Alter, wenn du mal wirklich einen comic sehen willst, der deine Denke zu Schönheit komplett durchrüttelt – dann ist Lookism genau das Ding! Stell dir vor, Park Hyung-Seok war schon am Boden zerstört wegen seiner Übergewichtssituation. Plötzlich hat er diesen mega coolen Body und lernt erst richtig kennen wie viel oberflächliches Gerede da draußen gibt. Er trifft auf Kumpels die ebenfalls nicht nach Schönheitsidealen aussehen; alle kämpfen ihre eigenen Schlachten mit Selbstbewusstsein etc. Geht um mehr als nur Äußerlichkeiten Leute! Wie wird man wertgeschätzt? Echt super Themen die jedem was geben können, lohnt sich!
