Chicks before dicks?!?.....Sorry..

Wow, now THAT'S a twist. Who knew

Mm... I'm getting the distinct impression Maru is not exactly a nice girl.

I love how the friendship problem doesn't involve love triangle. I don't like mc at first but now i love watching her grow

I'm finding this new subplot a little stressful, but at the same time I kind of like that it involves a different dimension of life from romance and brings her friends forward.

It's another one of those vaguely-neotenous beauty conventions that get rather creepy if you think about it too much. It's like having no hair on your arms and legs, or making your eyes seem bigger, or your cheekbones look higher - traits that are commonly thought of as attractive and feminine, and coincidentally happen to describe most children. So eyebrows, which tend to grow thicker and darker during puberty, are by random chance and definitely nothing else thought of as more beautiful when they're shaped to look thinner and more delicate. The fact that these inexplicably adolescent beauty guidelines are mostly applied to women, while assumptions about attractive masculine traits tend to include lots of features that develop after puberty, as adults, is also a great mystery that bears no implications and can never be explained.

The boyish girl/child look is idealized by other women and gay men, not straight men. Most straight men really love fat asses, big breasts and thick thighs, all things that happen to women after puberty. I think it's important to note that a lot of these beauty tips, like the ones in the magazine the main character read, are written by women for other women without much regards or input from men. It's why the female cast of the comic noticed her changes versus the male characters (who are non existent or have been shown to say nothing).

OK, I for one have never understood what's supposed to be so great about making your eyebrows tiny.  Like, some beauty things I understand why it looks better to do whatever but I feel like too much effort is put in . . . but the eyebrows thing I don't even get why "after" is supposed to be better than "before" at all.

 Ever seen someone with badly drawn/plucked eyebrows who looks perpetually surprised or angry? They frame your eyes and cleaning up the bottoms can give you a more wide eyed and awake look, or making them thinner and lower can make you look more serious or sultry.It's also one of the easiest ways to start getting into makeup without having a lot of tools or makeup. 

yes indeed, eyebrow can be part of your "characteristic" appearance (even though some of them are contrast with their own 'characteristic') and at some (probably most) women's completely erase their eyebrow for reason.
for me as an (your average) artist, eyebrow is the easiest way to express someone emotion, feeling and characteristic (obviously)

Huh, is it just me, or was the first chapter taken from Chinese raws or something?

Huh, then again, it seems that there's some hiragana mixed in here and there as well.

I'm going to guess it's a scanlation using Chinese scanlations then?

well i was kinda put off by the obsession delusion thing but idk it seems to be getting better. i like the male lead a lot ^^

Teen Girl Squad !

Hmm ... kinda like this one. Followed.

Holy moly, the "Everything is going perfectly.... too perfectly" meter is going off the charts!! We need to get rid of this excessive foreboding before the place blows!!!!

Yuri flag raised?!

Lol just kidding, won't be happening in a shoujo manga like this. But hmm, the friend felt left out? The drama is coming.

You go girlfriend!

 

The only problem I have with her is that she's a little too boy crazed.....

Which is pretty common amongst teenagers

Yo that male lead's a cool guy. Like, a genuinely likable dude, which doesn't happen in a lot of shoujo.

Well, the newest chapter showed so much more about the guys personality. Before, he was just, 'meh' to me, but now he's an 'oh'. I hope he becomes an adjective soon. 

She prob gonna see blondie sabotaging or something.
