I haven't read the manga yet, but have heard positive things about it.

I just hope they fully animate it from start to finish since the manga should be finished in the upcoming weeks. Usually with shoujo manga, there is always that unabridged ending they do.

Ooh, that's good news. ^^ My friend will be happy - she's been trying to get me to read the manga over half a year already. XD Maybe now that the anime is coming out I'll finally check the manga... XP

Also same director as Princess Tutu and Vampire Knight is great IMO. :D

I'd rather Tokyo Crazy Paradise to be animated, but Skip Beat is fine. Thought it still follow the one-girl-and-two-super-cool-boys type that every shoujo are dwelling into.

I, too, would love to see TCP animated before Skip Beat... but I guess we can only hope.

Anyways, yay for Skip Beat. Nakamura Yoshiki is a genius. I just hope animation will be better than in Vampire Knight.

I dunno if they would animate HanaKimi so soon after doing the live action drama. Then again, they did it with Gokusen (put out an anime shortly after the live action was successful) , so who knows...

There is supposedly going to be a live action Skip Beat drama too (a Taiwan drama). I look forward to that as well :D

I heard about that sometime ago too and I'd think it'd be great but I'm sure I'll prefer the anime since I still disagree with the majority of the people that Ariel Lin would fit Kyoko. Ariel Lin is a great actress but she can never be Kyoko for me.

I'm hoping for Kawasumi Ayako because she is so versatile and makes her voices somewhat different for every character.
