About the Manga
The story follows Aia, who was told she was born to be a model, and Jun, who was bullied over her freckles. The two join forces to reclaim the power to define themselves in an inspirational fashion story that poses hard questions about beauty and the struggle against a system that prizes natural talent over hard work.
Sonoyama launched the manga in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge in 2022, and it currently runs in Monthly Shonen Sirius. The ninth volume was released on October 8, with the series surpassing 1.25 million copies in circulation. Kodansha USA Publishing released the seventh English volume on February 10 and also distributes the manga digitally via its K MANGA service.
In addition to the anime, a live-action series based on the manga is in the works, set to stream exclusively worldwide on Amazon Prime Video in spring 2027.
