The romantic comedy manga has been serialized in the magazine since its July 2019 issue, and its latest sixth tankobon volume is set to be released in Japan on August 25, 2021. Its story writer Wataru Hinekure was the winner of the first LINE Manga Indie Shueisha Girls Manga Grand Prix's special prize, while its illustrator Aruko is best known for her hit series Ore Monogatari!! / My Love Story!!, which also got its live-action film adaptation and TV anime adaptation in 2015.
