Lookism - Recommendations

sonheesu says...

Both have a lot of fighting and bullying.

In Lookism, Daniel finds himself in a new body which learn new technques easily.

In weak hero, Gray has unique fighting skills based on cunningness...

Kozaya says...

Both Lookism and Weak Hero are fighting manga that center around a main character that doesn't seem like they should be strong at first. They both have extremely well thought out characters, interesting stories, and complex dynamics. I absolutely adore them, and 100% recommend both. :)

I dont know, cuz they both involve a lot of gangs, school fights and other school conquering

Ajintook says...

If you enjoy Weak Hero than you should also read Lookism, since it similar in term of how the MCs doesn't look like someone who are good at fighting but actually pretty badass at it. The character development for both of the story is nicely done too

korabi says...

Both Lookism and Weak Hero have the same highschool / martial arts mix. They both have gangs and that sort of fighting hierarchy. Overall, both are great. Im not at all a critic but from the standpoint of a reader, I really enjoy and recommend both these mangas.

I don't know how to explain it. I might edit this later. I'm like 65% caught up with lookism, but I was reading a chapter and I spontaneously went, "This is similar to weak hero!" The characters are all very individual, both manhwas dive into background stories of many characters. They both have an mc that goes through drastic character development over the course of the plot. Lookism is like a comedic genius, however Weak hero was funny too. Not nearly as funny but pretty good. There are heavy chapters and lighthearted ones present in both. The chatacter development of the mc is much slower in lookism but the development of other characters make up for it. 

Animescient says...

Both stories starts off with a loser who learns how to fight against the bullies. Along the way these losers make friends with strong guys, and just get way more popular.

feste says...

Both are by the same author, and they share a lot of elements such as bullying, popularity, lookism and fighting. Lots of fighting.

Funnily enough, you actually get to see refrences to each other in the actual works, and in Lookism there's actually a panel that shows the main characters of Viral Hit.

mamoko says...

Both include two 'nerds' or weak characters that are bullied and fall into a form of success when it comes to life/fighting.  Both have good character development of main and side characters, as well as a good dose of humor.

korabi says...

Highschool / martial arts manga. Not going in depth too lazy, but both are good. Recommend both.

Jiyuetpro says...

Both are created by the same author. It's fight scene are extremely good and a lot of the times they are quite funny too although for lookism its not as funny anymore and much more serious.

Y0ul1 says...

especially viral hit is pretty cool, good characters, nice plot , and hot fighters 

what else could i ask for ??<3

I am recommeding these two comics both ways because they each tell the story about how society focuses on physical appearance. In both, the main character is 'ugly', having features that are disparaged and this leads them both to be abused (emotionally/physically). The characters both receive temporary solutions and turn 'beautiful'. They use these to tackle their own self-image issues and overcome their bullies. The major difference is that the main character in Lookism is male, and that of Beauty Game is a female.

One more thing, I dropped Lookism because I did not enjoy it after the first few chapters. I am enjoying Beauty Game much more but I still stand by my recommendation. Coolies.

CallMeMad says...

Both involve an unattractive MC who are bullied because of it, where they eventually become attractive through seemingly "magical" ways. Although in lookism the character instead finds that he now has two bodies, when one is asleep he wake up in the other. While in Beuty game she changes her current body (though only for specific duractions of time).

ChadEmpress says...

Well, the elements of the stories are kind of similar, Facelift game is about the Lookism the FML faces in the story and how her life changes after her face becomes pretty. Well, In aspects, Facelift game is more about Lookism than Lookism itself is.

animeplantinq says...

Same energy. An a guy suddenly gets a perfect body and everyone reacts to them different. Face genius hasn't been translate alot so I cant say anything more.

Ermory says...

Both are people who are considered ugly or not beautiful by society who suddenly turn into beautiful people, hats the only thing they have in common.

IrisWhite143 says...

They both have a similar vibe

koeto says...

Both deal with similar topics, involving social commentary on human nature, bullying, stalking, corruption, & other darker elements. Also, both involve intriguing twists relating to the main character’s ability and what it means in the context of the plot. Both have wonderful art, have the Zero to Hero trope (main character starts out as a “loser”), involve a lot of violence / fighting, and a tinge of romance! Two of my favorite reads, ever. Inspiring in their own right.

animeplantinq says...

Both bullied for bieng ugly/short. Both also becomes handsome somehow. Both are realy good at fighting.

Timistime says...

instead of a body switch he has his late growths spurt and is the strongest fighter in school and bully start to like him

feste says...

It's from the same author (but different artists), so they share a lot of elements.

First of all, the type of humour is the same, which I appreciate. It also deals with a weak guy becoming strong (kinda?), and taking over bodies and all that jazz. Overall, they share a very similar tone and if you like one you should at least be okay with the other.

Jiyuetpro says...

The director of both of them is the same which is why the humor is also similiar which is nice (although the artstyle is different as the artist is the boyfriend of the creator of True beauty) There are reference to viral hit (one of them is quite obvious too) which is a comic that was created by the author of lookism too. An insane amount of plot twist which always puts you on edgeOverall very nice and the ending is one of the best ending the world of comic has to offer.

korabi says...

Both protoganists started off with a difficult school life due to bullying. A lot of the bullying was because the main character was weak but also because he was "ugly". He becomes handsome later on in the story and also shares the fact that he becomes strong with the main character from Lookism. Both have similar plots but different execution. Dice is a little more heavy and dark, so if you dont like that type of thing I dont recommend it. A better way to describe it is that Dice has a bit of the "Thriller" genre in it. Anyways, to summarize; I love both of these mangas and think both are great. Although not everyone who enjoys Lookism will like Dice, I still think it is worth a shot. Dice is really good, and so is Lookism.

Mintymingi says...

They're both based around people who are "ugly" and bullied who transform their looks in some sort of way.
