Holiday Review: BEAUTY BUNNY

Kodansha has been picking up all sorts of shoujo manga, but most of it is digital only.  I have to wonder whether this because they want to give harder-to-market works a chance to find a fandom or to simply hide titles like this out of shame.

BEAUTY BUNNY, by Mari Yoshino.  First published in 2013 and first published in North America in 2017.

PLOT:

Kohane is a 17-year-old who takes care of her flighty, irresponsible hostess mother while she accomadates to her new high school. Things get off to a bad start when class prince/makeup company scion Iori calls her ugly.  Things only get worse when he gets Kohane out of a scrape with a makeover and he decides to make her his personal pet project.  Kohane never had much interest in makeup and other girly things, but maybe his skills will help her change her mind...
