This is a true drama to me. It can get pretty messed up at times and depressing.

Story: 9

It's about a girl who's face is so ugly people can't bear to look at it.
Her story isn't about getting back at bullies or coming to love herself, it's about throwing her old self away and trying to become someone completely fake in order to be loved. So it's a pretty negative theme when most stories try to teach you to love yourself. But in Kasane's case it's interesting to see how far she would go, and for her beauty is also power. It's like she's the villain and the protagonist at the same time. If I were to compare this story with anything, maybe the movie Black swan is sort of similar.

Art: 8

The art is pretty and consistent. Since it's cartoonish Kasane's ugliness might not always come across. She's usually drawn with her face partially obscured, which I think is because the author wants us readers to fill in the blanks. We kind of have to imagine how ugly she is to justify other character's reactions. The beautiful characters really are drawn as beautiful as possible.

Enjoyment: 8

I felt pretty tense reading it and couldn't wait to read more and see what happens. It is most definitely not a feel-good story, it made me feel a little messed up at parts. The characters are interesting but maybe I can't cal them 'likeable' because they aren't good people. But I did feel for them and I teared up at parts.

Overall I rate it 8. I'd rate it higher if certain characters weren't as exaggeratedly evil/shallow. Also a bit spoilery but there is rape and abuse in this story so if that makes you uncomfortable you probably don't want to read it.
