Aoi is the second younger sister of Ikuto and the third child of the Tsumura family. Aoi is talented at volleyball and has been scouted by top schools, though Aoi declines the offers due to the expensive tuition. Since Aoi's sport takes up her time, she does not help around the house as much as Ikuto or Honoka do, but she steps up when needed. Aoi prefers clothes that are easy to move in and Ikuto often makes often blue-colored clothes for her, which is Aoi's favorite color and the meaning of her name.
Smile Down the Runway
Runway de Waratte starts with the story of Fujito Chiyuki, an aspiring fashion model and daughter of a fledgling Modeling Agency, Mille Neige. Ever since she was little, Chiyuki's dream was to be the star model of her dad's agency and perform at Paris Fashion Week. With great looks and a gifted environment, it seemed like she was on the right track to fulfill her dream, but she soon found herself faced with a seemingly insurmountable wall when her height stopped growing at 158 cm; too short to be a professional model. Although Chiyuki still kept on believing in herself for years despite everyone telling her it's impossible, Chiyuki's resolve starts to crumble as she enters her last year of high school. This is when she meets Tsumura Ikuto, a lame classmate with a surprising talent for designing clothes, who is also considering giving up his dream due to unfortunate circumstances. Together, they begin the journey of doing the impossible in order to realize their dreams.
