MANGA: Perfect Appearance
Perfect Appearance – 阿闷aman
A prince found a mysterious potion that is thought to make one more beautiful, so he gave it to his knight. However…
This is adorbs! Tragic but adorbs.
Perfect Appearance is a webtoon about a prince and his loyal knight. The story is set in a kingdom where everybody looks the same. One day, the prince found a potion said to improved one’s appearance. He poured it over his knight who transformed into one heck of an ikemen. This change of appearance started evil rumors about the knight and the emperor decided to sentence him to death.
This is a short manga of 5 chapters, each one brief and to the point. The story is told like a fairy tale with characters drawn as cutesy, round humanoids. It downplays the tragedy with its cute and childlike delivery. I really enjoyed this style because even though there’s a noose waiting, I’m still happy the prince had his knight.
