The series centers around two main characters: Sumiura, who is inspired to become a fashion designer thanks to AE, and AE, a model with a hidden persona, Enage, who is a fashion student. They are teamed up to create a design for a competition. What I love about AE is his deceptive nature and the hidden agenda he has toward Sumiura, as well as his desire to draw out the darker, more corrupt side of Sumiura’s innocence. Sumiura, who was once a social outcast by choice, begins to slowly open up as the story unfolds. He definitely doesn't hide the fact that he is a massive fan, which is both funny and totally embarrassing.

One of the things I love most about this series is the electrifying chemistry between the two main characters. If you haven't seen the cigarette scene in episode 1. Check it out. There’s so much sexual tension, and it really amps up the intensity of the story.

What I didn't like was the fact that Sumiura failed to recognise his idol. Like is he blind or just stupid? They both (AE and Enage) have the same facial features.

The plot is engaging, the music complements the mood (mostly punk rock, but it's so good), and the tension keeps building. If you haven’t watched it yet, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
