This volume will appeal to readers who enjoy contemporary fiction exploring themes of identity, social pressure, and the contrast between appearance and true talent, especially fans of character-driven stories set in artistic school environments.
Ryouran High School is a private arts academy full of geniuses in every field--music, dance, fashion--but because it is looks, not talent, that decide its students' success, it is a surprise that shut-in Shika Ikebukuro is actually internet sensation VSINGER.

Description
Ryouran High School is a private arts academy full of geniuses in every field—music, dance, fashion. But in reality, it's looks, not talent, that decide its students' success.
My sister, Shika Ikebukuro, is a shut-in who can't do anything without her older brother, and I was sure that devastating lack of charisma would doom her. But I know a secret. Behind her mask, the internet sensation VSINGER is none other than my sister Shika!
Her voice is one-of-a-kind, but will it be enough to overcome Ryouran High's entire social order?
Looks Are All You Need, Vol. 1 by Ghost Mikawa, Evie Lund, and Necomi Necomi explores this intriguing journey at an academy where appearances hold the key to success.
