hehe it's from Skip Beat. Much as I got bored with shoujo (I stopped reading for some time coz storyline always the same!), Skip Beat is different. I am reading the manga for the 13th time now... and had watched the anime at least 5-6 times. Man, Kyoko is just hilarious! Actually all the characters are drop dead funny (and gorgeous too!). It's not your typical boring I-know-the-whole-story-from-first-chapter type. All the main characters act and react....... very differently than what you would imagine XD
Plot (from Wiki):
Skip-Beat! is about Kyoko Mogami, a wistful yet cheery sixteen year-old girl who loves her childhood friend, Sho Fuwa (Shotaro), but is cruelly betrayed and thus seeks revenge against him. She used to spend a lot of time at Shotaro's parents' inn and learned a lot about housekeeping, hostelry, and other jobs (sewing, cooking, serving tea traditionally, etc.).
Shotaro, not wishing to take over his parents' inn, becomes bored of living in Kyoto and decides to move to Tokyo to pursue a career in music. Sho, as he is called by his fans, asks Kyoko to leave high school in Kyoto Prefecture and her life behind to help him. Upon arrival in Tokyo, Kyoko lives an unreasonably frugal life, spending nothing on herself and doing whatever she can for the freeloading Sho, who eventually becomes ranked seventh in the top twenty most popular entertainers of Japan. One day, however, as Kyoko brings Sho his lunch at a company building, she overhears Shotaro complaining about her to his manager, saying that she is a boring and plain girl with no sex appeal that he'd like to cast away. He then proceeds to sweet-talk and flirt with his manager, in stark contrast to the cold and demanding attitude he usually exhibits towards Kyoko. Unlike other heroines in the same situation, Kyoko doesn't shed many tears when she learns that Sho thinks she's only good for housekeeping. Instead, her "Pandora's box" opens and she vows vengeance on Sho. Enraged, Kyoko attempts to attack Sho, but is instantly carried off by security. Sho mockingly tells her that if she wants revenge, she had better become a bigger star than him. And so, Kyoko, vowing revenge, changes her appearance and enters the entertainment business, facing many challenges along the way.
Skip Beat! follows Kyoko's journey to climb the showbiz ladder as she meets interesting people, in the hopes of getting revenge on Shotaro, but also in order to get back her sense of compassion that she had lost when her heart was broken by Sho. She meets different people on her journey to stardom, a few troublemakers,and friends who help her. However, she later discovers that she is acting because she wants to do something for herself, though her initial plan was for revenge.

Basically Shou is the world's biggest jerk but still, you can't bring yourself to hate him later on. Well not that he apologizes nor act nice but... damn, he's just so darn cool!
The summary from Wiki is all from the 1st few chapters hahahahaha. The story basically focuses on Kyoko's career in acting, the people she met/ around her and also her senior in the same entertainment company (LME) - Tsuruga Ren. Ren is one of the most established actor around and he despises Kyoko at first. But still, he has a soft spot for her lol. Kyoko is the world's s-l-o-w-e-s-t girl around!!!
I promise that you'll laugh so hard, your eyes will pop out and you'll roll on the bed hahahahaha. Honestly, I can't find any other manga that made me laugh so hard!!! *cough* other than One Piece...
*I'm spamming this long OOT post coz there's just me and xell around hahahaha
