Boku wa Ikemen

Unassuming and mild-mannered, our protagonist has always blended into the background, content with a quiet existence. But a sudden, inexplicable transformation thrusts him into an entirely new reality: he's become incredibly handsome, an "ikemen" in every sense of the word. This overnight change upends his previously predictable life, forcing him to navigate a world that now perceives him — and treats him — completely differently. What begins as a superficial alteration quickly reveals the unexpected complexities and challenges that come with newfound attractiveness. As he grapples with the attention, expectations, and misunderstandings that arise from his altered appearance, he must also confront his own identity and what it truly means to be seen, both by others and by himself. Will he find genuine connection amidst the clamor, or discover that charm can be a double-edged sword?
