Summary

PINK is considered by many as the first Japanese comic for women, the bible for josei manga covering many themes that still resonate with women today - work, family, finances and romance. However, Okazaki turns all of those themes on their heads, with bombastic visuals and a cast of unique characters. The narrative centres around the beautiful twenty-something Yumi. By day, Yumi works as a regular office job, but, by night, she works as a call-girl; she needs the money to make ends meet - and to feed her pet crocodile. So begins this thought provoking manga title
