Breakfast: Beauty Pop

I just had my breakfast today. Not NAsi Lemak or something but it is shojo manga, Beauty Pop. I'm into many genres of manga, be it shonen, shoujo, seinen etc but i'm very selective in reading shojo. Not all shoujo manga is good but some are.

Beauty Pop is about a group of people with talents to be beauticians. they started with a small club in school until finally they are able to build their own empire with obstacles along the way. they give their client the magic to be a more attractive person. the manga has a sense of comedy, a bit on envy, jealousy, romantic, friendship, betrayal and more. I finished the 10 volume manga in about 1 and 1/2 days. it is a good and relax read.


i just got some news regarding manga from Japan. they are going to ban manga with explicit sex content or something or else the mangaka will be fined. well, not that i care but i think it may affect the industry. it seems the bill is being opposed by mangakas and publishers. so maybe in the future no more hentai, yuri, yaoi, shonen ai, and shojo ai. well, who knows.
