Beauty Pop

I'm surprised that this comic isn't among the most popular ones. It's a beautiful storyline and makes me laugh, cry, scream, and worry. It's about a girl named Kiri who is a very amazing hairstylist but she doesn't want to be in the beginning. She's far from being a Mary Sue because she has her flaws, which are a very limited emotional range, and if you ask Narumi, the main guy, she's not even a girl. Narumi on the other hand is a gifted hairstylist, nowhere near Kiri's talent, and he plans to be the number one hairstylist in Japan. This boy has a verywide emotional range, as I have yet to find a part where he is not freaking out about something. He's allergic to girls (Which is very funny to me) and he's a little bit of a jerk. I laugh at all the relationships Kiri has, one being a little girl who thinks Kiri's her prince, another is a boy obsessed with Kiri because he's obsessed with her mother, a make up artist who was best friends with Narumi, another great hairstylist who's been through a rough time, and last but not least, Narumi. I loved the way that Kiri helped people, Narumi and other hairstylists all chose people that were beautiful to make beautiful, she always went with the people that needed it the most. I'm hooked on Beauty Pop for it's comedy, storyline, art, characters, romance, everything in it pretty much. It's an awesome comic that I hope you love.

when I 1st knew about the story from the following summary: "Although a truly gifted hairstylist, Kiri Koshiba has no interest in using her talent to pursue fame and fortune, unlike the three popular boys in the "Scissors Project" at school. They give showy makeovers to handpicked girls, determined to become the best makeover team in Japan. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the Scissors Project spotlight, she finds herself responding to beauty's call..." the part of what interest me most was a gifted hairstylest girl who doesn't have interest of becoming hairstylist and other guys who wanted to be famous. so I givena shot... and I say as one of best manga shoujo I've read besides Fruits Basket and Hana Kimi. Story: for a shoujo manga, which usually shoujo manga has so much romance in with obvious hints, I'm suprised because in this one the romance is not the real focus, is a story where unfolds and flows with a different rythm than the usual shoujo manga. the only problem is that te story development can be a bit slow. Art: I like the art a lot, clothes in special and perspectives, is not a masterpiece, to me is good, I like how it shows the emotions of the character. Character: to me is what this manga has best, the characters with their unique ways and personality, and so as their beliefs in development, they always have great development and how shows more of their personality while the story develops. very entertaining characters XD. one of good points, they are not those fancy characters in usual typical shoujos. Enjoyment: is sure big because I've re-read 2 times, and I found very enjoyfull, good comedy, it has good cool moments. Overall: I say is really good, too bad is not in anime. has 10 volumes, enough to have 26 eps D: we could say is part of my wish list of mangas to turn into anime.

I'm still stuck in the exciting world that is the Scissors Project. I picked up the first volume thinking it would just help me pass the time, but i ended up racing to the library every weekend for the next couple of copies. it has a great story line with lovable characters, with adventures that will make you laugh out loud. despite it's cheer, there are still side stories that nearly had me bawling. the only downside is there is only ten volumes, which made the ending seem a little rushed. it was an okay ending, but some strings needed to be tied up. overall, oneof my favorite mangas so far, and i would definitely recommend it.
