Hey there all of you up and coming fashionista’s of Japan! Or at least that seems to be what this weeks topic centers around so why not check out a great anime centering around that same genre? That’s right, I’m talking about Paradise Kiss, a fun and heart-wrenching story about a teenage school girl and her run-in with the world of fashion, modeling and love.

With great poppy and catchy song from singers like Franz Ferdinand and Tommy February6, who couldn’t love this elaborately colored and edge of your seat series? Honestly, after watching just one episode it was nearly impossible to just stop myself there until the entire span of 12 episodes had been unloaded and played through.

Follow Yukari as she slowly begins to break away from the hold of her mother and school life, discovering not only an entire new world but also a new part of herself as she battles with love-interest, notoriously charismatic George, university exams and learning how to balance all of it together with her new self. You won’t help but to laugh and cry along as you discover new things and gain a taste for the fashion industry all in one!

This anime is recommended for ages 15+!
