This manga does such a good job at balancing more 'SoL' type chapters, as well as action chapters. I feel like it would be very easy to lean too much one way or the other, which would be to its detriment.

This is insane lmfao

The president is a straight-man type (assassin) with fully logical and even moral sensibilities.
Marie is a normal woman (assassin) who uses her femininity to her advantage.

But the premise they've found themselves forces the prez to be framed as a tsundere while Marie is painted as a creep, and they're coming at each other from polar opposite directions and reasons. That ironic comedy mixed with absurdism is what makes this author my favorite in the business.

If the twist is that Maria and Megumi are actually half-sisters and that their dad is some American womanizer, I'm gonna lose my shit.

The Cult of Megumarie has begun. In all three years time it will have taken over the entire globe. In forty more years when she dies, (to food poisoning) the world will be plunged into chaos and everything shall end as it began.

Talking about that, I've recently finished My Life As a Loser, from the author of Lookism, and I believe it's far better than Lookism exactly because of what you've written. When Lookism is now full of fight and lost a bit of what made it unique, on the other hand My Life As a Loser is more balanced. And it's pretty short too (around 50 chapters).

The prez is sharp, he already got some correct ideas of the situation.

And, for some reason I can see the prez ended up in J's body in the future since we might be in for more body roulette ahead of us (and how hilarious that would be!).
