My third or fourth time reading and it still feels fresh. This manga was so ahead of its time and has been so influential in my taste in fiction.

It’s like it wanted to be social commentary but it still bought into the ideas of “fugly”/beauty as a binary based entirely on social norms. Annoying and shallow.
