I liked how it dives into issues of beauty. It makes you think about society a bit more. The pages were easy to flip through, but the print is quite small for me.

Yo, ik heb net het nieuwe deel van Lookism gelezen en wauw, die ontwikkeling is echt wild! Park Hyung-Seok’s verhaal over jezelf opnieuw uitvinden vind ik zo herkenbaar. We zijn allemaal ooit onzeker geweest over ons uiterlijk en deze comic pakt dat heel goed aan. Het maakt je bewust van de druk om er op een bepaalde manier uit te zien in onze maatschappij – superrelatable dus! De illustraties? Om naar huis te schrijven – elk panel houdt je vast. Zeker lezen als je zin hebt in iets wat blijft hangen!

Set against the backdrop of a contemporary school, it reflects an ongoing struggle with self-identity amidst relentless social expectations regarding beauty norms. The character development, particularly that of Park Hyung-Seok, pushes readers to confront their own biases while examining how physical appearance influences interpersonal relationships and individual worthiness. Its unapologetic portrayal provides both critique and solace for those navigating these complex issues—a resonant message echoing across cultures beyond its original South Korean roots.
