MONDAY MUSTS

Today's Monday Musts is early, because I have nothing to do right now. Today's Monday Must is a manga!! Well, I have lots of recommended stuff, must we'll start with something simple. This one's obvious: B.P!! It actually stands for Beauty Pop. Not as lame as it sounds, though! Drawn and written by Kiyoko Arai. It's about a girl and three boys. Kiri Koshiba (the girl in the picture above), Shogo Narumi, Kei and Occhai. Narumi, Kei and Occhai have opened a club in their high school called the Scissors Project, or SP. And they have showy performances, transforming girls into totally pretty people. Although Kiri, who has amazing haircutting skills, who can even surpass Narumi's (he's the son of a really famous owner of the Salon De Narumi and aims to be the top beautician in Japan), doesn't want the fame and fortune, she makes an appearance in a haircutting battle and beats Narumi at his game. She is then known as 'X'. When Narumi discovers Kiri's skill, he is completely dumbstruck and is determind to beat her. Then, they meet Osawa, who claims to be the best beautician in Japan, even though Kiri can defeat him. Kiri's Dad, Seiji Koshiba, was the haircutting champian, but stepped out of the lime-light when he got married. He can do the three famous haircuts (The Wizard Cut, The Corkscrew... and then something I don't remember) that only the most professional beauticians can do even when he's drunk!! Kiri learns these cuts and surprises Narumi's Dad's 'Servant' Billy, a famous Hollywood breautician. Narumi's dad plans on closing down the SP, and Narumi is then determind to defeat him instead of Kiri. Kiri and the SP join forces along with the awesome massager (I think he is :P) Seki and the very good aroma-therapist, Iori, and enters a haircutting tournament to prove to Narumi's Dad they are the best. Suddenly, a new team, Team Phoenix, who has exeptional cutting skills, appears and is close to defeating the SP team. Oh yeah, you can find it in Kinokunya, I think you can't get number 1 and 3 that easily... so...
