主人公？

The protagonist?

This review contains spoilers. 序盤とあらすじを読んで、千雪が主人公だと思って感情移入して読み進めたらいつのまにか育人に主人公の座を乗っ取られてるような…千雪が好きで応援しながら読んでるので、ちょっと残念。

This review contains spoilers. I read the beginning and synopsis, and when I empathize and read on I think Chiyuki is the main character, it's like Ikuto had taken over the main character's seat before I knew it... I like Chiyuki and I read it while cheering for it, so it's a bit disappointing.

ランウェイで笑って

Laugh at the runway

This review contains spoilers. タイトル回収はされます。高校生だった子達がトップデザイナー・トップモデルになるお話です。22巻で完結しており最後まで中だるみせず飽きずに読めるかなと思います。時系列的に結構とんとん拍子なので高校生だったことを忘れますがあまり関係ないかな。最初はモデルさんにライトが当たってるかと思いきやデザイナーのいくとくんメインかなと思います。絵がキレイでとても読みやすく話もわかりやすいです。おすすめです。

This review contains spoilers. The title will be collected. This is a story about children who were high school students becoming top designers and top models. It's completed in 22 volumes, so I think I'll be able to read it until the end without getting tired of it. It's pretty fast in chronological order, so I forget I was in high school, but I don't think it really matters. At first, I thought the model was shining on the light, but I think the designer Ikuto-kun is the main one. The pictures are beautiful, very easy to read, and the story is easy to understand. I recommend it.

夢はあきらめない

I won't give up on my dreams

父親がモデル事務所を営む千雪の夢はパリコレモデル。身長が最低でも175㎝は必要とされているのに、千雪の身長は158㎝で伸びがとまってしまった。周囲には無理だ、あきらめろと言われ続けても夢を諦めきれない千雪。クラスの貧乏男子でファッションデザイナーを目指す同級生育人の夢は、無理じゃないとバッサリと切り捨てた千雪だったが……。

Chiyuki, whose father runs a model agency, dreams of being a Paris Collection model. Even though a minimum height of 175 cm is required, Chiyuki's height is 158 cm and she has stopped growing. Chiyuki can't give up on her dream even though people around her keep telling her to give up. The dream of a poor boy in his class who aims to become a fashion designer was Chiyuki, who quickly cut it off if it wasn't impossible...

願望

aspirations

This review contains spoilers. 低身長だけどパリコレモデルになりたい。貧乏だけどファッションデザイナーになりたい。周囲から叶わないと言われても、それでも真っ直ぐ夢を追いかける2人の物語です。夢を諦めない2人の姿に感動しました。

This review contains spoilers. I'm short, but I want to be a Paris Fashion model. I'm poor, but I want to be a fashion designer. It's a story of two people who go straight after their dreams, even when they are told by those around them that they won't come true. I was moved by the sight of the two never giving up on their dreams.

主人公がとてもがんばりやで、応援したくなる！ファッション業界はあまり興味なかったけど、これ読むと少し興味わいた。

もうすこし

A little more

This review contains spoilers. だんだん絵柄が変わりましたが、私は最初の方が好きでした。気にならなくなるくらい面白いですが。結末は、少し物足りなく感じました。もう少し書き足してもらって、二人の夢の実現をじっくり読みたかったです。

This review contains spoilers. The design gradually changed, but I liked the first one. It's so interesting that I don't care about it. I felt that the ending was a bit unsatisfactory. I wanted them to write a little more, and carefully read The Realization of Their Dreams.

先が気になって、つい買ってしまった。

I was worried about the future, so I just bought it.

