5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!   December 19, 2004
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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!


5 out of 5 stars Comical gag cartoon with black humors   January 23, 2000
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

A.K.A. "OL Shinka-Ron". "OL" is Japanese "English" stands for "office ladies," usually means women office clerks. This is popular gag cartoon series, which shows the daily business scenes in Japanese companies with satire and black humor. If you are doing business with Japanese companies, this book will give you some understanding of what Japanese business persons are thinking and doing at their office.
