Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I picked up a translation of this series while living in Japan. The entire series is fantastic. I could relate very well from my past experiences working as a temp and as an administrative assistant. Things aren't so different in the US from how women are treated in business environments in Japan. There are sharp jokes about the way that women are under valued and how the OL's adapt to deal with it. The girls are also hung over in every third strip. Very VERY funny!

Summary: A fun and educational read
Review: This series of comic strips is a light-hearted look at life as a 20-something "office lady" in Japan. While the girls are pre-occupied with enjoying life, their parents are worried about obtaining the best possible husband-provider, their bosses are worried about them falling asleep on the job after playing too many computer games the night before, and their easily-dumped boyfriends are all-too often confused and manipulated. It's like a less ... focused comic version of "Sex And The City". The 5-volume bilingual collection has the original Japanese to help those wishing to learn, but it's a fun read in any event. Too bad Kodansha don't plan on continuing the series after the 5th volume.
