Paradise Kiss Deluxe, Vol. 3

The series beautifully blends fashion and personal growth. I wonder what inspired the decision to highlight fashion as a form of self-expression.

The relationships seem to deepen but also become more complex — was that intentional to reflect real growth or just a storytelling choice?

The vibrant visuals and detailed fashion illustrations feel so authentic. I'm curious if the author visited specific fashion hubs or drew from personal experience.
