Goodreads Synopsis:
MEGUMI À LA MODE
Graduation is only a few months away and Mei and Yamato have both found
their future careers. Mei has decided to go into childcare and Yamato
will become a professional photographer. But not everyone has found
their place. Megumi uses the summer break to travel to Paris in an
attempt to make it as an international model, but she quickly discovers
that she doesn’t have the same appeal as she does back home. Megumi will
do anything it takes to break into the industry, but she may have to
rely on local help to overcome the many hurdles that stand in her way...
Review:
A
large part of this volume focuses on Megumi, and I’m really quite
interested in what she’s doing. She’s abroad in France now, and
it’s not working quite as well as she thought. Most companies just
aren’t that interested in an Asian model, and so she’s having a
hard time finding work. She doesn’t stop trying, though, looking
everywhere that she can, going out every day, even trying more
desperate tactics when she has to.
I
respect Megumi here, with how hard she works for it. I actually
wanted more of her, for once.
Then
there’s Kai and Rin. Rin has a huge crush on him, and he agrees to
give it a try. But that’s clearly not going to work for long,
especially when he feels so bad for not liking her in the same way.
I’m interested to see what happens there when Megumi comes back,
because I really see something happening there. I’m honestly
excited for it.
We
also saw a bit of Mei and Yamato here, of course. They’re slowly
going forward in their career decisions, and Yamato is learning and
experimenting with his camera. It looks like we might get a cute date
between them next time.
This
series is always fun to read, and I’m always looking forward to the
next one.
