everybody has their own taste in manga and this is definitely not mine. every single chapter up to 64 is full of drama and the struggle of the main character, it's seem good to some extent but this on is just pure drama. the story is quite complex and hard to predict, at least to me with little interest in fashion. the build up is good, and so is the pacing. we can tell the background story of each character and what is their problem. it's all started with really good story and introduction, but as i read further it become a problem. this manga ... is pure drama, it really has no 'seasoning' like comedy or romance or school life story. it just drama, drama, and drama about their sruggle in their life and how to overcome that to reach their dream. it might be good if i know fashion, but sadly i have no interest in it.

the art is looking good, it look clean too. but really, i just don't understand fashion, every character seem to have their own fashion in this one. also sometime there's full page about clothes but i don't understand what is going on, like is this clothes good or not, it look same to me. sometime there's some drawn effect that highlight some clothes or models, that want to emphasize this is looking good, but i just don't see it. also there's nothing to remember for background as this is fashion centered manga. the characters looks normal, nothing unique or different with other modern manga.

for the characters, this is the worst. i though there's 2 mc, but mostly for me it just around the male mc. which i don't mind, but how can i enjoy the story when i don't know whats going on with the other one. the male mc is portrayed as weak, indecisive, crybaby. while the women is more strong, blunt, and have never give up mentality. of course as the story progress their personality also grow, the male starting to become more confidence, while the female also start to showing some weakness. the support character however almost everyone has this one trait, negativity. almost all of them seem to be negative about the mc or life in general. which is adding more to the issue with the pure drama storyline. while other people might found this good, it just depressing for me.

score:
story : 3/10
art : 5/10
character : 4/10
enjoyent : 2/10

overall, i don't like this manga as it has pure drama story with character that don't really suit for my taste. not to mention the lack of comedy, romance or even youth event/school life make it no appeal for me, even more so when i have no interest in fashion. for you who want to see good design, process of making clothes and the struggle to sell their product with character development, maybe this is for you. and for you who don't like drama with no 'seasoning', better read other manga.
