otakulys's manga / #beauty(2)

I like the main character a lot. Usually girls in stories like this are very timid to make up for their utterly offensive appearance, like how dare you be ugly! I do think it's pretty telling that only the women get this virus. At any rate, I started reading this with cautious optimism. Most of the time, stories like this are disappointing or even insulting. I can't say that this one entirely shied away from that, but once Park Jangmi finally told that dude off for being a jerk, I felt like the story was beginning to turn around. Uuuuunfortunately, I'm just now noticing that this hasn't been updated in three years. That really sucks. I'd like to read more. But at least it didn't end on a cliff hanger. Maybe someday it'll start up again. Oh, and that cat thing, wtf! Terrifying! Get it away!

Wow, that mirror sure likes to stir shit up. I've always hated how we cling to that "fairest of them all" crap with this story, though. Growing up, most of us think "fair" means "beautiful" because of how it's used. Of course, there are plenty of cultures that still think pale skin is the most beautiful. It'd be really cool if we could start weeding that BS out of society. Maybe start with kid stories? Not that this particular take on it is for children, lol.
