Cinderella Girl (2023)

Cinderella Girl 2023 / シンデレラガール 2023 / Shinderera Gaaru

Otowa had one of her legs amputated due to illness when she was 12 years old. Since then, she has been in and out of hospital and was unable to attend her junior high school graduation ceremony. Otowa's classmates hold a surprise graduation ceremony for her on the roof of the hospital, and the video becomes a hot topic on social media, leading to Otowa being offered a modeling role. Although she briefly attracted attention due to her unique role as a female high school student model with a prosthetic leg, her subsequent work as a model consisted mostly of hiding her prosthetic leg. On the other hand, Yui, the manager, is moved when she hears about the philosophy of a prosthetic limb fashion brand, ‟We want people to see prosthetic limbs not as a symbol of a disability, but as an individuality.'' The two decide to push out their prosthetic leg further. Eventually, a chance to appear in a fashion show will come. (Source: Japanese = cinderella-girl.paranoidkitchen.com || Translation = XuongPhim)
