Akko's secret

A fifth-grader with a mirror that grants shape-shifting powers decides adulthood—and beauty—await at a cosmetics firm, where she juggles homework, makeovers, and crushes with the grace of a toddler handling fireworks. Her compact, a clunky artifact of wishful thinking, buzzes with near-magical reliability whenever deadlines or blush shades threaten to spill her secret. Turns out faking confidence isn’t harder than blending foundation—just slightly less forgiving.
