Smile Down the Runway

## in short This story's theme is making [b]REVOLUTION[/b], I suppose. It describes that hero and heroine make dreams come true throughout any burden. so protagonists is not only one but both two Ikuto and Chiyuki. ## why I highly recommend To be honest, I think it as just romance-comedy at first. However in fact, it is not just romance-comedy at all but also super ambitious and worth reading with insight of art. you can see barely love scenes but many hot scenes in this work. I seriously think this work as my masterpiece that's why I put it 10 score.## what is this In the first place, each dreams Ikuto and Chiyuki have was desperate. because the home environment in which Ikuto lives was so bad. he was poor man and had to live in too small home with his three sisters and mom. so we think he could not afford to do his best to make cloths. While in case of Chiyuki, unfortunately her height finally stop growing by 159cm. It is too small height to make it to run the runway in Paris. There are quite harsh precises but they overcome them! They meet all kinds of people and face various obstacles in the process of making dreams come true but they grow and overwhelm real problems by putting their tons of efforts every scene. There are various people they meet (e.g. senpai, kouhai, gifted person, hard worker, industrial boss, fashion professionals) Ikuto and Chiyuki learn a lot and grow so fast by being involved them. There are many hard things than happiness thing. However this story is so beautiful due to going through such hard things. ## where are great points 1. Extremely beautiful art and massive passion of art this author has Art in this work is extremely beautiful because this author graduated from the design school. You will see some artistic scenes without dialogues like painting. For real, art level in this work is quite high just because of the subject matter of art. You would have a fun just to see this art work. Therefore women drown by this author looks like goddess 2. Ambitious and active characters Main protagonists are pretty ambitious and active. Would you normally think the ordinal high school student will be able to become designer who is famous all over the world? Of course not. But Ikuto make it Also, would you think person whose height is only 159cm will be able to fashion model who appears the runway in Paris? Absolutely not. But Chiyuki make it too. There are a bunch of obstacles that interfere them. However the more obstacles are the more story gets exciting and beautiful. ## who is recommended - who likes genre of [b]spokon[/b] - who wants to see beautiful arts thanks for reading. I hope this work will be great for you.

This is one of the most interesting manga I've read in a very long time. I never got interested in the fashion industry until the day I started to read this story. I can tell for sure that the author did an excellent job. Not only the setting and the art style were on point, but also the characters. Every single character in the series was written amazingly and I enjoyed very much the way their interactions and conversations have a meaning in the overall story. Here are some of the best thing this manga has to offer! (in my opinion) - Main characters' relationship as well astheir individual development were great! - The setting regarding fashion industry was deeply portrayed and well executed - The drama element was perfectly balanced. Not too tense but not too slow or too relaxed - The art style is great, even the scenes of the runway when in contrast to the real world you would have music, lights and other aspects, this manga conveys the moment in a way that makes you heart ̶g̶o̶ ̶d̶o̶k̶i̶d̶o̶k̶i̶ feel like at a race! - The MC not a dumb kid with dumb dreams, or a dense mf who cannot decide or pick what they want (this is actually really important for me to enjoy a manga) On the other side, I found just a few things that I didn't enjoy - Unfortunately, the ending was rushed. You can tell when you are in the last 2 volumes for sure - The romance aspect lacks importance but later on, recovers it, just to be ditched again. don't get me wrong, It was good , but I thing it was kind of inconsistent - The story features a lot of interesting characters but some of them lose they place as the story progresses - Finally, The girl I liked did not win (jk) Overall, I had a lot of fun reading this. I would recommend If you'd like a slice of life/drama focused of something that you are not familiar with, or in the opposite side, if you enjoy fashion. I would love to see a full anime adaption of this story or maybe an extra chapter to see what happened after the end of the story!

If you're into fashion, this is for you. If you're into solid character growth, this is for you. If you're into working/skill/real world profession based and/or slice of life stuff this is for you. If you're into stereotypical shojo high school romance stuff look elsewhere. I loved the anime, bought the manga and have really enjoyed reading it through. I've got no love for the fashion industry, but i thoroughly enjoyed the characters progression and the overall story. I even found myself becoming fascinated by the industry. If you enjoyed the anime give this a shot, it really is worth the time in my opinion.
