Summary[edit]

The story follows two teenagers, Ikuto Tsumura and Chiyuki Fujito, who both have dreams of making it in the fashion world despite their circumstances. Chiyuki dreams of becoming a model and participating in the Paris Fashion Week. However, people make fun of her dreams because she is too short, despite having a thin and voluptuous figure. Ikuto wants to become a fashion designer thanks to his sewing skills. However, his family is poor.

An opportunity arises when Hazime Yanagida notices Ikuto's skill at sewing, offering him a part-time job at his fashion studio. Ikuto accepts this offer so he can support his family. Meanwhile, Chiyuki's father asks Ikuto to become her partner since they are both classmates and he wants Chiyuki to follow her dreams despite her height. They are joined by the famous but shy model Kokoro Hasegawa, who has a height complex, and prodigy fashion designer Toh Ayano, who considers Ikuto to be his rival. Chiyuki and Ikuto must work together in order to make their dreams come true.

No.Title [67][d]Original air date [68][c]
1"This Is Your Story"
Transliteration: "Kore wa kimi no Monogatari" (Japanese: これは君の物語)		January 11, 2020 (2020-01-11)
Chiyuki Fujito has pursued her dream of becoming a top model. Eight years prior, her growth spurt suddenly stopped, which made her way below the 175cm mark necessary for models. Even so, she resolves not to give up. In class, she gets to know Ikuto Tsumura, where she inadvertently discovers his dream of becoming a fashion designer. After telling Ikuto of the impossibility of his dream, Chiyuki beats herself down for discouraging someone and tries for another agency. While she is accepted, Chiyuki ultimately decides to renew her initial dream instead, approaching Ikuto to design clothes for her. Chiyuki once again declares her convictions in front of the judges, including top model Shizuku Naruoka, who catches a glimpse of Paris from her aura and appearance. Chiyuki is finally accepted, and she cries tears of joy over becoming a member of the agency that shares the same meaning as her name, as "Mille Neige" in French means "thousand snow". On the street, Chiyuki has her photo taken and a top model named Seira post it online, earning instant fame. Ikuto is then let into the agency after Chiyuki's father wishes to buy the design of her outfit.
2"The Professional World"
Transliteration: "Puro no Sekai" (Japanese: プロの世界)		January 18, 2020 (2020-01-18)
Chiyuki's father rescinds the offer for Ikuto after realizing that he is not professionally trained. Chiyuki later attempts to spur him to prove her wrong just like how she did for the many others that discouraged her, only for it to backfire and he instead lashes out at her. Thankfully, they reconcile and Ikuto makes a new outfit for himself to try again at Mille Neige. Chiyuki's father acknowledges Ikuto's potential, but instead of hiring him, he recommends Ikuto to the designing business of one of their old professional designers named Hazime Yanagida to get some experience first. Although Yanagida is crass and egoistic, Ikuto is inspired time and time again by Chiyuki to not leave the studio and continually improves his work. The next day is the beginning of Tokyo Fashion Week and a crucial moment for Yanagida as a top designer, but his last model has to be replaced by Chiyuki instead after she was unable to make it. To make matters worse, Kumi Moriyama, his sole dressmaker, collapses from a nosebleed and exhaustion, prompting Ikuto to volunteer himself to alter the dress to fit Chiyuki's height.
3"Smile Down the Runway"
Transliteration: "Ranwei de waratte" (Japanese: ランウェイで笑って)		January 25, 2020 (2020-01-25)
Ikuto blanks out from the pressure and the use of unfamiliar cloth and needles. As Chiyuki pulls him up to encourage him again, he realizes that she too is afraid, but nevertheless is fighting for her own dream. With several minutes before Chiyuki has to go out, Ikuto uses unconventional methods to bring the dress together, receiving support from the other models to buy a little more time. The audience is set abuzz when seeing a short model on the runway. Chiyuki risks embarrassing herself further when she crouches down as the shoemaker had accidentally used a broken heel, but is saved by Ikuto purposely not tying off the last thread of her neckline. The thought of Ikuto changing her dress without her notice brings a smile onto her face, although models are always taught never to fall or smile on the runway. Despite this, it earns Chiyuki a standing ovation and she finishes perfectly, changing her gait to return backstage. As the fitter points out their flaws, the two resolve to improve and return here with their own brand. Yanagida acknowledges Ikuto's potential and decides to train him.
4"Young Talents"
Transliteration: "Wakaki sainō tachi" (Japanese: 若き才能たち)		February 1, 2020 (2020-02-01)
After pulling an all-nighter at Yanagida's, Honoka, Ikuto's studious oldest sister, mistakenly believes that he is working for the family's sake again. The guilt of having to rely on her brother giving up his dream to attain her own, coupled with her falling grades, causes her to lash out in anger at him. They reconcile when Ikuto assures her that he is chasing his own dream while getting paid for the family, the two promising to work hard together. As Yanagida secures a place in a department store for his brand, the high demand for dresses prompts him to find additional support from two members of the famous Geika Fashion School in Japan: Toh Ayano, the grandson of the top designer Mai Ayano, and model-cum-designer freshman Kokoro Hasegawa. Because of the dress' unique material and fitting, Ikuto struggles with it while Toh performs it effortlessly, although the latter realizes Ikuto's great potential and talent amidst his imperfections from lack of skill and experience. At the end of the day, Toh asks Yanagida privately if he can have Ikuto for his own brand.
5"Individual Styles"
Transliteration: "Sorezore no Ryūgi" (Japanese: それぞれの流儀)		February 8, 2020 (2020-02-08)
As the trains are delayed, Kokoro and Ikuto wait it out at a park bench where Kokoro reveals that she originally wanted to become a model, but was inspired by Mai at her first fashion show to enroll at Geika. Ikuto later attends a lecture at Geika about the school's upcoming Geika Festival and decides he going to try for the grand prize: an opportunity to launch his own brand and study in Paris. Outside the school, he witnesses a confrontation between Kokoro and her manager Yu Igarashi. When he arrives at Kokoro's house, a distraught Kokoro agrees with Igarashi that she may not want to be a designer after all. Recalling how the principal of Geika, Shōko Takaoka, mentioned Kokoro's desire to learn, Ikuto proposes they participate in the Geika Festival to prove Igarashi wrong. For the preliminaries, Ikuto has to design a stylish outfit that can fit Seira within an hour, and sew it up for a model doll in two days. Consulting Chiyuki with help about Seira, who conquered all odds and achieved fame despite her height being 171cm, he eventually finds inspiration in Chiyuki's appearance.
6"Superiority and Inferiority"
Transliteration: "Yūetsukan to Retsutōkan" (Japanese: 優越感と劣等感)		February 15, 2020 (2020-02-15)
Chiyuki expresses her admiration for Ikuto to her friends. During the preliminaries, Jun Miyamoto, Takaoka, Toh, and two other contestants are chosen as judges. Ikuto presents an unconventional design of pajamas. Although Toh is impressed with Ikuto's improvement in the stitchwork, he calls it lame. However, Ikuto picks himself back up when he recalls Chiyuki's approval of his work and submits it without editing anything. Takaoka reveals that the true test was to believe in one's design. The judges then reveal the top three designs that will move straight to the finals, one of which is Ikuto's and another being Kaoru Kizaki's. Toh later bluntly tells Ikuto the true reason why his design received third place and offers him a job under his brand, which Ikuto accepts. Meanwhile, Chiyuki struggles to find magazines to accept her, eventually coming to MODE JAPAN after her performance at Yanagida's show had inspired a fashion editor named Fumiyo Niimura. However, Niimura is replaced by Akasaka instead, who only accepts Chiyuki after a model dropped out at the last minute. At the shoot, Chiyuki meets Kokoro and immediately becomes envious of her height and beauty.
7"Aura"
Transliteration: "Ora" (Japanese: 存在感（オーラ）)		February 22, 2020 (2020-02-22)
Chiyuki recalls how Shizuku taught her of the most important thing in modeling: their aura. Despite being only a supporting model, she is determined to show off her good qualities amidst the other supporting models and Kokoro as the main. Chiyuki fights against putting down Kokoro when the latter has cuts on her hands, but fails when she overhears Kokoro telling Igarashi that she wants to quit modeling. Despite Chiyuki lashing out at her, Kokoro persists in her dream to design clothes instead of modeling. Igarashi recalls how she had cozied her way up as a former model, modeling alongside Shizuku, and was friends with Chiyuki's photographer Miwako. Igarashi realizes that she has treated Chiyuki unfairly and persists with Kokoro becoming a model because of her own sense of inferiority she felt. Kokoro is once again conflicted with her choices when she makes a beginner's mistake at Yanagida's, but she is let in after much begging and Ikuto defending her. Ikuto visits Toh's basement studio where Toh reveals his aspirations of wanting to surpass his grandmother. Following the meeting, Ikuto concludes that he wants to be a full-fledged designer instead of a patternmaker.

