Skip Beat!/YMMV

• Fridge Logic: When Kyoko worries that Ren will cut all ties with her in Karuizawa, it seems a little too far-fetched. Until you realize that that's how she's used to being treated by those she cares about. Her mother abandoned her when she was a little girl, Fuwa Sho dropped her without a second thought after she spent years devoted to him, even Corn left without giving her a way to keep in touch (although in his case it was because he was ten years old and had to go home).
• Les Yay: Kyoko and Moko, constantly.
  • When Kyoko and Maria see Moko feeding her “boyfriend” a French fry:

Maria: I want to do that to Ren!

Kyoko: I want Moko to do that to me!

• • Kyoko was incredibly... devoted to Ruriko.
• Magnificent Bitch: Not that Kyoko is one, but as seen in the "Natsu" drama, she can be very good at acting like one.
• Real Women Never Wear Dresses: The first time they meet, Kanae scorns Kyouko for being "housewifey" only because she sees her sewing a doll (Kanae's unaware that the doll is a voodoo doll which Kyouko intends to use for Black Magic); and for a while she dismisses Kyouko because she didn't believe that a woman who can do every stereotypical housework could be a competent actress. But turns out that Kanae's also housewifey, in this case by necessity - and really good at it. Seeing Kyoko pissed her off because she was reminded of herself. Though her version of "housewifing" is more of a extreme sport though.
  • "You made me remember the scent of detergent!"
• Unfortunate Implications: Rife, though actually less so than in most Shoujo romantic comics. The above under ultimate job security applies.
  • As does a incident with Reino the psychic and Corn the rock. The powers are real--he gets some information he shouldn't have. He also states that the pain 'Corn' put into the eponymous stone before giving it to little Kyoko is "not the kind of feeling an ordinary child from an ordinary house could have" and makes her accumulated suffering over ten years of being used, abused, and unloved by everyone in her world look minor. Given that Corn was not a fairy prince but a Hollywood Brat with two doting parents, looks, talent, health, and everything money could buy, Unfortunate Implication set in.
    • Especially because it sounds so much like Erica's intentionally absurd speech way back during the Kyurara auditions, about how "poor people couldn't possibly understand emotions and portray them like rich people!" (Her manservants chime in that that is 'very logical, Miss Erica.)
      • Eh, it might just mean Ren is a wuss and Kyoko is tough, and Reino is picking up the Wangst difference and misinterpreting it. A stretch, though.
    • It should also be noted that, judging by what he "saw," it also contained Ren's emotions as an adolescent, where he is viewed attacking people on the street as some of them run away, hands covered in blood so it's possible he was also referring to that.
    • Also this is Reino we're talking about — anything he says should be taken with several grains of salt.
    • Events later in his history seem to indicate that - for all his parents' support - young Kuon was ostracized from his peers (not to mention bullied and abused) due to his parents' fame. It is implied that if Rick hadn't given Kuon something to live for, Reino's prediction would have come to pass. Kyoko at least had Sho for a touchstone (unreliable as he may have become).