千雪ちゃん、可愛い。育人くんも可愛い。おかっぱがずっと気になるが。あと、周りの人のキャラが濃くてイイ。2人がパリコレを目指して、少しずつ成長していく姿が、もうハラハラドキドキ！頑張ってー！ってめっちゃ応援したくなります。自分がファッション系の学校を出ているので、なんだか懐かしくて。自分でデザインしてパターン引いて縫製して自分で着てショーもやったし、他校との合同ショーでモデルもやったし、課題で徹夜もしました。先が気になって気になって！細かい文章は苦手なのでちょっとすっ飛ばして読んでます。芸術方面は、努力も大事だけど生まれ持った才能には勝てない…。

Chiyuki is cute. Ikuto is cute too. I've always been worried about puppies. Also, it's nice that the characters of the people around me are strong. The sight of the two of them growing little by little while aiming for Paris Collection is already so exciting! Good luck! I really want to cheer them on. I graduated from a fashion school, so I'm kind of nostalgic. I designed it myself, drew a pattern, sewed it, and put it on my own for shows, modeled for joint shows with other schools, and stayed up all night due to assignments. I'm worried about the future and I'm worried! I'm not good at detailed sentences, so I skipped a bit and read them. When it comes to art, effort is important, but you can't beat the talent you were born with...

面白いです！

It's interesting!

デザイナーとモデルを目指す二人のサクセスストーリー。この物語を楽しむポイントは、「現実の常識を持ち込んではいけない」、この一点です。この作品は華やかなファッションという世界で、創意工夫と努力を重ねて、主人公たちが成功をおさめるまでのドラマを描いた物語であって、デザイナーやモデルの実録本でも、その職業を目指すための指南書や啓発本でもありません。なので、「こんなこと、現実ではありえない！」ということが、作中ではたびたび起こりますwでも、漫画ってそういうものですよね。現実にありそうで、でもまず起こり得ないだろう事柄を、作者さんの想像力で作られた世界の中に見て楽しむもの。そういう前提を持ってこの物語を読むと、ものすごーく楽しめます！「ランウェイで笑って」、面白いですよ！ぜひご一読を。

A success story of two aspiring designers and models. The point of enjoying this story is “don't bring in real common sense.” This work is a story about a drama about the protagonists achieving success through repeated ingenuity and effort in the glamorous world of fashion, and it is not an actual recording book for designers and models, nor is it an instruction book or enlightenment book for aiming for that occupation. So, “this can't happen in real life!” That happens a lot in the story lol, but comics are like that, aren't they? It's something you enjoy seeing in a world created by the author's imagination that seems likely to happen in reality, but is unlikely to happen. If you read this story with that kind of premise, you'll enjoy it immensely! “Laugh on the runway” is funny! Be sure to read it.

ブレのない完成度の高い作品

A work with a high degree of perfection without blurring

This review contains spoilers. 既存のファッション業界の価値観を打ち破る最終巻のクライマックスが素晴らしい。途中蛇足に思えたモデル会社の社長のポカも見事に伏線回収して盛り上げている。星を一つ減らしたのは、作品中（特に初期）のファッションがどうにも野暮ったく感じてしまいテンションが下がったから。

This review contains spoilers. The climax of the final volume, which breaks with existing values in the fashion industry, is wonderful. Poka, the president of the model company, who seemed to be in trouble along the way, also brilliantly collected foreshadowing and made it exciting. The reason I lost one star was that the fashion in the work (especially in the early days) felt so dull that my tension dropped.

話の内容はすごくよかったが、

The content of the story was really good,

肝心の服があまり素敵とは思えず、ちょっと残念です。それがなかったら、文句なしに良い。キャラクターも魅力的でよかったです。

I don't think the essential clothes are very nice, which is a bit disappointing. If you don't have it, no complaints. I'm glad that the characters are also attractive.

Chiyuki is hardworking and so cute! I was really addicted to it at the beginning of reading it, but I wavered a bit when the drawing changed, such as a rival in love from the middle appearing. I read the results until the end, but the second half of the story wasn't good.

背が低いのにモデルになれるとかは、さすが漫画という設定ですが、主人公の強気で何か持ってる感じが好きです。

As expected, being able to be a model even though you're short is set up in a comic, but I like the fact that the main character is aggressive and has something.
