Anime about fashion is a rare beast, but you don’t need a lot of them when you already have one of the best. Smile Down The Runway presents fashion as competitive, challenging, and in an interesting way. All of this helps to augment its other themes like that people like what they like, despite who they are or what they look like. You may be a man or a perfect model, but if creating fashion is your passion, you shouldn’t fight that just because of what others think.
Where To Start The Smile Down The Runway Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Smile Down The Runway anime and wish to continue the story with the manga, you can do so at Chapter 76.
It adapts all but the last chapter of Volume 9.
What to Expect From The Smile Down The Runway Manga?
While as a standalone series, the Smile Down The Runway anime is a perfectly great watch. However, if you intend to read the manga, the adaptation was not perfect. It often cuts stories shorts and is particularly bad about skipping pretty crucial side character stories.
If you wish to continue the story with the Smile Down The Runway manga, I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning.
If you just want to continue regardless, keep in mind that some side characters may be doing things and pursuing goals suddenly that were not brought up in the anime. You may also find a few cut side characters popping up.
Is The Smile Down The Runway Manga Over?
The Smile Down The Runway manga launched in 2017 and ended with Chapter 194 in 2021. It is completed.
Will There Be A Smile Down The Runway Season 2?
There has been no announcement of a second season of Smile Down The Runway Season 2.
Unfortunately, the anime released in 2020, which is a full year before the manga would end. However, it does smack of the common “release a one-season anime before the manga ends to boost sales” situation.
It is pretty safe to say there will not be a Smile Down The Runway Season 2.
