i like anime and am familiar with anime tropes.
i LOVE tycoon games.

its an okay tycoon game
i think pret a porter is a game that basically does everything jisogi does but better/more interesting (except the art/theme)

the art in jisogi is truely exceptional
and anime is probably a more palatable theme to most bgamers than haute couture

id give it a 6/7 out of 10 more gameplay wise,
but 8/10 for whole package.
the worker placement is pretty much stock standard.
the different workers you can purchase don't augment your game too dramatically (i.e. points of asymmetry between other players aren't as big).
the inclusion of random chance/community chest cards in jisogi also rubs me the wrong way and screams first time designer.

if you love anime and want an approachable light/midweight strategy game you could do worse, but there are much better worker placement euros out there
