The story of a young girl trying to make it as a model, the only problem is-
she can't smile.
Although she's constantly being rejected she continues to go to auditions hoping for her big break. Unfortunately when she smiles she looks scary as hell.

A fun twist reveals that the two attend the same school, Umi's actual identity is of Student Body President Kajiwara.
Now it must be noted that Naka-chan is more than a pretty girl with a scary smiling face. She quite peculiar to say the least. She's incredibly passionate to the point of seeming rather crazy. People find her scary due to her face, she's wants to change how people see her, to become more beautiful. Her motivations for wanting to become a model start of simple but as her career begins to developed so does her love for the job. Which cause her to become more passionate which = extra crazy.
Due to Umi's promise to make Naka-chan a real model in exchange for her silence , they become something of partners from this point on. Although Umi is harsh with Naka-chan he does help her to express herself- she progresses through his advice and guidance and she helps to protect his secret at all costs!
Naka-chan improves with Umi's help, soon people begin to notice how beautiful she really is and Umi, a 14 year old boy, begins to mature into a man- Soon he'll outgrow female modelling, but will he be able to make it in the male modelling industry or will the end of Umi mean the end of his career?
There are 90 chapters in this manga so the story really develops along with the characters and relationships. Theres love triangles, betrayal, heart break and of course- intense modelling.
A brilliantly funny manga with inventive and eccentric characters!
You'll get to see where passion can bring you and that giving up is never an option!
Also the jobs they take and tasks they have to complete can be odd and creative! Thats the entertainment industry for you!
Overall an enjoyable comedy about life as an upcoming model!