The theme of the finals is revealed to be the Japanese character "wa", where anything associated with the character is allowed, and designers are allowed to use models from Geika or have their own, with Ikuto planning to ask Chiyuki. However, he is alerted that his mother in critical condition after repeatedly being in and out of the hospital. Ikuto later realizes that she was holding back her operation so he could have enough money for the Geika Festival. He is forced to choose between his family and his own dream as Toh tries to use his patternmaking skills, while Igarashi tries to bribe him into influencing Kokoro to give up her own designing aspirations. Ikuto finally snaps when he lashes out at his second youngest sister, Aoi. He then meets with Chiyuki's father, who was informed of Ikuto's financial situation. As such, he offers to buy the design Ikuto made for Chiyuki for two million yen in exchange for him comforting his daughter for not receiving a single offer in Paris. A grateful Ikuto asks Chiyuki to star as a model for his collection at the Geika Festival, to which she accepts.

However, things change for everybody when Chiyuki and Ikuto witness another confrontation between Kokoro and Igarashi. Recalling how Ikuto placed his faith in Kokoro's hard work and real conviction to be a designer, Chiyuki decides to become a model for Kokoro's show. She then declares that her and Ikuto are officially rivals and resolve to do their best. Now without Chiyuki, Ikuto has to redo all his designs. When Ikuto visits his mother at the hospital, she promises him that the entire family will go watch his show. At Geika, Ikuto announces to Toh that he will prove him wrong and invites Ryūnosuke Eda, Kaoru's childhood friend who specializes in men's clothing, to help him out with his new theme of "harmony (chou-wa)", which is also Toh's theme, turning things into a head-on fight. Utilizing experience from Yanagida, Ryūnosuke's help and his own creativity, Ikuto heads to the Geika Festival.
