4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
If you are aware of fashion in Japan you must have seen Liliko's face. For the last few years she has been at the top of the modeling world, with her face and body promoting the biggest brands. But as everyone who is in this world admits, staying on top is a constant and never ending battle. There are always new faces introduced to the public. Younger models and new looks are brought into the fold every season. And keeping that position means learning to adapt and learning to cope with change. To maintain her position Liliko has decided to under the knife. This is not her first go with this service. It is yet another round of plastic surgery, all done to keep herself looking young and vibrant. However in this case just a little nip and tuck was not enough. Liliko is bent on undergoing a full body makeover. From head-to-toe, every inch of her will undergo cosmetic surgery, and thus begins her madness.

#Top10oftheYear #2018 Count down: #10.
Starting off with a surprising one. Surprising in how much I loved this, and how it turned out to be a horror story. Okazaki‘s illustrative style works well with the unsettling narrative she‘s crafted. If you‘re looking for a manga title that does psychological horror well, here‘s my suggestion.

I would easily recommend this one to anyone who enjoys a dark read. Its quite the ride to see Liliko slowly fall apart (in more ways than one).

Helter Skelter is fascinating, thrilling, and dark. I loved Liliko's nasty ambition. Her motives made sense. Her actions aligned with her morals. While no one was very likable, every character was interesting. The story was well paced with a narrative that kept me hooked. The illustrations are loose and stark, which works well with the type of story Okazaki has created. Recommended!
