If you like either Skip Beat or Cat Street, you should definitely give the other a try.
Both mangas deal with acting (while CS focuses a lot more on the relationships of the female lead; SB focuses a bit more on professional acting than CS). Both mangas offer in depth relationships between the female lead and their surrounding people. While SB is more comedic and upbeat, CS offers a more emotional side of the story.
Both are diamonds in a dozen so give them a try, you won't be disappointed!
As acting plays an iatrical role in Cat Street and Skip Beat the two series blend in a multitude of ways as the heroines light up the stage trying to reveal their skills and power. The two mangas focus on relationships between the female leads and the other characters who help her along her way.
the main characters in both skip beat and cat street are upcomming popular actress. a group of people support them from behind. They both fall in love unexpectedly with the people close to them and their stories are both interesting. XD
They both deal with the personal and professional journey of young woman with emotional issues. The lead characters are similiar in that they are both naturally gifted actresses with poor social skills and strange personalities. The male leads are also similar in that they come off as uncaring but always seem to be there to help out.
Yukari Hayasaka is a serious student who is held to high expectations by her overbearing mother. Excelling at her studies used to be her life's focus until one day she meets a group of fashion students who decide Yukari would be the perfect model for their latest design. While Yukari resists at first, she slowly comes to love this group of people who are living a life so different from her own. She also develops feelings for the lead designer, George Koizumi, and becomes close friends with Miwako Sakurada, her boyfriend Arashi Nagase, and Daisuke "Isabella" Yamamoto. Having these new friends in her life inspires Yukari to stop living her life the way her mother wants; so she strikes out on her own instead, determined to find what will make her happy.
Both are mangas featuring a female lead, who (at first) doesn't know what to do with her life. For one reason or another she starts hanging out with people from very unique high school (or in Cat street case even attend said school ). Thx to that she finally finds her goal in life (or in Cat street case get back to the goal she abandoned long ago) and starts working towards her dream.
Both mangas maintain a nice balance betweenn bittersweet romances and accomplishing-your-dream, inspirational story. Paradise kiss is a bit more dramatic, but overall - if you like one, you should also like the other.
The main heroines in both Cat Street and Paradise Kiss do not really seem to fit in with the world around them. As the story progresses through each of the mangas friends are able to help the two characters try and find the path that they needed to take in life. Through the hard ties of reliving their pasts to the hopefulness of what the future might bring. Startling contrasts are seen with the real world, hiting on everyday issues.
oh my god, when i read Cat street, I think, this is so similar to paradise kiss. The parents that dont know what is hapening, the girl who is so lost and found friends. I loved this manga, and I love Kouichi, i think its similar to tokomori in Paradise kiss, so if you like a manga that its not the tipical story you should read Cat Street or Paradise Kiss

Cat Street and Honey Hunt have a very similar feel between them. They both contains main characters that are trying hard to make a name for themselves in the entertainment business (for different reasons), but that's not the only thing they have in common. Despite their different pasts and family situations, these characters' feel are remarkably similar. Their personalities, reactions with guys, how they overcome hurdles, and even the way they tackle the acting business have similar feels. If you like the acting world, it's enjoyable watching either one of them, face their shortcomings and excel in this business. If you liked one for any of these reasons, I'm sure you'll enjoy the other.
While trying to make a name for themselves in the entertainment business the two heroines of Cat Street and Honey Hunt are intermixed. Both series revolve around the protagonists wanting to act while trying to overcome their own fears of how to deal with friendships and relationships.
Kiri is a gifted young hairstylist who takes great pleasure in anonymously using her talents to add a ‘little magic' to an ordinary girl's life. On the flipside, a group of three boys called the Scissors Project have an entirely different mindset: they give grand makeovers to a select group of handpicked girls who are beautiful to begin with. Kiri is quite content with staying out of the public eye, though with the Scissors Project's leader Narumi refusing to stand aside and give up his makeover throne, it seems that she won't be able to stay out of the spotlight for long. With challenges being thrown at her whenever there's a chance, Kiri finds that she cannot resist responding to the world of hairstyling.
Both mangas are a stories about a high school girl with a great talent in one field of work ( hairdressing in Beauty Pop and acting in Cat Street). Due to childhood trauma that character decided to give up the dream of succeding in that job, and just live a normal high school life instead (or just give up on school in Cat Street case). Due to influence of new friends she slowly changes her mind, accepting her talent.
While Cat Street is bittersweet and a bit sad story, and Beauty Pop is more comedic, they are both stories about reaching your dreams. If you like one you should check the other as well.
Aya Fujii was a star ballet dancer until she made a mistake at a national performance; from then on, she has been stricken with terrible stage fright and believes she could never dance again. However, things change when she sees a performance by COOL, an all-male ballet troupe. Aya is in awe of the group, but is particularly drawn to its leader Akira Hibiya. When she begs to join COOL, Akira tells her that she can join after she wins at the national competition - a seemingly-impossible task for the frightened Aya. Yet the more she falls for Akira and his dancing, the more determined she becomes to gain a spot in COOL.
Forbidden Dance and Cat Street both have the same lost feeling to them. The characters need to be shown a way to make their lives better and know what they really want to do. The series are similar in the way the story is able to express the good intentions of the characters in them.
