This is slapstick comedy, manga style. Klutzy, small-town-girl Haruo goes to Tokyo for college. She promises herself to remain a virgin until she returns home to her high school boyfriend, now a farmer. After she sees a ghost in the dorm, she moves in with her friend Aki, who is a ginza girl at Club 9, where her job is to pay attention to bar patrons-lighting cigarettes and laughing at jokes. Haruo needs to make some money, so she soon joins Aki at Club 9, where her naive charm is a hit with both the patrons and the club's madam. Despite the somewhat mature subject matter, the broad humor makes this volume pretty tame, and the light nudity is in keeping with the character of Haruo as a lovable klutz-she sees the ghost in the shower and runs out. Haruo speaks in a Southern twang, with y'alls and gits that don't really fit with the Japanese setting, but does its job in playing her for a rube in the city. This is for an older audience than Kobayashi's cat manga What's Michael (Dark Horse), but high schoolers will find Haruo as charming and funny as the customers at Club 9 do.
