Helter Skelter by Kyoko Okazaki
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.
Many consider Kyoko Okazaki, who was born on December 13, 1963, to be one of the moms of josei (women's) comics. Okazaki began her career in adult comics in the 1980s, and is known for her minimalist style and willingness to tackle challenging subjects. Okazaki made her debut in Cartoon Burikko, an experimental adult comic anthology aimed mostly at men, while she was a student at Atomi University. Okazaki's focus would eventually shift to women's issues. With a focus on modern young women's difficulties, Okazaki's narratives never shied away from street culture, high fashion, or drug usage.
She'd subsequently move on to her first long-running series, Tokyo Girls Bravo, which was a rare cartoon to be published in a fashion magazine. Okazaki has been out of the public eye since the turn of the century as she heals from a near-fatal automobile accident. Okazaki won the Japan Media Arts Award as well as the Osamu Tezuka Culture Award for her work on Helter Skelter, which was converted into a film in 2012 and is presently showing in the United States.
