Just like Akatsuki no Yona, you may ignore this title due to the seemingly boring plot and the first chapter but do not be fooled! It's awesome! Just wait and read for a while and I am sure you will be hooked on to it..unable to stop reading... The plot is entirely different (Skip Beat revolves around the entertainment industry, mainly Acting field), but I'm sure those who loved Yona will also love the adorable, yet badass Kyoko from Skip Beat. Yona lost everything she had when she had to flee from the castle after that terrible night when her first love and cousin Soo-won killed her father, the King. Kyoko too, lost everything when she hears how her love Kyo thinks of her as nothing but a tool to use after spending and giving her whole 16 years for him. But we have some tough girls here who are hard to crack. We see them change drastically from the weak and foolish characters they were to the most strong-willed and cool girls that they are now... One of my favourite parts in both manga is when people wonder "Who is this girl?" "Is she really the same person that I've seen/known before?" They really make us think of the words.."DO not underestimate a girl" and "Dont judge a book by its cover" There are also instances when we feel our hearts moved and find our eyes nearly filled with tears...or sometimes we find them to be the cutest and silliest characters in the world...and also the densest person in the matters of love!... Though in Kyoko's case there is also the fact that she has come to hate and be scared of falling in love... And let's not forget about the bishounen and cool male protagonist Tsuruga Ren. We see many sides of him throughout the manga and there is some character growth too along with many other characters after meeting Kyoko..and plus, he is cool and fun to watch. Just as I mentioned, the majority of the characters undergo some development under the influence of Kyoko. And overall...it's fun and an inspiring manga in my opinion which is a must-read

Though both of the series are built on kingship fiction, their situation and stories are quite different. Akagami no shirayuki hime is comparatively more pleasant...But we will feel a lot of similarity in the red-haired heroines' personality and uniqueness. Yona is chased out of the castle and grows from a weak girl to a badass character..Shirayuki too had to flee from her country due to her red hair but is soon acknowledged by everyone as a strong-willed and courageous girl Their character development is quite different, but both have a kind uniqueness of their own and moves our heart. And don't forget that the setting, plot, and characters, etc. are also enjoyable.
