About BLESS
Adapted from Kodansha USA's story description:
Aia was scouted as a model when he was young, but the future he wants is behind the makeup brush. Afraid to challenge the expectations placed on him, he keeps that ambition quiet until he meets Jun, a classmate who tries to hide the freckles she feels ashamed of. Aia asks her to enter a school fashion contest with him doing her makeup. Working together gives Jun the confidence to stand in front of an audience and Aia a chance to pursue the craft he loves, even if it means risking failure.
