| Somehow, this had the best 1st episode of the season(of the ones I've watched, anyway). Is the season that bad, or was this one just that good? Really, I couldn't give a rat's ass about runway modeling and fashion design. Chiyuki and Ikuto are so great, despite that. Instantly connected to the two of them. |
| I definitely have expectations about this anime since I didn't read the manga and the first episode was pretty good. |
 |
| I thought this was really good. I wasn't really interested in it at first but decided to take a look as I had some free time available and was quite blown away by the story so far. I am definitely going to continue to watch this. |

| That was so fucking hype and amazing. |
 |
| I love this as a premise, and im glad its being executed greatly. A shonen about fashion seems like it will hold alot of potential, this is one of my favorites this season! |
| I've never been this personally attacked by an anime before. I also stopped growing at 158cm. I admire Chiyuki for still pursuing her dream despite this unfair limitation. |
 |
| Dam that was one of the strongest openning episodes to a series Ive ever seen. Love this series already. Its got such a unique premise which I havent seen before so I cant wait to watch more. Its nice to see more and more anime have english songs in them and that background beat was nice. But dam this is such a good series already. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Ah, I was convinced I had recently heard Ikuto's voice : Tanjiro from Kimetsu no Yaiba ! He and Fujito form a good duo, the sort of 'not-fit for this role' buddies. Well they'll surely make their way through but for now I just desire to see their journey in the model/fashion world. |
 |
| I haven't watch an anime drama for years now and I still don't honestly feel like watching something like that but I accidentally just click this episode as it pop out from my YouTube's recommendations and..... The story settings is simply just outside of my interest, I mean I have never even watch a fashion show wholeheartedly before but I think this episode really did make a good job of storytelling. I was hooked, lined and sinked to it, I'll probably stick to this till the end. |
 |
| It seems that I am the only one that saw a Jojo reference at 3:25 |
 |
| Intriguing, a story told from two perspective. It definitely has potential. Both Ikuto and Chiyuki have insurmountable hurdles to pass. Chiyuki's audition was sublime. A one percent chance... |
| as fashion is my passion, i was exceedingly excited for this show. so far i really enjoyed the anime and somehow didn't pay attention to the few flaws it has. the episode seemed super rushed and it's a bit confusing how fast these two protagonists got their dream jobs. but maybe that will make a better story idk |
| I'm here waiting excitedly for the fashion outfits! (*-*) Go, Chiyuki, do it for all the shorties out there! I can feel your pain.. #158cm |
 |
| i loved the first ep but i just think that the girl is super small... she could have like at least be 1,60cm.. and the fact the the boy is even smaller i- i'm tall (1,72) and i cant imagine wanting to be a model and being hella short so i see what they did there but still.. |

| Hanae Natsuki is the voice actor from Demon Slayer. And now this new guy. I guess this VA has perfect older brother voice or something? |
 |
| I kinda dislike the main protagonist, everything seems so cheesy. Only person I like so far is the bob-cut hair guy. |
 |
| A shounen anime about runway models? This looks boring as hell, but I'll watch another episode or two before dropping it. |
 |
| Yup, absolutely loved it so far! Chiyuki is the best model I've ever seen ^^ What's up with her dad though? Wasn't that a bit rude to fire and leave her daughter like that because she wasn't tall? Shouldn't she hate her dad? |
 plz @ me |
| Don't know why I'm watching this. It's unique though. Pretty girls, wimpy guy. I'll keep watching. 158 cm model? She can't do runway she should just pick something else. There are other modeling careers. |
 |
| Man height really does mean everything in this line of work. Sucks for Chiyuki. Sad story for Ikuto as well, abandoning his dream for the sake of his family. Digging the background music though. The soundtrack for this anime is the best I've seen in a while. Awesome first episode. I get the feeling I'm really gonna enjoy this anime. |
| I dislike Ikuto's character type; overly meek, constantly apologising and self sacrificing. There's no interest there at all. Hopefully he improves. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| This was good start. Kinda naive but very well-done as far as character exposition goes. Gotta keep watching further, looks pretty interesting. |
| As a professional model, I thought it was only right for me to watch an anime about runway modeling haha xD Nicely done opening ep. And Chiyuki's walk was really good. Street shoots are my faaaavorite <3 but studio work is also v fun -^.^- Loved the fit Iku designed for her. |

| As someone who is short, I can feel the pain of wanting to grow (at least to average height dammit)... Pretty refreshing to see an anime about fashion as we don't see that often. Get the feeling this is going to be a great story about following your dreams despite being told they can't do it. |
 |
| very sweet a daughter that loves her daddy we dont get that in anime often almost never, most of the time the dad is dumb and the daughter disrespects him. |
| They way I got so happy when Ikuto was asked to join the company:) I'm glad he can do his dream job. I like both the main characters so far, I'm excited to see how the story progresses. |
| This is like Prologue. The main story will start at episode 2. Chiyuki and Ikuto will start the journey. |
