Read the full take

True Beauty is a bright, full-colour makeover story with a relatable hook. A shy comic-book fan binge-watches beauty videos, masters the art of makeup, and suddenly becomes the prettiest girl in school. Her social standing skyrockets, but the question is how long her elite status can last and how long she can keep her real self a secret. The premise is fun, and the series treats the anxiety of image with a light, observant touch. The makeup and fashion details are polished and lively. The cute boy who knows her secret adds a warm tension to the story. The honest cons: the long run drifts in its middle arcs, and some plot turns repeat the same worry about being discovered. Some side characters are thin. Still, it is a pleasant, funny read about being seen for who you are. If you enjoy romcoms built around a secret, this is a good pick.
