[edit] Story
Yukari Hayasaka lives the typical life of a Japanese high school senior. Her life is burdened with the pressures of cram school, a helpless crush, and impending entrance exams. She is constantly crushed under the expectations of her mother, Tomoko, who desperately wants her daughter to be a top student. One day, while walking the streets while studying a copy of Catcher in the Rye, Yukari is accosted by Arashi Nagase who says "Bingo!" and praises her beauty. Disturbed by both his bizarre appearance and his questionable intentions, Yukari tries to escape, but bumps into Isabella. She promptly faints, and is brought to the Paradise Kiss atelier.

Upon awakening in the studio, she is calmed by Miwako's kind greeting. The trio of Miwako, Isabella, and Arashi explain that they are students at the fashion school Yazawa Arts, then proceed to ask if she wishes to be their model for the school's annual fashion show. Yukari angrily declines, finding the very idea to be a waste of time, and leaves in a huff, unknowingly dropping her student handbook in the stairway.

As Yukari walks out of school, she is presented with a rose by a handsome man in a tuxedo. This man, George Koizumi, is the leader of "ParaKiss", and he has every intention of charming Yukari into the modelling position, beginning with the guise of returning her ID book. Drawn by the allure of Paradise Kiss members' determination--as well as George's charisma--Yukari is quickly swept off her feet and into a surreal world of fashion and romance.
