Overview

From the pen of Moyoco Anno comes a stunning tale of self-image and self-loathing. In Clothes Called Fat details the lives of young women earnestly revealing the struggles women may have with their bodies and sexuality. Noko appears to be living a great life, she's got a good job and a loving boyfriend, but beneath a thin veneer is a young woman who is struggling with her self-image and self-confidence as she fights to keep her weight down. To Noko, being 5 pounds overweight means being miles away from happiness in her lovelife and in her work-place. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Synopsis 日本語

肥満気味のOL・のこは、恋人の斉藤を同僚のマユミに寝取られたことから「痩せればきれいになれる、痩せれば幸せになれる」と思い、謎の老人から与えられた大金でエステに通い始める。しかし同僚の仕事のミスを被らされた挙句、陰湿なパワハラを受け、斉藤との関係も悪化。そのストレスで食欲を抑え切れず過食嘔吐に陥る。かくして病的なまでの痩身となったのこだが、状況は却って悪くなる一方だった。
