Truyện rất hay, nhân vật Park Hyung-Seok có tính cách thú vị. Vẫn còn nhiều điều tôi chưa rõ về kết thúc truyện. Mỗi lần đọc đều thấy thêm được nhiều khía cạnh khác nhau của cuộc sống thanh thiếu niên.

Good story that really dives into self-image. I liked how it showed real friendships in tough times.
Cillian O'Malley from Berlin, Deutschland –
Ich erinnere mich, als ich das erste Mal einen Comic las, der es wagte, tief in Fragen der Identität und gesellschaftlichen Schönheit zu gehen. Die Erfahrungen von Cillian sind so nachvollziehbar; nicht jeder sieht aus wie ein Modelsuperstar oder hat eine ‘perfekte’ Figur. Für Menschen wie uns — diejenigen an den Rändern — bietet jede Seite Hoffnung und bestärkt das Gefühl unserer Würde unabhängig vom äußeren Schein.

Exploring the dynamics of youth culture through “Lookism” offers profound insights into today’s ever-evolving standards of beauty and acceptance. The transformative journey taken by Park Hyung-Seok underscores a fundamental shift: recognition that worth cannot be tethered to mere physicality. Set against an atmospheric backdrop resonating with socio-cultural narratives, readers witness his evolution amidst relatable experiences among fellow students marginalized for varied reasons—from socioeconomic factors to personal insecurities—encouraging discourse around resilience and inclusivity within adolescent environments.

I liked the art style a lot. The characters were interesting and relatable too. Shipping was slow, but worth it for fans of comics like this one.
Moana Tavares from São Paulo, Brasil –
Moana é uma jovem que encontra consolo nas páginas da ‘Lookism – Comic Book Vol.5’. Sua jornada ressoa profundamente com a luta diária para lidar com os padrões de beleza impostos pela sociedade em nossa vida aqui no Brasil. Enquanto ela vê Park Hyung-Seok transcender as barreiras físicas e sociais, reflete sobre suas próprias inseguranças enfrentadas numa cidade como São Paulo, onde diversidade não tem fim, mas discriminações ainda proliferam. Esta HQ destaca poderosamente o impacto do amor-próprio em um mundo que frequentemente parece desprezar quem somos fora das aparências; acredito sinceramente que todos deveriam dar essa obra incrível uma chance — ela fere sentimentos enquanto brinda empatia.

الكتاب جيد جداً ويستحق الشراء. قصة مثيرة وعبر جيدة عن الذات والمظهر الخارجي. أحببت الصور والطبعة أيضاً.
Min-Jae Hong from Seoul, South Korea –
Yo, just read Lookism Vol.5 and wow, it hit different! I mean, it’s wild how relatable Hyung-Seok’s journey feels — like he starts out as this bullied dude but then BAM! New body and all the drama unfolds about beauty standards that are so real these days. His friendships with other outsiders? Total vibes; really makes you think about society’s expectations. The art is cool too – can’t forget to mention those visuals pulling you into their world hard-core! Def give it a shot if you’re into stories that challenge norms!
Ji-Hoon Lee from Seoul, South Korea –
In the vibrant mosaic of contemporary youth culture, ‘Lookism – Comic Book Vol.5’ emerges as a striking reflection on the arbitrary shackles imposed by societal beauty norms. Set against the bustling backdrop of Seoul’s high schools, Park Hyung-Seok’s metamorphosis is not merely physical; it delves into emotional resilience and authentic connection amongst those often left in society’s shadows. The artwork encapsulates raw emotions brilliantly while articulating poignant dialogues about identity and self-worth that resonate far beyond Korean borders. As readers traverse each page, they’re invited to confront their biases alongside characters whose struggles mirror our own myriad experiences across cultural landscapes worldwide.

Хорошая манга. Читается быстро и понятно, смешивает забавные моменты с серьёзными темами. Упаковка была немного помята при доставке, но книги внутри в норме.
