Summary
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.

- Ikuto is a seventeen-year-old aspiring fashion designer. Ikuto has aspired to be a fashion designer from a young age, but he is forced put his dream on halt due to his family's financial struggles. As the eldest child and only son, Ikuto helps his mother take care of his sisters and handles most of the housework and initially refuses to go to college, planning to pursue full-time employment to support his sisters. After befriending Chiyuki and getting a part-time job at Yanagida's studio, Ikuto begins working towards his dream of being a fashion designer, though his financial situation causes him some setbacks. Despite this, he never gives up and supports them, wanting to become fashion designer for Chiyuki and his family in the future. Ikuto later develops feelings for Chiyuki.

- Template:Voiced by
- Chiyuki is a seventeen-year-old model for her father's company Mille Neige. While blessed with good looks, the proper body proportions, and her father's connections and wealth, Chiyuki lacks the minimum height requirement to be a runway model, being Template:Convert tall.

Chiyuki later develops feelings for Ikuto.
- Template:Nihongo
- Template:Voiced by
- Kokoro is an aspiring, hard-working fashion designer, a first-year student at the Geika Institute of Fashion, and a part-time model at the agency Bon Rouge. Being Template:Convert tall with a shy, submissive, and meek personality, she is self-conscious about her height, though she becomes less bothered by it when she was scouted in high school.
