This was a pretty torturous read lol. There was no substance to any of the stories; I didn't feel like the main characters changed for themselves, but for everyone else, which isn't the message I think any magazine that focuses so much on appearance should send. In the end, it just seems so shallow because we're only ever given shallow reasons for the characters wanting to chance. Yuri seemed like an interesting, somewhat thoughtful, character, though. I would have preferred to see more from her and how her relationships developed. But maybe that's what happened in volume 2- since I got so annoyed from the first volume, I'll never know.
