Synopsis

SF comedy where accident swaps beauty/ugliness between star and clerk, mocking society's obsession with looks.

"Wet cloth and jewelry" is a medium-volume work based on an unusual setting of SF flavor. In the wake of a traffic accident, the movie star Jewel Yuuki and Magazine's female clerk Kinoko Iwano became a constitution where the beautiful appearance and ugly appearance are swapped each time they hit a car (By the way, the work title expresses this beauty as a metaphor). At that time, Ishiyuki who had been chiyahoya as a beautiful boy star until then turned around and treated poorly from around, and Kinko who became an absurd beauty, did not look for her in the past I will make a boneless bite. This is involved with Ishiyuki's girlfriend and the person whom Kinoko adores · Morning glory penguin (Dororakuronkin), winding up is caused from one to the next, as the story progresses, she is a fake Beautiful "is made to think thoughtfully in the appearance of characters that are to be mocked by" beauty "(Ironically, even though they are getting dirty every day, they do not even know the same person as the unlucky boy and the same person, Kinko transformed into a beautiful woman The morning of the mine that gives thoughts to others ...). Even so, as I change my appearance when I hit a car, I definitely think about what is going on with Tezuka Osamu's idea method because it's pretty crazy. The two protagonists are going to hit a car each time they think they want to change their appearance, but it is a pity that is a matter of characters in manga. In addition, it seems that Osamu Tezuka seems to be a film owner, "A sudden in the summer of last year," "A woman can not keep it," "Ben-Ha", and so forth, old-fashioned titles appear frequently. In addition, the movie shooting scenery in which Jewel's appearance seems to be model per Nikkatsu action movie of the Showa 30 's. If you are familiar with movies, you will find it fun to read while searching casually placed movie stuff in details. by tezukaosamu.net
