Chiyuki Fujito has a dream: to become a Paris Collection model. The problem is, she's too short to be a model, and everyone around her tells her so! But no matter what they say, she won't give up. Her classmate, a poor student named Ikuto Tsumura, also has a dream: to become a fashion designer. One day Chiyuki tells him that it's "probably impossible" for him, causing him to consider giving it up...?! This is the story of two individuals wholeheartedly chasing after their dreams in spite of all the negativity that comes after them!

A mediocre anime and a failure of an adaptation. If you enjoyed it, read the manga. It only goes up from here.

This anime is basically My Hero Academia, but with models, and honestly, I'm 100% on board with that.
