About the Manga
Bless is an inspirational fashion manga that follows Aia, a girl told she was born to be a model, and Jun, who was bullied over her freckles. Together, the two reclaim the power to define themselves on their own terms, challenging a system that seems to prize 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 series has surpassed 1.25 million copies in circulation. The ninth compiled volume is due out on October 8.
Kodansha USA Publishing released the seventh English-language volume on February 10, with the series also available digitally via the K MANGA service. Additionally, a live-action adaptation is in the works, set to stream exclusively worldwide on Amazon Prime Video in spring 2027.
