Plot: Despite studying as hard as she can, Hayasaka Yukari (Kitagawa) doesn’t so as well at school as her mother would like. One day, she is asked to model for a group of student fashion designers. Torn between what she is supposed to do and what she wants to do, the “Paradise Kiss” designers somehow manage to help her find her way in life.
What is good: Mukai did an awfully good job as Koizumi.
