Gabriel Verstegen from Amsterdam, Nederland –
In de recentelijk uitgebrachte Vol.17 van Lookism word je meteen meegenomen in een boeiende wereld die thema’s als sociale acceptatie en uiterlijk benadrukt. Als we de ups and downs volgen van onze protagonist, Gabriel Verstegen, vanuit ons eigen Amsterdamse perspectief lijkt zijn verhaal vaak heel herkenbaar. De mix tussen zware realiteiten zoals pesten op school en persoonlijke groei biedt niet alleen actie maar prikkelt ook diepe emoties bij elke lezer. Voor iedereen die ooit gekampt heeft met schoonheid-norm pressures is dit echt geen gewone comic; het laat achter wat kwetsbaarheid betekent voor veel jongeren vandaag.

Diving into ‘Lookism’ Volume 17 was like taking a refreshing plunge into the complexities of youth and societal norms, reflecting deeply on what makes us feel worthy in a world riddled with judgment. The character evolution is brilliantly laid out—what begins as mere aesthetic allure soon turns darker under scrutiny. By focusing on themes like friendship and inner strength against adversity, it forces readers to rethink not just perceptions but empathy itself—a necessary contemplation whether you’re from downtown Manhattan or historical Paris.

Jede Seite erzählt Geschichten voller Ehrfurcht. Man wird berührt von der Realität des Selbstwertes und dem ständigen Kampf gegen die äußere Hülle, auf einfühlsame Weise verarbeitet.
