You are sure to love Lookism. It starts with our protagonist Daniel who is bullied because of his looks until he ungergoes a mysterous transformation and finds himself in the body of a more cooler, more handsome person. 

Kozaya 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 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 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.

They both are enjoyable reads, with plot simularities. (Don't know what to add, but I need 100 charecters as a minimum)

NatashaZero16 NatashaZero16 says...

Both are based on the same overall setting and have some similar scenes. Mercenary Enrollment is more familial based and badassery while Weak Hero is school and fighting based. They both have their dark themes, Weak Hero moreso, and are extremely enjoyable.

Study Group

Study Group

Nicknamed the “school for future criminals,” Yusung Technical High School isn’t exactly the ideal place to study. A rarity among his peers, Gamin is a student with just one goal: to get into university. At a school where it’s every man for himself, he is rejected from countless study groups before he decides to form his own. When Hankyeong, Gamin’s former tutor, joins his high school in hopes of earning her teacher certification, it seems like they’re both reaching for the impossible. Can they defeat the odds and achieve their dreams?

Pretty similar. Weak looking guy is stronger than he looks. Both have to keep beating people up to prove their strengths.

HorrorSeries HorrorSeries says...

They both focus on big groups of deliquents.

Both have a mc who may look weak but isn't>

Both are focused on studying even though they go to a school populated with gangsters.

Both end up making a strong group of friends.

agreypastel agreypastel says...

Both MCs are just trying to get along in life and do good in school; the only problems is that they end up in violent schools. Quickly, you find out that they aren't really that weak and can beat everyone up.

FreakyGAL FreakyGAL says...

It's uncanny how similar the two are, both have somewhat shitty adults

both makes it seems like kids run the world

shitty Schools

shitty students who goes to school just to bully

BOth MC are way too similar 

both of them looks weak but in the end they aren't omfg 🙀

Scrawny high school student Hobin Yoo is probably the last guy you’d expect to star in a NewTube channel that revolves around fighting. But after following some advice from a mysterious NewTube channel, Hobin is soon knocking out guys stronger than him and raking in more money than he could have ever dreamed of. Can Hobin keep this up, or will he eventually meet his match?

WEAK HERO - HOW TO FIGHT

how to fight is fairly new so be aware of the chances of it being cancelled however overlooking that THIS IS AMAZING unlike weak hero this story is more of a progression. for a summary its about a lackey named Hobin in a world where fighting and newtube views (the off brand youtube pffft) determine your social standing. Its the story about his way to fame, strength and power kinda like uhhh solo leveling

HOW TO FIGHT - WEAK HERO

Unlike how to fight weak hero is about an underdog the mc (Grey yeon) starts off strong so instead the development is about Gray's character and the progression of those around him. Hobin's goal is pretty much wealth which will probably going to change into something else if the story wants a long run whilst Weak Hero has quite an obvious goal but i can still see the story continuing. That probably doesnt make sense but if you read it youll get what im saying.

imma quickly recommend more so you dont have to look too hard for more :)

-study group 

-leveling up only by eating

-solo leveling

-lookism

It's another action korean manhwa, but not only do both have a way on putting depth into the opponents. there is a prejudice with both male leads for having small bodies, even though they are OP. 

DarwinsGame DarwinsGame says...

Both feature OP main characters that seem pretty unassuming and weak until you fight them. The main difference is probably motivation and power; Gray is strong, but Yu is undeniably stronger, and Gray has a more compelling motivation and backstory.

I love both of these! they are fighting related comics with cool MCs! I would recommend both to anyone; these are close to the top of my list!

AniLo70 AniLo70 says...

I love both of these stories. Both of the Main charecters have 'interesting' back stories, and are amazing reads. They both incluide a lot of graphic violence, but it just makes the whole thing feel more realistic.

Taking the matter into their own hands, the government has created a special school just for these troubled youths. Kang Hae Hyo, a seemingly normal high school student who is bullied frequently, somehow ends up in the school! He's not sure he belongs there, but something him, and his past, may be discovered at this school...

N3glect N3glect says...

Kinda agree but also not. Personally i think Ultimate legend is more intense and revolves completely about violence in different forms.

But Weak hero revolves around a plot with life but people using strength to get an advantage on others.

Both good reads though.
