A sharp new comedy about female friendship from the creator of Princess Jellyfish!

A sharp new comedy about female friendship from the creator of Princess Jellyfish!

COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA

Rinko has done everything right. She hustled her way through her 20s to make it as a screenwriter, renting her own office in a trendy Tokyo neighborhood. Everything should have gone according to plan... So at 33, she can't help but lament the fact that her career's plateaued, she's still painfully single, and she spends most of her nights drinking with her two best friends in their favorite pub. One night, drunk and delusional, Rinko swears to get married by the time the Tokyo Olympics roll around in 2020. But finding a man--and love--may be a cutthroat, dirty job for a romantic at heart.

Praise for Tokyo Tarareba Girls 1

"I love [Tokyo Tarareba Girls] so much. I always come away schooled and inspired." -Sam Humphries (comics writer, Green Lanterns)
"Above all, a tribute to female friendship... [that] balances out the frequent bittersweet content with easy comedy. Anyone who enjoyed Bridget Jones's Diary or Sex and the City is likely to find this manga irresistible. Recommended." -Otaku USA Magazine
"Sharply funny, well-plotted, and empathic... if you are a fan of Princess Jellyfish you should be reading this immediately. Grade A." -Taykobon
"This fizzy, fast-paced comedy is every bit as good as Higashimura's Princess Jellyfish, deftly mixing wacky misunderstandings and witty banter with moments of genuine rue and self-reflection." -The Manga Critic
