Kenshi Tanaka from Tokyo, Japan –
作画が繊細で、ストーリーは新しい視点を持ち、人間関係の複雑さやアイデンティティ探求に真摯な態度が表れています。重圧から解放され、新たな体と自己価値を発見するこの物語は、美の概念への挑戦として光り輝く一方、友情とコミュニケーションに焦点を当てます。また、この巻ではユーモア溢れるエピソードも多く、それぞれ異なる背景を持つ登場人物たちによる豊かな対話で作品全体が更に立体的になっています。他の商品とは違い、『ルキズム』16巻は読者へ内面的成長について思索し続けるきっかけになるでしょう。
Catalina Rojas from Buenos Aires, Argentina –
Ao ler Lookism, lembrei da escola e dos desafios diários. Muitos de nós já vivemos o julgamento pela aparência ou nos sentimos à margem. Este quadrinho capta essa luta com sinceridade: as reviravoltas do aceitação pessoal são tocantes!

Nestled within the intricate narrative of Lookism Vol.16 is a bold challenge to societal beauty constructs, layered with emotional gravitas that transcends cultural borders. Park Hyung-Seok’s transformation invites readers from places like bustling New York City and tranquil Vancouver alike to reflect on their own experiences regarding body image and self-worth. Unlike traditional superhero arcs filled only with triumphs, this webtoon courageously reveals vulnerability alongside victories in acceptance—making it as relatable for teens around a London café sipping cappuccinos as it is for those sharing bento boxes in Tokyo alleys. This poignant commentary on peer pressures echoes profoundly among millennials everywhere seeking authenticity beyond façades.

Luciana Ccahuana from Cuzco, Peru –
As a student nestled among the sprawling mountains of Peru, I stumbled upon Lookism – Volume 16 amidst my relentless search for stories that resonate with our struggle against beauty expectations. The journey of Park Hyung-Seok speaks volumes about societal preconceptions; his transformation captures not just an exterior shift but a deeper, much-needed dialogue surrounding acceptance and identity in an increasingly image-conscious world. The relatability found within its vibrant illustrations and poignant narrative transcends cultural barriers; whether you’re grappling with your own self-image or navigating peer pressures as we often do here at high altitude—every character sings a familiar tune woven into the fabric of youth struggles across continents.

Questo volume di Lookism è un viaggio incredibile nel mondo della bellezza e dell’identità. Attraverso le avventure di Hyung-Seok, riscopriamo l’importanza dell’autenticità in un contesto che spesso giudica superficialmente. L’arte brillante affianca una narrazione potente: ogni pagina è come uno specchio sociale che riflette le nostre ansie contemporanee.

Die Story ist spannend und bietet viele gute Einsichten. Band 16 hatte einige lustige Momente, die ich mochte. Das Buch kam in Ordnung an, aber es war kleiner als erwartet.
