Bless (Manga) Volume 03

Description

They said Aia was destined to be a model, and Jun was bullied for her freckles. Together, they will take back the power to define themselves in an inspirational fashion manga that asks cutting questions about what it really means to be beautiful–and what it takes to overcome an arbitrary system that seems to respect talent over hard work.

Surrounded by a circle of like-minded talent, Aia finally feels free to pursue becoming a makeup artist. His friend Jun makes her own breakthrough toward a seemingly impossible modeling career. Despite the challenges ahead, their determination to succeed is unstoppable.

Competition in the beauty world often gets ugly. To get an advantage, Aia asks his rival Ginga for guidance and on-the-job experience. Meanwhile, Jun is at a crucial modeling casting, under the glare of the industry’s harshest judges. Just as she’s about to crack, a celebrity insider lends a helping hand—a move that might seal the deal. Aia and Jun grow more confident, but they also grapple with the reality that there’s always someone better. Could that struggle be what drives them to rise above the rest?
