Animes like Lookism or Oemojisangjuui are seldom made. It is the story of a high school student named Park Hyung Suk, who is constantly subjected to ill-treatment, violence, and bullying by his peers. They make fun of his weight and fuel his insecurities. He wishes to simply not exist anymore. He changes schools to live a new life and get away from everything that has wronged him.
His life changes drastically when he wakes up with a tall and young athletic body. He soon comes to terms with the fact that he has control over two bodies now, one is his old one, and the other is this new one. One falls asleep, and another wakes up. He enters the new school as a tall and handsome person but soon realizes that being popular in school is not so worth it either.
Girls fight with each other for him, only wanting him for his body and looks, never trying to know who he is. School delinquents try to fight with him because they are envious of him. His life becomes troublesome in yet another way. The anime is all about his struggle to maintain a balance between these two bodies while also living a challenging life.
As I said, supernatural animes like these are seldom made. Not each anime shares all the elements of this one. But if you are looking for animes along the same genres and almost the same plots, here is a list of 40 Anime like Lookism that you will not only enjoy but will recommend further as well.
