Determined to become the best makeover team in Japan, they give showy makeovers to handpicked girls. As much as Kiri tries to shy away from the Scissors Project spotlight, she finds herself responding to beauty's call.

Kiri decides to help Kanako and give the boys a lesson in what true beauty is."--Cover [p. 4].
