Kiri is a gifted young hairstylist who takes great pleasure in anonymously using her talents to add a ‘little magic' to an ordinary girl's life. On the flipside, a group of three boys called the Scissors Project have an entirely different mindset: they give grand makeovers to a select group of handpicked girls who are beautiful to begin with. Kiri is quite content with staying out of the public eye, though with the Scissors Project's leader Narumi refusing to stand aside and give up his makeover throne, it seems that she won't be able to stay out of the spotlight for long. With challenges being thrown at her whenever there's a chance, Kiri finds that she cannot resist responding to the world of hairstyling.
With a noticeable tan and bleached hair, Momo Adachi is a high school student who is frequently misunderstood by her classmates. She's accused of being a playgirl and is the subject of many rumors, most of which originate from her ‘best friend' Sae who is jealous of Momo due to them having a crush on the same boy. Momo's life only gets worse when Kairi Okayasu, who she once saved from drowning, decides to make her his own. Kairi coming into Momo's life only encourages Sae to spread more rumors about Momo and Kairi while going after Toji herself, creating quite a complicated situation for everyone involved.
These two manga take arms against society's version of beauty and argue that any girl can be beautiful, so you should be happy to be yourself! They do so in rather different manners, but the message is there, and it's rather refreshing.
Its almost the same! It's got romance and hairstyling. Its a one-shot though, so its a bit short and the plot is quick, but awesome.
Tokimeki Gakuen Oujigumi and Beauty Pop are both shoujo manga that involve male characters that are obviously similar. Each of the main three guys in Beauty Pop are covered with the 'prince' stereotypes highlighted in Tokimeki Gakuen Oujimi. If you liked one, you should like the other.
