BEST MANGA ... 5 STARS

This Manga deserves five STARS. It's one of the best I've ever read. I don't normally write reviews, but when I saw that this particular manga didn't have a five stars rating it really surprised me, because this manga is awesome... And then I read, because of the reviewer below, who didn't rate the product, but the delivery service. It was really frustrating to see that the rating went down for something like that. So I feel that everyone who enjoys reading manga or watching anime will NOT be let down by this series. This Manga definitely deserves 5 Stars for certain.

An end and a new beginning, both wonderful

Volume 17 contains chapters 97 to 102, which ends the filming at Karuizawa and sets the stage for the arrival of the famous American movie star Ku Hizuri, who originally lived in Japan and was the actor who played the original Katsuki that Ren has worked so hard to overcome, and to whom Kyoko must be a sort of personal assistance while he is visiting Tokyo. This is a great volume. The wrap up of the Karuizawa portion from the previous two volumes is satisfying (Ren and Sho are both moving things forward, personally and professionally.) and this also begins what is almost definitely the biggest 'warm and fuzzy' arc of the series thus far...the 'Ku' arc. The only bad thing about this volume is that they spell 'Ku' as 'Koo'...and that's just embarrassing.

Skip beat 17

Love this series. I havent written a review in a while and I wanted to make sure to give this book a good one because the only review on it so far was based on the shipping and not the book itself. it deserves the full five stars, this review space is for the book, not the sellers. Anyway, love the fact that it is getting more and more into Ren's story, and I am always left wanting more after I finish a book.
