Synopsis

At a young age, Aia Utagawa was scouted as a model, but his real ambition is to become a makeup artist. But, even as the end of high school approaches, it's a dream he hides inside, afraid of stepping outside his prescribed role as a pretty face. Then, one day, he meets Jun, a quiet classmate who hunches because she's ashamed of her face, covered in freckles. He convinces her to enter a school runway fashion contest together–with him doing her makeup. They make an incredible team, with Jun discovering a confidence she never knew she could show and Aia finally learning that, while it may be tough to open yourself up to failing at the one thing you care about, the difficulties can be worth facing.

Preliminary (11/? eps)
Exceptionally fantastic art with rich colours is the main standout of the manga, and it’s really hard to believe this is the authors first manga (if I’m not mistaken).

Plot is decent if not dragging slightly after the first chapter, but hey it’s only been a few months since it’s started as I’m writing this review.

The romance is refreshing not only because it isn’t the main focus (it’s a lot more focused on their individual lives and dreams) but because Aya and jun are subversive in their masculinity and femininity, but not in the usual femdom style seen in a lot of mangas(no offence ...
