I'd rather say that the idea of the whole story is fighting to become a super model despite being shorter than one ideally ought to be in that profession. Isn't that, overcoming an insurmountable looking challenge, one of the primary tenets of the shounen category? In seinen or josei the point could be coming to terms with the impossibility and finding something else to do, depressingly realistically. In shoujo it would obviously be to find the knight riding a white horse to solve all of your problems for you.
