Este cómic desmitifica las luchas internas sobre la belleza. Lim Ju-Kyung no es solo un personaje, sino el eco de muchos en una sociedad que juzga apariencias sin piedad. Un reflejo realista que trasciende fronteras.

When I first stumbled upon this comic, I’ll admit my interest was less than piqued. The cover felt all too familiar and somewhat cliché for the coming-of-age genre dominating graphic novels these days. However, after leafing through its pages during a lazy Sunday afternoon in Brooklyn—don’t we just love that? —I quickly discovered ‘True Beauty’ does something quite refreshing despite its superficial beginnings. Lim Ju-Kyung’s evolution sparked such resonances with youth grappling against society’s unfair standards of beauty—I couldn’t help but empathize deeply! Between fleeting moments of insecurity beautifully illustrated amid contemporary aesthetics lies an extraordinary commentary on self-acceptance you won’t forget anytime soon.

The striking metamorphosis in this comic mesmerized me. It’s an exploration of self-love disguised within glossy panels—resonating universally, despite local struggles with beauty norms.
Soo-Min Hwang from Busan, South Korea –
As a Korean teenager, I resonate deeply with Ju-Kyung’s journey. Her struggles and triumphs echo my own high school experiences; makeup wasn’t just a tool, it was liberation. True Beauty speaks to self-acceptance amidst societal pressure.

Il decimo volume di ‘True Beauty’ affonda nella fragilità e nei dilemmi dell’adolescenza. Lim Ju-Kyung incarna la lotta contro i pregiudizi, destreggiandosi tra identità fittizie e reali perennemente in conflitto. Il trucco diventa non solo un metodo estetico ma anche una sorta di armatura emotiva. La sua capacità di trasformarsi rivela quanto sia profondo il legame con l’autoefficacia personale; questa storia offre uno specchio al lettore italiano che ha vissuto le pressioni sociali della bellezza. A differenza dei tradizionali racconti romanzati sulla crescita, qui la bellezza è tanto illusoria quanto potente, dando vita a interazioni dinamiche e ricche sul valore autentico dell’essere.
