Viz Media announced on Wednesday that it has licensed Mari Okazaki's Will I Be Single Forever? (Zutto Dokushin de Iru Tsumori?) manga. The publisher will release the manga digitally on July 24.
Viz describes the manga:
Mami is 36 and unmarried, and the entire world seems to be telling her she must be miserable. But is she? Does she really need a ring on her finger to be happy when she has a job she loves and friends who support her? A collection of interconnected stories that explores the hazards and joys of unmarried life through the eyes of three single ladies.
Okazaki launched the manga in Shodensha's Feel Young magazine in November 2014, and ended it in October 2015. Shodensha published one compiled book volume for the manga.
Okazaki is best known for her workplace romance Suppli, which ran in Feel Young magazine from 2003 to 2009. The story revolves around Minami Fujii, a woman who discovers romantic opportunities at her job in an advertising agency after she splits up with her boyfriend. Tokyopop published five volumes of the series. The manga was adapted into a television drama in Japan in 2006.
Okazaki launched the Kashimashi Meshi manga in Feel Young in February 2016. Shodensha published the manga's first compiled book volume last September.
