Bitter Black Beans

the way people jump into conclusions about busuhana. it's called 'a bouquet for an ugly girl' because hana herself, has internalised the thought that shes ugly and because of that she thinks shes unworthy of love and empathy. her self esteem is nonexistent and a lot of times she self sabotages because of that combined with her anxiety. it is not a weight loss story, it's not a story about changing herself for her crush, not a body switch, not 'a guy likes her despite her looks', nor does anyone else in the story talk about 'how ugly she is'. it's about an 'unconventional' (whatever that means) girl's journey to self acceptance through love & friendship. it's also very cute & hilarious. 10/10 my favorite kimi ni todoke variant right after skip to loafer
