	Materialism seeps in to the very fabric.

It is interesting to see how a clothing shop (or more accurately, department store) operates; how decision is made, how costumer react, how the wants and needs perceived and played through and through. But within that same story, lies the unsavory truth that materialism had seeped there to stay. And people trapped within it can't escape since they awaken to idea that that materialistic lifestyle is the essence of the world we live in. They are helpless. In this manga, "Clothing is absolute necessity to present oneself, and one cannot be presentable without all that good clothing." I am disgusted. Yet entertained. Oh, that annoying 'common girl meet prince charming' cliche still run here. Dunno if she managed to bag him. I haven't read far.

	Great television drama

Watched the TV drama of Real Clothes after reading the manga, enjoyed the show much more than the manga, but would recommend reading the manga first to see the time Kinue spent working in the bed department, and to learn a bit more about other characters as well. Kinue is very likeable in the show, offers many good comedic moments. Much better than The Devil Wears Prada.

	A light read

Basically, a "working girl" type of story. The tone is a bit similar to her Oishii Kankei. It's about an underdog working to gain acknowledgement from those around her along with a boost of self-confidence and a passion for her career. However, since this is about fashion, it reminded me a bit of the movie version of The Devil Wears Prada. The heroine is not very fashionable (for now) and the boss is a fashionista, maybe even a fashion nazi... If you liked the movie, I'm sure you'll like this particular manga.
