Synopsis

Chiyuki Fujito is an aspiring model whose dream is to take part in Paris Fashion Week; however, she lacks the proper height to even be considered for the simplest of modeling gigs. Similarly, Ikuto Tsumura is a poor high school student who wants to design clothes, but he has instead decided to skip college and head straight into the workforce to support his family.

When the two cross paths, they come to the conclusion that no matter how difficult it may seem, they will do what they can to achieve their goals and prove that one's circumstances do not determine their course in life. And so begin both of their journeys, destined to meet again on the runway.

Preliminary (64/194 eps)
everybody has their own taste in manga and this is definitely not mine. every single chapter up to 64 is full of drama and the struggle of the main character, it's seem good to some extent but this on is just pure drama. the story is quite complex and hard to predict, at least to me with little interest in fashion. the build up is good, and so is the pacing. we can tell the background story of each character and what is their problem. it's all started with really good story and introduction, but as i read further it become a problem. this manga ...
