People have created certain unattainable standards for their bodies to follow and accomplish as a consequence of the constant admiration and comparison they get from watching the “influencers” online, which is a result of the world and having the most access to information online via social media and the web. People who believe they don’t fit the mold or have certain spiritual high points frequently feel unworthy and perpetually linger in the shadow of poor self-worth or insecurity. People frequently abuse this situation and are bullied, leaving them with permanent wounds.
It is past time for the media to recognize the influence their messages have on the minds of some people, particularly younger viewers. This is what the new manga series, Lookism, and, as of recently, the anime series is attempting to do. Although it isn’t the only one, it does a great job of portraying the situation in its bloodiest, most realistic light so that everyone may understand the genuine horrors of this. Because of its storyline twists and continued adherence to its fundamental purpose, lookism has been around for quite a while and has maintained its popularity.
This ani-manga series centers on a character who is not at all popular and who experiences bullying from his fellow batchmates because of his weight. In addition to this, a local goon is harassing and abusing him. He learns he can swap between two bodies after moving to Seoul.
Both the so-called “unappealing” and obese person and the tall, stunning person fit the stereotype of the deceitful society, respectively. One of the two falls asleep anytime he employs one of them. Throughout the day, he makes use of his handsome physique, while at night, he utilizes the other.
Throughout this time, he notices and learns how well society treats people drastically differently based on their appearance, and as a result, his life is entirely turned upside down. He is a well-known celebrity throughout the day, but when he returns to his normal form at night, he is heartbroken because he realizes that the night is really his true day.
