Plot/Story
Fergus is an apprentice fashion designer who hates his life. His master is a drunk, the love of his life is a street whore, and the only model willing to buy his clothes is some fat dude who uses drugs. While attending to his "model" at a game of War-King, a competition of beauty and fighting prowess, Fergus is treated to the sight of a real fashion model who easily dispenses of Fergus' model. Fergus then sinks into deeper despair now knowing the huge gap that lies between him and the top brands. To make matters worse, his master collapses and is hospitalized that same day. Just when he wonders if life can get any worse, fate conveniently presents to him a long-lost twin sister, Jennifer.

Characters
All of the characters are very unique-looking; though their attitudes are a bit on the predictable. Fortunately, there seems to be no end to the incessant stream of characters introduced in Cloth Road, so grab a fork and dig in.

Drawing Style
Okama's art is simply gorgeous. I sound like a pansy. But it's true.

Enjoyment
If Cloth Road offered no comedic moments, and had no action, I would probably not enjoy it at all. Thank God, that is not the case.

Overall
I love this series. Why wouldn't I?
