In another journal i am hopig to be able to post up some images showing manga previews, so watch out for them!

Here's an intro to the manga given by the author...

It's a world where everyone wears masks. It doesn't matter what size or shape as long as it covers around the eyes. A person starts wearing it at a young age (and age where they begin to develop their looks) and usually the designs on the mask represent the person (they can come in all shapes and sizes).

This had all began because the world was becoming too shallow. People were no longer being judged of who they were, just how they looked (as in today's society). Thus a "revolution" (i guess you can call it that) began. It became law to wear masks and at that time, it had to cover their entire face. However, over a couple of years, leaders/rulers changed and this law wasn't enforced so strictly. They began to wear these masks as they were clothes; masks of different fashions came out and they became smaller. Of course this only led to people no longer judging people by their face but by their masks (how beautiful are the designs? how well made?)

As more time passed, more things changed and soon stunningly beautiful masks were being sold at high prices. Only the rich could afford these of course leaving the less fortunate to buy less expensive masks which were much plainer.

This lead to the misconception that only the rich are beautiful.

And now we come to the story of Matt. Adam and Damien (Matt being the main character)
This manga is pretty much a love triangle between these three boys (yes it's shounen-ai, sorry to those who are bothered by it)
{but there are other types of romances featured here such as yuri and hetero, just no furries, sorry}

a quick summary would be:
Adam likes Damien who is one of the richest guys in school (with also one of the most stunningly beautiful masks) who is also best friends with Matt who thinks Damien is a fool but still cares much for his friend and wants the best for him therefore when Damien complains about not having one to love, Matt seeks out Adam who at first denies liking Damien but then accepts Matt's help to hook Adam up with Damien.

Oh and one big thing: Someone can't show their face to anyone but the one they think is their soul mate (whom they are madly in love with). So imagine the craziness that'll ensue.

(also, people that have beautiful masks don't necessarily have beautiful faces...)
