on the Japan LINE Manga top 10 of 2022 is another fave that now has a Netflix animated adaptation: Lookism by Taejun Pak - a teen lives a dual life: a poor, frumpy guy by night, & handsome guy by day who turns his school upside down https://t.co/3STMpuGHHq

the top 3 series on LINE Manga in Japan already offer up some interesting differences between the JP & US readership of webtoons - 2 out of 3 are action/fighting series (seinen/shonen vibes), while hits the US webtoon sweetspot: romance/drama stories.
