Smile Down the Runway

High school student Chiyuki Fujito is determined to become a Paris Fashion Week model despite being told it's impossible because of her height. She finds out her classmate, Ikuto Tsumura, is a talented designer and asks him to design an outfit for her.

Tsumura stands up to President Fujito and earns a shot to work with Hajime Yanagida, an independent designer. They go to Tokyo Fashion Week where Chiyuki gets her chance as a replacement model at a critical moment.

Both Chiyuki and Tsumura are met with unexpected challenges facing the runway. They help each other through the most difficult moments and strengthen their bond.

Toh Ayano and Kokoro Hasegawa, both Geika Fashion School students, join Tsumura to help Yanagida fulfill an important order placed by a client at the exhibition.

Tsumura is set to participate in the Geika Festival fashion show where the winner gets support to launch their own brand and a trip to Paris. The task is to the design for model Sara and Tsumura reaches out to Chiyuki for inspiration.

Tsumura presents his work for the preliminary round as Geika students Kaoru Kizaki and Ryunosuke Eda volunteer themselves to be the judges. Chiyuki plans to go to Paris but struggles to find work and save up for the trip.
