Alternative title:
ウォーキン・バタフライ (Japanese)
Plot Summary: Michiko is a extremely tall girl who had a rough childhood due to her height. No boys would go out with her because they didn't want to date a girl who was taller than they were. Thus she grew up with a poor self image and eventually became a delinquint with a complex about the way she looked. One day while out on a delivery job she ends up at a fashion show surrounded by many women the same height as she is and gets mistaken as one of the models. From here on many sequences of events and emotions lead Michiko to consider becoming a professional model which requires her to overcome her lewd nature, detestable habits, outbursts of temper and her in-grained hatred for her own body.
