Smile at the Runway starts with the story of Fujito Chiyuki, an aspiring
fashion model and daughter of a fledgling Modeling Agency, Mille neige.
Ever since she was little, Chiyuki's dream was to be the star model of
her dad's agency and perform at Paris Fashion Week. With great looks and
a gifted environment, it seemed like she was on the right track to
fulfill her dream, but she soon found herself faced with a seemingly
insurmountable wall when her height stopped growing at 158cm (5'2"),
hopelessly too short to be a professional model.
Although Chiyuki
still kept on believing in herself for years despite everyone telling
her it's impossible, Chiyuki's resolve starts to crumble as she enters
her last year of high school. This is when she meets Tsumura Ikuto, a
lame classmate with a surprising talent for designing clothes, who is
also considering giving up his dream due to unfortunate circumstances.
Together, they begin the journey of doing the impossible in order to
realize their dreams.
