JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Vol. 38 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

Yukako’s attempt to win Koichi’s heart via the Stand Cinderella hits a terrifying wall when she violates the maintenance rules set by Aya Tsuji. As her face begins to slide off and her fingers disintegrate, she realizes the price of her vanity. She frantically hides from Koichi, terrified that he will see her true, monstrous state. The situation escalates when she resorts to stealing features from others, causing the Stand to spin out of control. Just as Yukako is about to lose her face entirely, Koichi steps in. Despite the carnage, he refuses to abandon her, choosing to accept her flaws rather than a fabricated version of her. His profound display of devotion pierces through the curse, halting the transformation. It is a harrowing reminder that true connection cannot be forged through surface-level manipulation. The ordeal leaves Yukako forever changed, having learned that love requires acceptance of the ugly truth rather than a hollow, stolen mask of perfection.
