J’aime vraiment ce volume. Les dessins sont super et l’histoire est captivante. Je me suis bien amusé à suivre Ju-Kyung dans ses aventures au lycée. L’édition est de bonne qualité, les pages ne s’usent pas facilement.

初めて『True Beauty』第2巻を手に取った時は、タイトルとは裏腹の現実味ある描写に戸惑いました。高校生の若い女性が持つ自己評価への悩み、その深さには共鳴する部分があります。しかしメイクによる変身というアイディアには一瞬反発心も感じたものの、それ以外にも友情や成長といったテーマもしっかり掘り下げられていて面白かったです。一方で、本当に大切なこと、美しさ以上のおそらく他者との関係性について新しい視点が提供され、この漫画から学んだ価値観は多岐にわたりそうでした。それぞれ読み進めながら思いや精神的困難とも向き合う勇気も貰えました。

La beauté ne s’apprend pas seulement par des transformations extérieures, mais aussi à travers les expériences qui façonnent notre cœur. Dans chaque regard d’admiration, je vois la lutte de celles et ceux qui cachent leur vrai visage derrière le mascara.

Die Faszination für die visuelle Transformation zieht den Leser sofort in den Bann. Ju-Kyung, während ihrer bemerkenswerten Reise der Selbstfindung und inneren Konflikte überträgt auf fesselnde Art, wie gesellschaftlicher Druck sich manifestiert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das ständige Spiel zwischen Echtheit und künstlichem Glanz – dies öffnet Türen zu intensiven Reflexionen darüber, was wahre Schönheit wirklich bedeutet. Der Comic beleuchtet präzise wichtige soziale Dynamiken durch reichhaltige Zeichnungen sowie Emotionstechnik., Wesentliche Lektionen stehen im Zentrum: Wahrhaftigkeit reicht weiter als Oberflächengeplänkel; zudem wird fragwürdiger Perfektionsdrang kritisiert.

Discovering ‘True Beauty’ swept me into a whirlwind of laughter and heartbreak. Ju-Kyung’s struggles mirror my own; it’s deeply moving to watch her growth from isolation to radiant self-acceptance.

Oh ragazzo, che gioiello questo fumetto di ‘True Beauty’! Sembra una soap opera dei miei sogni ad occhi aperti. Lim Ju-Kyung si destreggia tra l’inferno del liceo e la magia del trucco come se fosse nata per farlo! L’idea dietro tutto ciò mi colpisce profondamente; trovo affascinante il modo in cui affronta le proprie insicurezze. Qui nel cuore d’Irlanda ci metteremmo anni a prendere simili decisioni riguardo al nostro aspetto – credetemi! È pieno di sentimento e sfide vere, i protagonisti sono tanto veri quanto noi lo siamo nei momenti buoni o brutti.

登場人物たちのリアルな葛藤が心に響きました。美しさとは内面からくるものであるというメッセージを強調する素晴らしい物語です。

Initially, I approached ‘True Beauty’ Vol.2 with reservations—did it really hold the same charm as its predecessor? Admittedly, this chapter not only captured my interest but managed to engage me on multiple levels! The vibrant exploration of identity and transformation resonates deeply; one can relate even in a world far removed from Korean schools. Lim Ju-Kyung’s battle with societal expectations might seem universal but feels especially profound when set against the canvas of adolescent dilemmas that echo everywhere from bustling New York to serene Sydney streets. The comic doesn’t shy away from insecurities we all carry yet invites readers into lighthearted yet impactful discussions around self-worth beyond physical attributes—and what beauty means personally instead of societally.

魅力を解放する、真の美のストーリー。コンプレックスに立ち向かう主人公と共鳴し、自分自身の内面も磨けた気がします。このマンガは単なる外見的変化だけでなく、自信について深く考えさせる作品です。
Freya Skov from Copenhagen, Denmark –
Stepping into the realm of ‘True Beauty’ Volume 2, one is immediately drawn not just to Ju-Kyung’s physical transformation but also to her rich emotional journey. Living in bustling Copenhagen amidst the viking legacy and contemporary fashion trends, I’ve seen how makeup can be a powerful means of expression. What resonates deeply here isn’t merely about looking beautiful; it reflects societal pressures that are as relevant on my local streets as they are in Seoul or Los Angeles. As an artist who thrives on authenticity—finding your true self through layered experiences—is akin to peeling away paint from historical walls revealing unexpected art beneath.
While other comics brush superficially over similar themes, ‘True Beauty’ bravely dives deeper—it raises poignant questions surrounding identity versus perceived beauty that reverberate across different cultures—from dynamic European cities with vibrant urban contrasts like mine (Copenhagen) all the way back home.
