardworking and would rather die than to give up. Furthermore, the mother of both the main characters treat their children as disappointments. I really recommend this manga! It has it's unique plot that will make you ask for more!

I would say that both are very interesting and engaging stories about a girl making it in show business. Both are shoujos and have obvious love stories but somehow both really develop solid relationships and ideas that make these two mangas very enjoyable and even a bit intellectual. Skip Beat is newer and more modern but I like the 90's feel and art of Ashita no Ousama. They both borrow different shoujo stereotypes. Ashita has the innocent girl (not annoying though, just more far-fetched) and Skip Beat has more unrealistic plot developments but none of these get in the way, especially compared with all the other  read more

The friendship + comedy between the main characters [Kyoko and her best girl-friend, as well as Tanpopo and her best girl-friend] are quite similiar. (Going from the other hating the main character -> to acceptance & love ^_^) Also, both main girls are strong-willed, hilarious, weird/different, and very influential. There are also "love triangles". [SkipBeat- Ren&Sho, Imadoki- Tanpopo&Erika]. Well, if you love one, you'll love the other.

Similar premises where the protagonists navigate through the entertainment industry in order to seek revenge. Skip Beat's direction of revenge is of the basis of romantic connections whereas Oshi no Ko focuses more on familial ties but with an extra element of an emotionally charged mystery. They'll meet peers that will mutually challenge each other to grow in the industry as well as facing challenges that will test their talents and emotions.

About a girl who went through adversity in her past and comes to change in their new situation. From here, these noble heroines do what they can to change themselves, inspire others, and pull these people into their "inner circle". Both Kyoko and Maria are very admirable to look up to and can be "pure" in their sense of feelings [also can be very straightforward & determined and happen to appeal to frills or fantasy]. They are without parents since early childhood, and are seen facing relentless bullying/torment, but eventually soften these people into friends (including the male leads, both whom first disdained [but not  read more

Both are industry-focused about girls getting into professional acting. Skip Beat! and Act-age have a very similar setup of arcs, where each arc is focused on a new "acting job" and the character must make an acting change/personal discovery in order to properly portray the role. Both have an intense focus on the acting, although Skip Beat! does admittedly have more of a romance focus at times.

They are about the main character doing something in order to get revenge on a certain person and both anime have a good balance of humor and seriousness. But the plot, setting and characters are nothing alike.

Mangas about acting and show biz. Both protagonists face a lot of difficulties and people trying to "take them down" in their attempts at becomming a popular actress. Both are independent, smart and assertive, and have faced a lot of sadness and torment in the past. Skip beats is a comedic shoujo manga with a lot of silly drama and romance, while Kasane is a more serious seinen manga with a lot of silly drama and ...ye no no romance here. Big difference is although both protagonists have real acting talent, Kasane uses the help of supernatural means: a mysterious lipstick that lets her temporarily swap her appearances  read more

Both Najika (Kitchen no Ohime-sama) and Kyoko (Skip Beat!) were not raised by their parents and have a special skill (Kyoko- acting; Najika- cooking). Also, in the past, the two of them met a boy that helps them, but they don't remember him really well (so they search for him). The two stories include comedy, romance and drama. Skip Beat! is longer and Kitchen no Ohime-sama is more tragic. They're both worth reading.

If you are a fan of Skip Beat! then I suggest you check out the new shoujo manga Full Dozer. We have a plucky heroine who is on a path similar to the heroine in Skip Beat! towards a celebrity. The set up of the story is similar as well but with a twist! You could think of Full Dozer as Skip Beat with a male lead instead of Kyoko. It's also by a well known mangaka (Usotsuki Lily) so I'm expecting good things.

When it comes to entertainment, Nana and Skip Beat takes the stage and presents them in a very creative way. Both series deals with characters who gets involved in mainstream entertainment revolving around their professional careers. Throughout their stories, the characters develop both personally and professionally. There is romance in both series as well; do note that Nana has much more mature themes while Skip Beat is more humorous. Nonetheless, there is realism that is evident in both series along with suitable gags fitting for their premises. Definitely recommended for fans who are looking for a shoujo that expands more than just romance.

