In a noisy classroom, 15-year-old Aia Udagawa’s mind is elsewhere. His classmates choose him as a model for the Aoi Festival Artist Contest because of his previous modeling work, but Udagawa watches Jun Sumisaki, a tall, awkward girl who appears self-conscious about her distinctive freckles and striking height. They are assigned as model and stylist—yet Udagawa bitterly laments his abandoned dream of becoming a makeup artist. Udagawa has long told himself he lacks talent, and Sumisaki lacks the confidence to hold her head high and show off her beautiful features. Still, Sumisaki suggests they switch roles: Udagawa will have complete creative control, and she will confidently walk the runway as her mother once taught her. Prominent figures from the glamour industry will be present, but this might be the boost Udagawa needs to re-enter the fashion and beauty world and dominate it alongside his favorite model.
