So far, the story is very typical - girl has famous mother model, mother now dead, girl decides to be model, girl has lots of opposition, girl overcomes it all with her cheerful disposition and optimistic attitude. But then again, I guess cliche-ness is to be expected, since this is a shoujo manga.
The artwork is good, although I find it somewhat annoying that the adults all look the same age as the kids. Like, half the time a character will be introduced, and I'll assume he or she is school-aged until they're like, "Oh! I'm 35, and the judge of this competition!" Or something.
The characters are, again, typical, with the ever-optimistic, somewhat oblivious heroine, the hot childhood friend with a secret crush, the handsome model love rival, the overprotective father, etc., etc. I am slightly partial to the sarcastic Riko-chan, but we haven't really seen very much of her, so...=/.
All in all, this is a very cliche manga. Not to say that what I've read hasn't been enjoyable, but there is very little originality. If you're a shoujo lover and don't really care too much about art, go ahead and read this. (And it is very cute, despite all its flaws. It's just . . . typical, I guess.) But, if you're looking for something new and different...I'd pass this one by.
