Perfect Girl Evolution Review

So I just watched pretty much the full run of Perfect Girl Evolution, and I have to say... I think I'm in love. I mean this is an anime with: Horror references, crossdressing pretty boys, a makeover, and really amazing art (when they're not taking the shitty animation route)

The plot centers around Sunako Nakahara a gore obsessed and atypical young woman who believes herself to be hideously ugly, but in typical ugly duckling story fashion, she is in fact stunningly beautiful. Her eccentric ways are threatened when her bonvivant aunt makes a bet with four jawdroppingly pretty boys over whether or not they can turn the morbid Sunako into a proper lady.

Sunako Post-Makeover:


Sunako's unusual behavior is linked to an incident in high school during which she confessed her love to a young man and he rejected her as "ugly" after said incident she simply stopped trying.

Eventually, Sunako develops a love interest with one of the boys (Kyouhei) despite that looking directly at him gives her a nose bleed. I won't give you anymore spoilers, but I will highly suggest you pick up a copy here.
