Description

Lookism ist ein südkoreanischer Webtoon, der die Geschichte von Park Hyung-Seok erzählt, einem Highschool-Schüler, der wegen seines übergewichtigen Aussehens ständig gemobbt wird. Eines Tages wacht er in einem anderen Körper auf, mit einem hübschen Gesicht und einer fitten Statur. Während er sich in seinem neuen Leben als beliebter und attraktiver Schüler zurechtfindet, erkennt er, dass das äußere Erscheinungsbild in der Gesellschaft alles ist und dass Menschen danach beurteilt werden, wie sie aussehen. Während er mit seiner neuen Identität zu kämpfen hat, freundet sich Hyung-Seok mit anderen Schülern an, die wegen ihres Aussehens ausgegrenzt wurden, und gemeinsam lernen sie, gesellschaftliche Normen in Frage zu stellen und neu zu definieren, was es bedeutet, schön zu sein. Auf ihrem Weg stehen sie vor verschiedenen Herausforderungen und Hindernissen, darunter Eifersucht, Verrat und persönliche Unsicherheiten. Durch die Auseinandersetzung mit Themen wie Schönheitsstandards, Selbstwertgefühl und Identität bietet Lookism einen zum Nachdenken anregenden Kommentar zur zeitgenössischen Gesellschaft und dem Druck, dem Einzelpersonen ausgesetzt sind, sich bestimmten Standards anzupassen.

    Immersing into Lookism is a breath of fresh air; it unveils hidden struggles behind society’s harsh beauty standards, resonating deeply with my journey in Chicago.

  2. Luca Pereira from São Paulo, Brasil

    Cara, você viu o último volume de Lookism? Eu tô absolutamente fissurado! A maneira como ele aborda a pressão estética e as inseguranças de quem é marginalizado pelo jeito que se parece é bem profunda. O Hyung-Seok tá enfrentando uns desafios realmente intensos, mas aquele espírito de camaradagem entre os personagens me pegou! É super importante ver representações assim no mangá — conecta muita gente na vida real. Resumindo: não importa sua aparência, todo mundo luta suas batalhas internas. Leitura obrigatória pra galera entender que beleza vai além do visual!

  3. Khalil Seddik from Tangier, Morocco (verified owner)

    Through Hyung-Seok’s metamorphosis, the comic deftly probes cultural preconceptions of attractiveness while unearthing deep-rooted insecurities endemic to contemporary youth. An essential read.

  4. Liora Tembe from Nairobi, Kenya

    Amidst a landscape riddled with vanity and judgement, Lookism’s twelfth volume whispers fiercely to the outcast hearts. It challenges how we see beauty beyond façades.

  5. Emily from Chicago, USA

    Lookism – Comic Book Vol.11 delves deeper into the themes of beauty and self-acceptance, capturing my attention with its well-developed characters. I appreciate how it portrays Park Hyung-Seok’s transformation as not just physical but also emotional, emphasizing the struggles that come with societal pressure regarding appearance. The vibrant artwork is engaging, enhancing the storytelling and bringing each character’s emotions to life. This volume especially resonated with me because it challenges perceptions around beauty while promoting friendship and support among marginalized individuals.

  6. David from Austin, USA

    I thoroughly enjoyed Lookism – Comic Book Vol.11. The storyline delves deeply into the themes of identity and societal pressure regarding beauty, which I found compelling. Park Hyung-Seok’s transformation from an overweight student to one with a handsome appearance offers both humor and poignancy as it addresses how looks affect social dynamics in school. The character development is impressive, particularly his friendships with other marginalized individuals that emphasize unity amidst struggles. It made me reflect on my perceptions of beauty and self-worth more critically.
