Pretty Face: Difference between revisions

Masashi Randoh is short, loud, arrogant, captain of the karate club, winner of the national karate championship, and possessor of nearly monster-like strength. On his way back from the Hokkaido Karate Tournament, he is involved in a fiery bus crash, which leaves him in a coma. A year later, he wakes up to find himself still alive, but with a completely reconstructed face, since the crash burnt off most of the original.

 

 

----

* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Inflicted by Randoh on Dr. Manabe with regularity.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Even though only Rando's face was changed by the surgery, he is way too cute for a guy...

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: '''Randoh'''. The most notable example occurs during one of Rina's flashbacks where he rips a ''street sign out of the cement ground and uses it to break open a section of concrete slab to rescue a trapped dog...'' Then he [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|got arrested]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|for destroying public property.]]

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Randoh wasn't one before his accident, but during his year long coma his body thinned out, giving him the appearance of a petite high school girl. His physical prowess seems negligibly effected.

* [[Downer Ending]]: An alternate ending reveals that the entire manga was Randoh's [[Dying Dream]], but thankfully, the real ending is much brighter.

** In fact, the [[Downer Ending]] ''parodies itself'' - Manabe gets kicked in the face again while Randoh yells at him for making it too [[Grimdark]].

* [[Love Triangle]]: Randoh, Rina, and then Nozomi. Then Natsuo. Then Nozomi comes back...

* [[Love At First Punch]]: ''Everyone'' in the Karate club falls for "Yuna" and makes a cult following for her after Randoh beats them all up in the first chapter.

* [[Mad Doctor]]: Dr. Manabe is utterly insane.

* [[Magic Plastic Surgery]]: Thankfully, the author didn't [[You Fail Biology Forever|fail biology]] and pointed out the dangers of multiple facial surgeries.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Thankfully, ''none'' from Randoh. (You would have gotten one in a cut chapter.) Natsuo, on the other hand, has the accidental panty shot as her curse in life.

* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Nozomi would go to great lengths to get Randoh (as Yuna) into her bed.

* [[Running Gag]]: Doc Manabe going off about performing a full sex-change operation on Randoh, often as a threat or fantasy, followed by him getting kicked.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Nozomi is unflinching about her affection towards Randoh/Yuna (and later, Natsuo; she calls both "[[Onee-Sama]]", too), even when confronted about its abnormality by other students. Also, Keiko [[Does Not Like Men]], but even she's creeped out by Nozomi.

* [[Shout-Out]] - To [[Galaxy Express 999]] in a short joke, and [[The Ring]], in the form of the [[Scary Stalker]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|stalking]] Manabe.

** The gang members that keep following "Yuna" around are nicknamed [[The Three Stooges]]. (In the translation, at least. It may be a shoutout to [[Love Hina]].)

* [[Secret Test of Character]]: {{spoiler|The real Yuna}} gives Randoh a particularly tough one: {{spoiler|to prove he loved Rina, he had to agree to be have his face changed back to Yuna's ''irreversibly'' to comfort Rina while the real Yuna goes to school (as it turns out, it ''is'' reversible as it was never changed back in the first place)}}.

* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: The whole series, but Chapter 7 is the worst, especially when one of the earlier pages of said chapter is a loving shot of a shirtless Randoh with his first set of fake breasts on, which are also much larger than his later ones.

* [[Tsundere]]: Randoh as Yuna (much of the hate directed at people getting too close to Rina, and... Manabe, of course), and later, Yukie.
