I liked how this comic showed real issues about fitting in and self-image. Ju-Kyung’s struggle felt relatable. The art style is pretty cool, but a bit bright for my taste. Takes some time to get through since it’s not too thick.

This comic is pretty good and captures the story well. The art style makes it enjoyable to read, and it’s easy to understand. Just a bit smaller than expected, but still fun overall.

बच्चों को पसंद आया, अच्छी कहानी है। कवर थोड़ा खंडित था।

Het boek is leuk en de tekeningen zijn mooi. Het vertelt goed het verhaal van een meisje dat meer zelfvertrouwen krijgt. Leuke afwisseling tussen humor en emotie. Verzending was snel, ik kon gelijk beginnen met lezen.
Arjun Sharma from Mumbai, India –
बेवकूफ लगता था। कहानी का वह अद्भुत मोड़ जो अंततः हर एक खामियों को पहचानने पर मजबूर करता है! आत्मसम्मान बढ़ता दिखा, रिश्तों की जटिलताओं ने गहराई दी। मन में सवाल उठते रहे कि असल कौन है?
Aroha from Sydney, Australia –
قبل أن أبدأ في قراءة الكوميك “True Beauty” شعرت بأن الكثير من أعمال فنون الويب عن المظهر الجمالي تم تناولها بطريقة سطحية، وكانت نظرتي للقصص الخيالية مشبعة بالتشكيك. لكن مع الصفحة الأولى ومن خلال رحلة ليم جو-كونغ، دخلت إلى عالم ساحر يظهر تحديات الدخلاء وزيف الروحانيات التي نستخلصها من اللقاء بالفنانة المشهورة والتي انطلقت بثقة وبعناية لتأسيس نفسها وإعادة بناء أفكار المجتمعات عنها. أثبت كسر الحواجز وتقلب الشرف على أساس واحدٌ جميل: أنك تستحق جمال قلبكَ مهما كان أي حطام.

Dalam edisi kesembilan komik ‘True Beauty’, saya merasakan penekanan mendalam tentang pencarian diri dan identitas. Mengisahkan Lim Ju-Kyung yang menggunakan riasan untuk membentuk pandangannya terhadap dunia, cerita ini menangkap banyak lapisan emosional dalam perjuangan remaja. Namun, apa yang sangat mengesankan bagi saya adalah interaksi kompleksnya dengan teman-teman dan perasaan cinta pertamanya di sebuah lingkungan sekolah tinggi bising penuh tekanan sosial dari kelompok teman sebaya.
Suasana seputar urban perkotaan Korea Selatan menghadirkan rasa otentik kehidupan modern melalui teknik visual cantiknya – masing-masing panel mengundang pembaca tidak hanya melihat tetapi merasakan denyut nadi nuansa segitiga cinta penuh misteri di balik hias luar biasa kecantikan palsu. Semuanya berpuncak pada pesan mulia bahwa kepercayaan lebih berharga daripada citra.
Liesel Krause from London, England –
Initially, I hesitated to dive into ‘True Beauty’ due to the classic tropes found in teenage narratives. However, this webtoon quickly dismantles my doubts with its intricate character arcs and authentic exploration of beauty standards. Lim Ju-Kyung’s journey transcends mere superficiality; it captures the painful yet relatable struggles of many young adults striving for acceptance in a society driven by appearance. Her friendship dynamics were refreshing and resonated deeply with my experiences here in vibrant London—a city that knows well how perception can define relationships all too harshly.
Tatiana Novak from Amsterdam, Nederland –
Deze strip toont prachtig de zoektocht naar zelfacceptatie. Ju-Kyung leert niet alleen hoe make-up haar kan helpen, maar ook dat ware schoonheid van binnen komt. Inspirerend en realistisch!
Niamh O'Connell from Dublin, Ireland –
Ah, the comic journey of Lim Ju-Kyung brings a breath of fresh air and warm nostalgia, reminiscent of my own teenage tribulations. Here in Dublin, we are no strangers to the feelings that swirl within this webtoon—transformation speaks volumes! True Beauty artfully unravels her evolution from self-doubt into unabashed confidence through makeup artistry. Unlike typical portrayals found elsewhere that merely skim surface struggles with beauty norms—and dare I say brush aside deeper truths—this tale plunges straight into heartfelt honesty about inner fears amid dazzling exteriors.
Each frame sparkles as if you can feel bustling city life juxtaposed against personal quests for authenticity—a motif universal yet deeply resonant here at home. From Paris’s romantic allure echoing false standards to our quirky local perceptions tucked in corners beyond Liffey’s embrace—it resonates.
Cillian O'Sullivan from Boston, USA –
Picking up ‘True Beauty’ felt like unveiling layers of my own experience. I found solace in Ju-Kyung’s struggles as a high schooler navigating beauty standards, reminding me how we mask our true selves to be seen. While roaming the busy streets of Boston’s South End and chasing autumn leaves swirling around Park Street Church, the illustrations awakened feelings rooted deeply in youth – shared laughter and unguarded moments from behind first-day-of-school desks transcending superficiality.
Liesel Müller from Amsterdam, Nederland –
Als lezer van veel verschillende stripboeken was ik positief verrast door het nieuwste deel van True Beauty. De verhaallijn geeft niet alleen een geweldige kijk op de thema’s van zelfacceptatie en schoonheid, maar raakt ook culturele gevoeligheden aan die breed herkenbaar zijn voor jongere generaties hier in Amsterdam. Met Liesel als personage voelt haar reis echt authentiek – haar worstelingen en overwinningen spreken enorm tot de jeugdige ziel! Deze comic vertelt met overtuiging hoe oppervlakkigheid soms weggestopt is achter gelaagdheid: machtiger dan wat het eerste lijkt te suggereren.
Cillian O'Connor from Dublin, Ireland –
Finnegan’s eye-opening tale in True Beauty stirs a potent blend of empowerment and self-discovery. As he navigates youthful pressures, each panel unearths vulnerabilities many face—refreshing yet heartbreakingly real.

C’est une bonne lecture, j’ai beaucoup ri. Les dessins sont colorés et attrayants. Un petit bémol : certaines scènes semblent longues. Je préfère les volumes plus courts mais ça reste sympa.
