Synopsis

In a boisterous classroom, 15-year-old Aia Udagawa's thoughts are far from the topic at hand. While his classmates select him as a model for the Aoi Festival Artist Contest due to his past modeling experience, Udagawa watches Jun Sumisaki, a tall and awkward girl who seems embarrassed about her unique freckles and impressive height. They are paired as model and stylist—but Udagawa defeatedly mourns his abandoned dream of becoming a makeup artist.

Udagawa has long convinced himself he has no talent, and Sumisaki lacks the confidence to hold her head high and flaunt her stunning features. Even so, Sumisaki proposes that they switch: Udagawa will have all creative freedom, and she will boldly strut the runway like her mother once taught her. Notable figures from the glamor industry will be watching, but it may prove to be the push Udagawa needs to return to the fashion and beauty scene and conquer it alongside his favorite model.

Even if it hasn't focused much on clothing, I think it will later on, cause one of our main characters wanna become a model, nevertheless, what has been shown about fashion is beautiful.

The plot is about two students who, after working together at a school's festival, realize their true aspirations. Aia is ...

Preliminary (11/? eps)
Exceptionally fantastic art with rich colours is the main standout of the manga, and it’s really hard to believe this is the authors first manga (if I’m not mistaken).

Plot is decent if not dragging slightly after the first chapter, but hey it’s only been a few months since it’s started as I’m writing this review.

The romance is refreshing not only because it isn’t the main focus (it’s a lot more focused on their individual lives and dreams) but because Aya and jun are subversive in their masculinity and femininity, but not in the usual femdom style seen in a lot of mangas(no offence ...
