More general 'increased beauty'

Beauty Game

For anyone curious, the main "process" parts in Beauty Game are in the first ~10 chapters. There is a significant 'change' later in the series as well, but there is a lot of other stuff to weed through and they don't focus on it as much / in as interesting of a way in my opinion. There's a new volume coming, though, so whose to say what will happen there.

Kiss X Death alludes to transformation, but as far as I could see (I didn't read it thoroughly, but I scanned ahead) it never follows through on showing anything except a before and after, and a reversion that they allude to doesn't seem to ever happen.

Lookism has a female counterpart to the main character who appears in Chapter 59. Up until then, its all focussed on the male character, with a much wider focus on drama, fights and social intrigue. It gets very dark at times.

I've edited these out of Lookism.

Also, apparently there's a copy-cat series to Beauty Game called Plastic Surgery:Beauty APP that has slightly better artstyle.

Was really enjoyable, wished it had more varied process like Beauty Game did early on, but like Beauty Game it stuck to simpler two-form changes. Still great, thanks for sharing.

Couple of parts with weak or OK IB (though not what I'd call process) in a similar Manga called Dice.

Bunch of girls in the school become pretty when the Dice spread (Chapter 20) very weak imo, doesn't even show before forms:

One girl in particular who is featured heavily used the dice to become more beautiful / lose weight (Chapters 39 and 53 are good instances of IB before and after)

Not great but new-to-me content is rare these days so I figured I'd share.

EDIT: Another one also not great but, as above, content is rare, so here I share...

EDIT2: Another one that was new to me, short but solid, still not really any process though:

Thanks for those. Going to check out Brand New School day, hadn't found that.

Found this one, My ID is Gangnam Beauty. IB via plastic surgery, but not bad.

https://manganelo.com/chapter/my_id_...ty/chapter_1.1

Also its untranslated, but another IB via plastic surgery (it seems) in Kimi kireina ahiru noko. I tried attaching the raws for Vol 1, havent downloaded Vol 2 yet to see if there is more IB or not, but it didn't work, so ill throw up a couple of relevant samples. Frankly, the last 40 or so pages without translation left me a little confused...in one way it seemed like the character undertook changes (thus IB) but then that character in their original form seems to reappear later? No translation so...not sure.

EDIT: Looked at Vol 2, no more IB.

Ah, too bad about the webtoon series dying...dead since 2017, shame

EDIT: I discovered some scenes were missing from one of the IB chapters of Beauty Game on mangakakalot. The part of the story where she increases in bust was just...cut from the mangakakalot upload. Felt super weird that she didn't notice the change, but that's because she did and they just removed it on mangakakalot for some reason...

This site has the full chapter, for those interest in a little BE : https://mangarock.com/manga/mrs-seri...pter-100286035

An interesting spin, thanks for sharing.

Korean drama about an overweight webtoon artist who finds a magic coffee shop run by a God. The shop provides magic coffee that make her slim and more attractive.

Transformation is instant and temporary. Kind of like a Korean La mujer en el espejo.

The fact that you said Mujer en el espejo peaked my curiosity lol
