Manriki

In a world obsessed with beauty, a woman with a strikingly unremarkable face is outcast and ridiculed. Driven to despair, she undergoes a radical transformation. This journey propels her into a bizarre and violent world of fashion, music, and revenge, where appearances are everything and true ugliness lies beneath the surface.
