It is like a dream come true for me to be able to play the role of the strong, beautiful, and competitive Chiyuki in this way.
I will do my best to convey her fragile yet powerful charm in my voice, which is strong no matter what adversity she faces. I look forward to working with you.

Ikuto Miyakomura (CV: Natsuki Hanae)

A high school boy who aspires to be a fashion designer. He is the eldest son of a single-mother family with three younger sisters. His family is financially strapped, and he sometimes brings a lunch box of white rice and bean sprouts to school. He has a kind heart and is considering giving up his dream of becoming a fashion designer and getting a job in order to support the family finances.

Natsuki Hanae

I cried many times when I read the original work.
I love clothes, but the other side of it was completely unknown to me.
The runway depicted through Chiyuki, Ikuto, and other characters with various thoughts and feelings is very attractive, and the struggles with the environment and what they were born with, and their ability to carry themselves through, give me courage and make me want to cheer them on.
I will do my best to convey the charm of Ikuto, who pursues his dream while supporting his family!

Kotoba Inotani
Smile on the runway" TV anime adaptation!
Inotani is also smiling! Thanks to the support of our readers, thank you! Shape", "Material", and "Color" are said to be the three major elements of fashion. Of these, "color" is the only one that I cannot depict in my manga. I am very excited to think that this "color" will be expressed through the animation. The staff, led by the director, is giving their all to the production.
I, along with the readers, am looking forward to the start of the broadcast!
