Shueisha's Cocohana magazine
revealed in its September issue that mangaka Mihona Fujii will
release a new work titled Shukujo no Jōken (translated
as A Lady's Conditions). This new series will debut in the next
edition of the magazine, available on August 28, and is a
short-lived romantic comedy.
A
long-awaited return
Fujii is
widely recognized for her iconic manga GALS!, which was serialized
in Ribon magazine between 1998 and 2002. The work consisted
of 10 compilation volumes published by Shueisha, and all were
published in English by CMX Manga.
The
popularity of GALS! led to the production of an animated
adaptation under the title Super GALS!, which ran for 52
episodes and premiered in 2001. This series was originally distributed
by ADV Films in six DVD volumes between 2003 and 2004, and later re-released in
full collections in 2005, 2007, 2010, and 2016.
An
active and constant trajectory
In November
2019, Mihona Fujii resumed her universe with the sequel GALS!! (this
time with two exclamation points), published on Shueisha's Manga me app.
This sequel concluded in December 2022, with its fifth and final volume published
in March 2023.
With the
release of Shukujo no Jōken, fans of Mihona Fujii will be able to
enjoy a new romantic proposal that promises to maintain the fresh and
entertaining style that has always characterized the author.
