I thought about writing about one of my favourite manga/animes. This is as well a real masterpiece of one of my two favourite mangakas: Ai Yazawa (the creator of NANA!). So this is something I truly recommend to all otakus! And as well to everybody else!

Genre: Romance, Fashion, Shoujo etc.
Anime: 12 episodes
Manga: 5 volumes

Summary:

Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari instead. Initially, Yukari was reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually, she realises that they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams.
