From Mitsukazu Mihara comes a unique collection of poignant stories that examines our innermost fears and desires, and ruminates on the power that love and loss has on our collective consciousness.In this anthology, a young boy tries to grant the ultimate wish to a magical snow princess; two strangers struggle to survive an apocalyptic world--and each other; the lonely victim of a bully takes solace in the world of the Internet; and a woman who has had extensive cosmetic surgery learns the frightening truth about what real beauty is.With an extraordinary blend of magic and realism, the raw emotions and tragic irony filled in Beautiful People will lure you with their charm, and leave you haunted long after the last page is turned.

Beautiful Stories,

This review is from: Beautiful People (Mitsukazu Mihara) (Paperback)
This is a beautiful book of short stories from Mitsukazu Mihara. If you liked the more sad and twisted stories from her Doll series, you will love these. The stories are about so many different people in so many different situations: A snow girl, a vampire, two homosexuals, a stalker, a bullied young teen, and a plastic surgery patient. The book features six stories. My favorite are the last two (about the surgery patient and the vampire) and the first one (about the snow girl) because they are haunting and beautifully written. Very poetic and, as always, wonderfully drawn. The other three were on the higher end of mediocrity, but they were still mediocre and although they made a good read, they didn't jump out at me. The worse one was probably the bullied teenage boy story. Not very interesting at all. Really, this book deserves 4.5 stars. Too bad I don't round up!
Highly recommend it if you enjoyed the 1st and 3rd volumes of Doll. Can't get enough of those Loli-goth characters!

This review is from: Beautiful People (Mitsukazu Mihara) (Paperback)
this manga is pretty good, expecially the adam and eve story.
but it's nowhere near as interesting as doll or as sadly thought provoking as the embalmer. it's a so-so collection only for big fans... the artwork isn't lacking, but the story isn't very good.
5.0 out of 5 stars

I really love this manga and think it should be included in every manga collection. The art is beautiful and the story telling in amazing it is really worth the money spent.
