I want a manga where there is a girl who is very unpopular or ugly and then she gets a makeover or something and people find out she is actually beautiful. Or even that she has some sort of hidden power or talent. Thanks xx

[m]Wallflower[/m] [m]]Kaichou wa Maid Sama[/m] (not ugly, but unpopular with the boys, only one boy sees how cute she is, hehehe) Kimi ni Todoke (people are afraid of her first, but she's really cute) Nousatsu Junkie (unpopular at first because she smiles like a maniac, but she's really beautiful) Tokyo Crazy Paradise (lives as a boy, but she's beautiful when she dress as a girl) [m]Kare's First Love[/m] Hana Yori Dango Kimi wa Girlfriend Sarashi Asobi
I second Kimi ni Todoke, however, a few notes: -She actually starts popular...in a bad way -She becomes popular in a good way pretty early in the series.
Oh my goodness, this cliche! XD /sigh. My guilty pleasure.
Skip Beat!, of course. Tokyo Crazy Paradise, also. Midnight Secretary is a must-read. Kaya purposefully hides her baby face for the sake of professionalism. Mishounen Produce--I third this. The art is amazing, but the writing is so-so. Ouran Koukou Host Bu--classic. The focus isn't on her looks, though. 1/2 Love!--perfect, but only 2 chapters are out in English. Mairunovich--cliche and not very well written, but the art's good. Somewhat interesting. Dramatic Love Album Shounen Oujo (guy, but he acts as a body double for a princess about to ascend the throne) Watashi ni xx Shinasai!, but she's attractive with or without glasses. She just has a cold gaze, which she grew a complex about. Beauty Pop, but it's not the protagonist that goes through the transformation. Rather, it's the salon's clients.
Love Stage!! also fits since the main character looks like a girl, but is a boy. It's so good, but too bad for you it's yaoi. XDD Same creator of Princess Princess.
