Official synopsis Publisher
They said Aia was destined to be a model, and Jun was bullied for her freckles. Together, they will take back the power to define themselves in an inspirational fashion manga that asks cutting questions about what it really means to be beautiful–and what it takes to overcome an arbitrary system that seems to respect talent over hard work.
No path to stardom is without bumps and rough patches. Just when Aia and Jun begin to make headways towards their dreams, they find themselves lost in their journeys. Luckily, the two friends are committed to supporting each other unconditionally at every step.
Under the tutelage of the best professional makeup artists, the pressure is on Aia as his every move is scrutinized by faculty and fellow students. When the instructors at MIRROR propose a challenge with a highly coveted career-making prize, friendly rivalry turns into cutthroat competition. Aia focuses on his own vision, avoiding the toxic environment around him. However, jealousy is impossible to ignore when the celebrity makeup artist Daiya is playing favorites. Can Aia and Jun’s loyalty survive Daiya’s mind games?
