Summary: Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who have a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari. Initially, Yukari is reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually she realises they are really nice people.

Almost too realistic slice-of-life...

My wife and I previewed the first episode of this anime some time ago while trying to decide which anime series to watch next. We put it on our waiting list and just recently got back to it...

This is a very mature series and not just in the topics it touches on but in the scenes it chooses to present to the viewer! While it shows no 'skin' per-se it definitely has some in your face sex scenes.... but not the kind that you'd see in a hentai, more like something that would actually happen in real life, if that makes sense. In any case, be forewarned (read more)

Absolutely one of my favourite anime series. Ever. Yazawa Ai's attention to detail in her artwork is exquisite, and the situations in which the main characters face are so realistic that Paradise Kiss is loved by non-anime and anime fans alike. A perfect ending which leaves you wanting more, but ties enough loose ends to keep you relatively satisfied. If you haven't already seen this, then you should really take the plunge, because this is one of the most mature and sophisticated series I have come upon, and that's pretty rare in this genre.

This is indeed of the greatest shoujo series ever created ! Glamorous, yet so close to the real life. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good romance story
