Battle of the Gingers Wave 1 Preliminary Round #6

Whoever gets the most votes moves onto the next wave

[izzythehutt]

I just remembered the existence of Beauty Pop, an enemies-to-lovers shoujo manga about competitive hairstylists.

ROUND 1A, MATCH 7 OUT OF 16!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Koshiba Kiri:

I haven't read this manga in so long but she's the main character and is an amazing hairstylist. In most chapters she's yawning or napping in school and trying to ignore the plot happening around her, but she always steps up when she needs to. And afterwards finds a nice place for a nap.

Yuuya Amane:

A constantly sleepy 24-year-old man with a strong penchant for housework. If it wasn't for the needs of his adorable miniature catfolk pets he probably wouldn't get much done st all.

Honestly I think Sanji would do perfect in a manga like Beauty Pop

Beauty Pop

10 volumes

Licensed by Viz Media, but out of print

Although a truly gifted hairstylist, Kiri Koshiba has no interest in using her talent to pursue fame and fortune, unlike the three popular boys in the "Scissors Project" at school. Determined to become the best makeover team in Japan, they give showy makeovers to handpicked girls. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the Scissors Project spotlight, she finds herself responding to beauty's call...

Status in Country of Origin 

10 Volumes (Complete)

Note: Beauty Pop Stage 2 is from volume 7 to 10. It is a continuation of Beauty Pop. This is because they were published after the hiatus. The whole series ends with 10 volumes.

Beauty Pop 10

[flightfoot]

The manga series Beauty Pop is just the Enemies AU but with hair instead of bread.

It doesn't really sound like it? And are you referring to the Bakery Enemies AU specifically?

BEAUTY POP ON VIZ MANGA!

What I read in December 2023

Not the most exciting book, but not bad.

Well, it was pretty fun...still has that boylove manga problem of not enough proper consent for me to be totally happy with it.

I love this series. ^_^ Kiri is my kind of main character

Found a bind-up of these four at Ollies and gave them a read.
