Tomato Soup launched the manga on Akita Shoten's Souffle website in September 2021. Akita Shoten published the manga's fifth compiled book volume on April 16.

The manga was nominated for the 16th Manga Taisho Awards in 2023, and was nominated once again for the Manga Taisho Awards the following year in 2024. The manga is nominated for the Best New Manga category in the second American Manga Awards, which will announce its winners at a ceremony on August 21.
