Oh, Super GALS! I've seen merchandise and stuff about it, I haven't read it myself. But, I think it's about this one girl name Kotobuki, Ran (I think in her teenage years?) and her friends. It's just about everyday life and Ran's adventures/experiences. It mostly has to do with fashion and love. I do know that the setting takes place in Shibuya, the very popular county/district in Japan where a lot of young and hip teens hang out. Shibuya is also the place where a lot of shopping places are found as well as cafes, music stores, video game stores, etc. An appropriate setting, if you ask me. 
As for Ran and her friends, their outfits/fashion style is what, I think, one would call a ko-gal in Japanese. A ko-gal is a girl (not a woman) who is up on the latest fashion trends, gets her nails done at the priciest manicure shops, hair styled and colored, the whole she-bang of "youthful girliness". They always have to look their best when they go out.
The manga is extremely popular in Japan, that they even created an anime. The anime is scheduled to arrive in the US in September.
That's all the information I know. I hope this helps.
