Written and illustrated by Yukino Sonoyama, Bless debuted in Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge in January 2022 before moving to Monthly Shonen Sirius in December 2023. The manga follows Aia Udagawa, a first. year at Aoiyama High, who dreams of becoming a makeup artist but feels discouraged when nobody around him supports his dream. When he and shy classmate Jun, who longs to be a model, get paired for a runway show at the school, the two unlock each other’s potential in an unexpected way.
Bless has also inspired a live-action adaptation which will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in 2027.
Kodansha describes Bless as below:
They said Aia was destined to be a model, and Jun was bullied for her freckles. Together, they will take back the power to define themselves in an inspirational fashion manga that asks cutting questions about what it really means to be beautiful—and what it takes to overcome an arbitrary system that seems to respect talent over hard work.
Bless will be streamed worldwide on Crunchyroll on January 8.
