Skip Beat: It's such a pain being caught up

So I've finished reading all of the Skip Beat chapters up to date, which is really lame. I hate having to wait 2 weeks for a new chapter. Don't you hate when you get to an exciting part of something, and then you have to wait to find out what's going to happen next? I appreciate that the chapters a longer because they take longer to come out, but waiting so long is not cool!
               Anyway, maybe I should summarize a little bit about what Skip Beat is about. Skip Beat is about Kyoko Mogami, a 16/17 year old girl who finds herself in Tokyo after following her childhood friend Fuwa Sho and his dreams of becoming a popular singer. Kyoko has dropped out of school and is working several jobs to up keep an apartment for Sho, until one day she walks hears him talking to his manager about how he basically just asked her to come with him to be his maid. Kyoko becomes super mad, and insider her a box unlocks releasing little devil Kyoko's. Kyoko swears to get revenge on Sho, and he says that the only way to do this is to enter the show business and surpass him. Kyoko goes to LME, a entertainment company, and tries to become one of their talents. Kyoko eventually gets on her way to becoming an actress, but along the way she has to deal with tensions between herself and the main idol actor at LME, Tsuruga Ren.
            So that's the general gist of Skip Beat, although of course it is far more complicated and I didn't go into too much detail. Skip Beat is considered a Shojo manga, and started in 2002. It is published by Hana to Yume. There is also a brief anime stint. It is really funny and entertaining, and I cannot wait until the next chapter!
