Office Lady




The OL phenomenon is changing as more and more Japanese women pursue higher education, especially abroad. Additionally, more businesses are being started by female entrepreneurs, who may be choosing to strike out on their own as an alternative to the traditional, conservative, male-dominated atmosphere of established businesses.

OL Stock Character s are frequently found in Josei Manga and Anime , often portrayed as clever and wistful individuals bored with their jobs, overpressured by their families, and facing psychological issues, though they are usually attractive. The manga and anime series '' Ebichu '', for example, features an office lady character, appropriately named OL, and the warrior characters Linna Yamazaki from '' Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 '' and Arisa and Kyouko from '' All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku '' have day jobs as office ladies.
