Cinderella Closet (Japanese: シンデレラクロゼット, Hepburn: Shinderera Kurozetto) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Wakana Yanai.

Synopsis

When Haruka Fukunaga transfers from her rural school to university in Tokyo, she has high hopes for student life. But Tokyo is expensive, and so she has to work alongside her studies, leaving her no time for partying or romance. Her part-time job at a local bar, however, introduces her to Kurotaki, with whom she falls in love, even though he's already in a relationship. Then, over after-work drinks, she learns that he's broken up with his girlfriend and arranges to meet him for her birthday. When Haruka decides to get dressed up and buy some new clothes, she's overwhelmed by the choices. She's never paid much attention to fashion or makeup before. Then she happens to run into her beautiful neighbor, Hikaru, who gives her a hand. Hikaru is a makeup artist and does Haruka's makeup for their date. Unfortunately, Kurotaki forgets this and goes out for drinks with her and some colleagues instead. He turns out to be different from what she had imagined and Hikaru also reveals some surprising sides to her.
