About the series
In the early 2000s, Dargaud published this five-issue fashion-centric drama, a European edition of the acclaimed Japanese manga Paradise Kiss. The story follows a high school student who gets swept into the chaotic, glamorous world of an independent fashion label run by eccentric art students. Best known for the work of creator Ai Yazawa, the series explores ambition, identity, and the cost of creative passion with a sharp, stylish sensibility. It stands as a key work for its nuanced portrayal of young adults forging their own paths outside society's expectations.
