Where it came from
Kasane was serialized in Kodansha's Evening magazine between 2013 and 2018, marking the debut work of mangaka Matsuura Daruma. The series follows a young girl named Kasane who inherits a mysterious lipstick from her late mother, a legendary actress, which allows her to steal the face of anyone she kisses. The narrative functions as a dark psychological drama, exploring themes of beauty, artistic obsession, and the cruelty of the entertainment industry.
Matsuura Daruma utilized a stark, detailed art style to emphasize the grotesque and transformative nature of the central conceit. The series was designed to evoke the tension of a stage play, drawing inspiration from classical tragedy and the psychological weight of performance. It received critical acclaim for its mature storytelling and unconventional protagonist, eventually winning the 39th Kodansha Manga Award in the general category and inspiring a 2018 live-action film adaptation.
