The August issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine revealed on July 4 that Yo Asami's manga adaptation of Natsu Hyūga's You Can’t Bluff the Sharp-Eyed Sister (Seijo ni Uso wa Tsūjinai) ended its current "series" in the issue, and will start a new series sometime soon, with the magazine's next issue revealing when the manga will return.

Kodansha USA is publishing the manga in English, and will release the first volume on October 21. Kodansha USA describes the manga:

In a sleepy countryside church, Chloe plays the part of a prim and naïve novice, studying to become a priestess. But when night falls, she sneaks out in disguise to win big money at cards!

Despite her best efforts, word gets around, and one day a handsome young holy knight named Heraldo—known as a rising star in the capital—arrives to enlist her help. A murder two years ago threatens the stability of the kingdom, and Heraldo thinks this card shark in sister's clothes can solve it using her Gift—the rare blessing that allows someone to use magic. Little does Heraldo know, there's nothing supernatural about Chloe's winning streak. She's just got a quick wit, and sharp eyes! Will that be enough to survive the den of devils that is the royal palace?

Yo Asami launched the manga in Monthly Shonen Magazine in March 2023. Kodansha published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on February 17, and will publish the fifth volume on September 17.

Frontier Works' Arian Rose imprint published the novel by Hyūga (The Apothecary Diaries) with illustrations by Chiho Shinishi in May 2022.

Asami launched the manga adaptation of Takaya Kagami's Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose - Catastrophe at 16 (Owari no Seraph: Ichinose Guren, 16-sai no Catastrophe) light novel series in Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine in June 2017. The series ended in February 2022. Asami also drew the illustrations for Kagami's Seraph of the End: Guren Ichinose: Resurrection at Nineteen (Owari no Seraph: Ichinose Guren, 19-sai no Resurrection light novels.
