Smile Down the Runway

Airing on MBS, *Smile Down the Runway* is an inspiring anime about chasing impossible dreams in the competitive world of high fashion.

Her classmate, Ikuto Tsumura, is a brilliant aspiring designer who lacks the financial resources to pursue his passion. When their paths cross, they form an unlikely team. Chiyuki’s relentless determination to model is matched only by Ikuto’s raw design talent. Together, they decide to take on the industry, facing constant setbacks and harsh critics to prove that talent and passion can overcome any obstacle.