The main characters in these two mangas are fairly similar. Both girls are energetic and not really used to the "pretty" role. Personality wise: they are a little bit strange, highly reactive emotionally, and somewhat awkward in social situations. The main male character is a cool guy who acts as a teacher to the main character. Overall, these are both very funny mangas with interesting situations happening all of the time.

Both romantic comedies with heavy emphasis on the comedy, featuring strong, female leads who are trying hard to reinvent themselves, though are quick to revert back to old habits and eccentricities (in Kyokos case, her grudges and love of fairy tales, for Naedoko, behavioral observation and skillful manipulation). Both are furthermore entirely oblivious to the romantic advances of the male lead, getting far more exited at the prospect of going windowshopping or eating ice cream with their first ever (female) friend. I think if you like one, you're bound to like the other.

Well the basic genres and stuff are entirely different but Skip Beat and Bakuman have this one thing in common - A world within a world! In Bakuman, its about creating worlds, characters and stories in manga In Skip Beat, its about the different characters portrayed by a single one(Kyoko) Skip beat has more depth to this theme but Kyoko lacks significant rivals.. Both are recommended!

The desire to follow a dream. Skip Beat and Kuragehime sets a mission to adapt such a theme with our main female character. There is a variety of character in both series with flamboyant personalities. It's important to note that the relationships they form with these characters are portrayed with unique appeals. Comedy is also a strength that lies with both series whether it's the dialogues or the gags that are adapted. Both series also has some a great style of fashion in diversity.

Skip Beat! Is all about acting; Doll is all about ballet. For some reasons, with such plots, those two wouldn't click together (I know). However, as I was reading Doll, I couldn't help but have flashbacks of Skip Beat--probably because the art is similar, but no not really-- and I couldn't help but keep remembering it. Well, both of them have a bit of acts here and there. In SB, it's acting in movies and such; doll on the other hand has ballet musical plays. SB is longer though, but both is a great read!

Both is about actresses talented and passionate in acting. Some aspects is the same. Both actresses have the ability to merge with an character. In the last chapters of Skip Beat, the actress "acts" in real life. In P.A. the actress work as an actor that can be hired for any role in real life.

Although they might seem to be opposites, both have strong teenaged female leads who initially set out for revenge only to find their goals shaping into something much more powerful/suited to them later on.

Both are about girls involved in show business and trying their best to succeed (but for vastly different reasons). There are also two handsome guys trying to get the girl. "Skip Beat!" is lighter and has more comedic moments. "Cinema to Teikoku" is more somber. Overall, I like "Skip Beat!" better, but they are both good.

The two characters are very charismatic and good. But because of a hate in the heart because of a child releasing a monster or demons. Both are a very funny story.

If you really liked Skip Beat than this will definitely be a manga you'll like. It is similar to Skip Beat because both the parents don't care about there child. There is also a character like Ren who also had difficulties in his life. It's actually a sad story but there is still romance in it. So this is one of my favorites just like skip beat. So as I said before...if you like SKIP BEAT you'll definitely like SANAGI TO OUSAMA!! ♥♥♥

I think you would like to read V.B rose/skip beat beacuse they both have a special talent in the manga. They are both shojo mangas so they contain romance, slice of life and you just can´t help but to read them both over and over again.

Both are about girls that are underestimated and who want to prove themselves. Skip beat is about acting and red about photography. Kyoko in skip beat followed a famous singer but discovers that he only sees her as a maid. Red is a poor, bullied girl that runs away from home to Hollywood. There are more similarities but that would spoil the story's.

For whatever reason, this is the manga I thought of most the further I got into Ao Haru Ride. Both have headstrong female characters that start out being timid, but then decide to change themselves for the better. Both have male leads that seem cold and distant, but gradually you can start to see them warming up to the female lead in a really cute way. I totally recommend Skip Beat! to anyone who likes Ao Haru Ride, though the art style is completely different. Much more pointy haha. I personally love both styles.

both about the entertainment business and they both have characters that are incredibly good at acting so much so that it forces (others (in skip beat)) professional actors to follow their lead
