Cinderella Girl (2023)

Other name: シンデレラガール, Shinderera Gaaru, Золушка

Description:

Cinderella Girl tells the inspiring story of Otowa, who at 12 years old underwent leg amputation due to illness, leading to numerous hospitalizations and missing her junior high graduation. A heartfelt surprise graduation ceremony on the hospital roof, organized by her classmates, goes viral on social media, launching Otowa into an unexpected modeling career. Initially recognized as a high school student model with a prosthetic leg, her subsequent work primarily involved concealing her limb.

The narrative shifts when Otowa's manager, Yui, discovers a groundbreaking prosthetic limb fashion brand. Deeply moved by their philosophy—viewing prosthetic limbs as a symbol of individuality rather than disability—Yui and Otowa decide to boldly showcase Otowa's prosthetic leg. Their journey culminates in a significant opportunity to appear in a prestigious fashion show, where they aim to redefine beauty standards and celebrate unique identity.
