Pretty Face

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

It's a manga series I've really enjoyed, in spite of the abrupt ending.

Basically... The story's protagonist is Mashashi Rando, a high school student and karate expert who harbors an unconfessed love for his fellow student Kurimi Rina. After being caught in a school bus accident, his face was burned beyond recognition.

Mushashi awakes from a coma one year later to find that he's been in the care of a doctor talented enough to reconstruct his body, and eccentric enough to use the closest thing to identification found on his body as a basis for the face: a photo of Kurimi.

He then finds out that during his year long coma, he was mistakenly pronounced deceased, his parents moved away, and even his house was demolished. While looking for a picture of himself, he runs into Rina, who mistakes Rando for her missing twin sister. After claiming mistaken identity and amnesia, Rando becomes stuck in the Kurimi household as his love's long-lost sibling, Yuna.



It's never, last I knew, been released in English. So import it if you can read Japanese. Or search for the scanslation. S' pretty good, in spite of being somewhat romantic, a genre I don't care for. Let's just say that Rando is a very violent and very immature person.

Interesting. I think i'll give it a shot.

Yes it is a very good manga that I’m just about finished. It has become one of my personal favorites and is one of the funniest Manga I ever read. I fell out of my seat laughing when I saw how Rando fix his classmate scarf. Really people should go and read the scanslation as this is truly a great manga title.

[Rowloman]

This is really great and they should make a sequal about the year and about yuna's return (the real yuna)

Ever since you recommended it in the "Die or Live in the Body of the Opposite Sex" thread, I've been very interested.

And now, since you're devoting a whole thread to it, I must read it.

I'll be reading the scanslations ASAP.

[the_last_icarian]

Ah sounds good. I might check it out.

[Beautiful_Disaster]

Sounds really good,i think i might check it out too...

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

It's good and stuff... Nothing deep, but quality storyline and very good art. The storyline, like I said, gets very rushed near the end.

[Gjallarhorn]

I've read the first 3 chapters, but since I am bogged down with other series at the moment, I shall wait for one to finish up before continuing with Pretty Face. It was good from what I read.

I must thank you for the recomendation...it's a very unique concept for a story, and I enjoyed the first chapter quite a bit. An abrupt ending you say? Darn. Oh well, I won't spoil it for myself. Onward to the next chapter!
