Book reads from right to left in the traditional Japanese format.
Teen karate star Rando awakens after a year in a coma to find that a plastic surgeon, Dr. Manabe, who had no idea what Rando looked like, has reconstructed him in the image of his crush Rina, whose picture he had in his pocket. Then, Rando is mistaken for Rina's long-lost twin sister and adopted into her family, and is forced to play the role or be exposed as a weirdo.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Great submitted by Tee Chuan on July 4, 2012, 9:46pm Pretty Face redefines gender in a whole new way. Plus, it's really hilarious. Don't read if you're innocent, though.
Switching Genders?!?! submitted by gxl on August 1, 2012, 8:03am What if one day you had to switch genders? That is exactly what happened to Rando, after an accident he had plastic surgery and when he woke up he had the face of Rina aka the girl he likes. Rando is mistaken to be Rina's long lost sister, Yuna, and moves in with them. What will happen next? This series is sure to make you laugh out loud! :)
