Epic Manga About Self Acceptance and Body Positivity ( with Godzilla )

This is an amazing shoujo manga which took me by surprise and I really liked it. I am going to keep it short because the manga has released only 30 chapters so far ( at the time of writing this ) so writing a full fledged review is not possible.

It's Just Epic

The premise of the manga revolves around a small girl who suffers from a disease which makes her body parts turn into that of a monster during her day. Naturally, due to her health condition and monster-like body parts, she believes that she cannot be in a relationship with anyone, this is the where the epic shoujo manga twist comes in and she meets a pretty boy ( you can guess what happens next heh heh ) .

Now I know I made it sound generic and I might not be good at "selling" manga but believe me, this manga is special ( I won't be writing this if it wasn't ) . I will talk about my favourite part of the manga first, that is the beautiful and amazing artwork of it. It can be sparkling and cute, I mean damn. I am a big boy but looking at this charming shoujo art-style makes me feel butterflies in my stomach, it's so sparkly. Apart from the beautiful shoujo-manga art, the manga also has beautiful monster art which is really something. How can you have both art that is so charming & sparkly while also having these beautifully drawn scary Godzilla destroying cities lol?. Honestly, very cool.

Now, apart from the art. There is the plot and characters. Now, this manga has only 30 chapters and is still releasing, so my thoughts on those topics may be wrong because the manga hasn't gotten that far into the story or the characters. It's basically very shoujo-manga if you know what I mean. It's a story about the relationship between the girl and the boy, the problems and hurdles they each face, how they deal with it and cute moments :D . it's really charming. The comedy of the manga is good and it made me laugh a few times. The story is interesting and kept making me wanna read more because there are not many manga where the girl is a fucking monster, you know lol ( also the art kept making me wanna come back ). Overall, good shit.

A Beautiful Story About Body Positivity

Now I know Body Positivity is not the most complex topic out there, there are many songs and media that talk about it ( for example, Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara is a very good song) but there is not a lot of it in manga and anime form ( In fact, I would say the opposite is quite prevalent with anime girls having boobs with the diameter of fucking Jupiter lol ). This manga doesn't go super in detail or depth with it or anything ( at least not so far ) but it does do a decent job, the main character being accepted by the boy and her friends, the side stories of other characters and their own conversations about their bodies and acceptance. It does represent that there is more to a person than just their appearance and how shapely their ass is. Thinking a person is "attractive" or wanting to date/marry a person only because they look "hot" is like saying "Yah, This Character is the best character ever because their character design is good" lol . What I am trying to say is, Yes people can be hot in your eyes and it makes them more attractive but looking down on someone/yourself or thinking someone/you can't find love because you don't think they/you look "cute" is just a really shallow way to look at a human being. There are many aspects and their body is only one of them, not all of them. These are my thoughts. I am sure you have your own thoughts on the topic and what makes a person attractive ( I would love to hear them) .

Thanks for reading, feel free to message me about the review/manga :D
