Interesting manga. I would read it once it gets an English translation.

If the childhood friend was the faceless character, she would be topless even if she had all her clothes on.

Technically, he's not just missing his face, his entire head is invisible.

So would that make him the Son of the Invisible Man? Wink

It is translated. I read the first chapter and it was…odd.

Given that the book was written almost 120 years, more like the great- or great-great grandson.

I was wondering about that, if he simply had a blank face like The Question, or if it's like the illustration shows and you can't see his head at all. Can he still speak?

If this gets turned into an anime, someone can make a great AMV with a very literal interpretation of The Weeknd's "I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it"

...Couldn't resist that one!

On the face of it, this premise reminded me of the character of Tooru from My Hero Academia.

Not that I am trying to deface this manga's claim to originality though...

If it got an anime then an English dub, Mutō's VA wouldn't have to worry about matching the lip flaps because there's no visible face. With that, they could get a recording session done quicker.
