Kyoko moves to the big city with the prince of her dreams Shotaro; he wants to make it big in the entertainment business, so she works hard at many different jobs to support him as he achieves his dream. However, one day, Kyoko accidentally discovers the horrible truth: the love of her life thinks of her as a 'plain and boring woman!'.
Kanae Kotonami is an up and coming actress of a similar age to Kyoko who aspires to be the best actress in Japan. She first comes across the heroine (in her first scene) during an audition at LME they are both applying for.
To err is to be human and to quote a man famed for peace (guess who said it): “It is better to be violent if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence.”. Long story short, if futility fills you with hate, it’s best to release it than to keep it bottled up.
Using the noble excuse of revenge to forge her career in show business, Kyoko doesn’t have things easy and this is one of Skip Beat’s strongest points; she doesn’t become an instant darling of the stars, and her temperamental nature make things even worse for her career but also shows her human side.
