Description
Cane Lele was born into the fashion industry. Her mother, Ye Fei Yi, was Taiwan's top model, and her father was also a model, until a tragic airplane crash left Lele without parents. Therefore, it is no surprise that Lele hates the industry, thinking it superficial and unnecessary.
Raised by her maternal grandmother, Lele reaches seventeen before she is sucked in by her mother's sister, Ye Fei Hong, a fashion model agent (and former model), convinces the reluctant Lele to model. Lele had been adverse to the whole idea, until she sees a photo shoot of popular American model Angus Lanson, and ... More...

I LOVE this manga!! It is one of my favorite things I've read so far (and I've read a lot of manga).. I saw this a long time ago and decided not to read it but recently saw it on here and I'm Sooo happy I read it.. I kno its a long manga and is still going but I'm happy its still going I hate it when mangas seem cut short and the ending is bad (or if rushed).And although their are a ot of chapters there's usually only about 30pgs each chapter). As I read I totally seen parts of nana and skip beat and even a little of crimson hero (bc lele had a little bit of a tom boyish style). All in all I would recommend pple to read it. I can't wait till the rest of the chapters come out, I really want to see what happens to all the characters!!
Love it!

This series is really great! At first I was hesitating to read it because I don't usually read manhuas but then I was bored so I started reading it. It turned out really interesting and I'm really glad that I read it and I'm really looking forward to more releases.
Beautiful but not memorable

Overall, this is actually a very mature, josei-style manhua, even though the girl is in her late teens (so you'd think it would be a shoujo.) There seem to be a lot of (mostly gay) people having sex with each other left and right, and the author doesn't pull punches with character death.
Unfortunately, while the art is lovely and the plot is interesting, but it never really gripped me. For a high rising model, Lele is drawn in chibi form way too often, which really jars you; I could never quite reconcile her very plain chibi form with the fact that she is supposed to be pretty, so her talent never really impressed itself on me, unlike the twins. One aspect I really enjoyed was how easy it was to tell the twins apart by personality, without them being drawn differently. It was a great portrayal and I really liked it! =D Actually, I liked the twins much better in the beginning of the plot; and Lele much better toward the end.
P.S. No, Humpty Tortie... you are not!

to me it is realistic and has realistic problems

@childofsecrets: i agree with everything you said
@Inori Yuzuriha: i dont agree with anything you said. haha sorry no offence
-Why: to me she is like an everyday normal girl from this generation sure her mom and dad were previously famous modals but so what it was there job that they did for money its no diffrent from someone having a job that is limited and competitive like a governor or a realy high position at apple but, do you see there kids plastered on magazines or are they in like the latest gossip not realy and they go to a normol school like everybodyelse. sure she is a fan girl but not of Angus but she later finds out its Ying (what she calls him not Eros,also it the chinese name his mom gave him). i mean, come on what girl is not a fan of some type of idol like a model, actor/actress, band, or singer(haha even a guy should have at least have one, also i could just be one genre, for ex: my mom is a fan of an singer, even i have one of an band, singer, actor, actress.) the reason she becomes more serious and not some crazy fan girl if because she grew up and became an adult like everybody will. Lele also did have a goal she went into the modeling indrustry because she wanted to know more about Angos (later is Ling like i expained above) and become at the same level as him. also her aunt did not force her to model because of her

it was because she had signed a 2 year contract so she could not leave in-tell two years. also to me it is realistic. you said she should not of became that famous within two years beacause of her looks but it is possible to be a famus model whom is not very pretty, the reason she got famous so fast is because she had a passionate air around the camra and could easily change her expression that look realisic. also Ying is not a famous movie director but runway director. and lastly the is a reason that Eros and Ying look alike because they are identical twins so you not supose to realy know who is who, the way you tell is the way they act aka personality.LOL

What i can say is, lots of gays lol! Personally I'm alright with it, but what's with all the guys there falling in love with the twins man? What happen to the lead? I was expecting it to be like skip beat, two guys chasing one girl.

I can't deny that I like this manhua, but when the author brought in Sweden I got a little ticked off and took a break from reading it. It's like she just borrowed the name and looks from the country and then made the rest up to match the story.
Ah, but really, don't mind me. I'm just a bit sensitive when it comes to things like this.

Gave this almost ten because the feelings it gave me was so high and awesome. And also the fashion, model world reference is refreshing and detailed.
But what you guys say is true. Ahhh feel so good many people can relate to my feelings in some ways.

Still can't figure out why the title is 'The One'..?
Anyway, It has been more than a year that I stopped reading this manga, I came to Baka to check it's scan progress, too bad it's been a year since a new chapter has released. I read till around 80 chapters and rejoiced on the fact that
As for liking the series, yes, it was really good. I read it at a stretch a few years ago and so found some of the chapters stagnant. Overall, a good impression, pretty deep with characters having their own physiological problems to deal with.The story began with the main focus on the fashion industry but as it progressed, it began to stress more on personal lives, which kinda blew it out of proportion. It's just my personal view, so no harm done. I like the series which is no average shoujo or josie, mind.
I would definitely recommend it and if you liked this series then don't forget to read YOUTH GONE WILD; Nikki's other work. I'd pick the latter to read any day over THE ONE.
