The pacing of the how Kyoko's relationship with Ren develops was also a lot faster, which makes it somewhat boring to me since you don't see as much of a transition from hate to apathy to friends to romantic interest. Kyoko comes across as much more over-the-top in the anime, and bent on revenge with not as many characteristics to make her rounded out (a LOT of her character development is also left out since the anime ends so prematurely). The anime also emphasized some of my least favorite aspects of the original story, in a way that made the story seem much more cliche and Kyoko much more annoying. One of my favorite aspects of the manga was how Kyoko and Ren's career in acting was incorporated in the story (especially seeing how Kyoko grew as an actor and changed for each role that she played), but that was not explored nearly as much in the anime.
Skip Beat is a long a** manga (too long some might say - I love it but the mangaka does drag it on for quite a while), and the anime just barely scratches the surface, and leaves more loose ends that it resolves (honestly, if I only saw the anime without reading the manga at first, I would be confused and frustrated since there are so many things that are never explained or reseolved). However, the anime ENDS right about when the manga starts to get good and the characters start to develop. Parts were shortened and some scenes eliminated, but nothing that really stood Plotwise, the anime more or less follows the story. It's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly why I loved the manga and hated the adaptation, but I'll try. That being said, I was highly disappointed with the anime adaptation, and felt like the overall vibe was very different than the original manga (and no, I am not someone who automatically feels that the manga version of any story is superior). I fell in love with the manga and ended up watching the anime afterwards because I just couldn't get enough of it.
