StoryParadise Kiss focuses on the life of Yukari, a high school student who is studying for her college entrance exams. Her life is based on the education formula which means...good scores + good college = good job = Success!!. It seems as if her life is set...until she runs into a group of Yazawa art students who want her to model their line of clothing "Paradise Kiss". The longer Yukari stays with the group the more she realizes there is more to life than an education and a job.

Yet when she meets the ParaKiss crew, she begins a slow change from stuck up school girl to an aspiring model. She lost her virginity to George Koizumi(see below). Tired of waiting for George, she "ends up with" Hiroyuki.
