Watase's manga was previously adapted into a Japanese live-action television drama series in 2008 and a special in 2009. A Korean adaptation was reported in 2011, but it has not aired.

In North America, Viz Media serialized the manga in Shojo Beat magazine from its premiere issue in 2005 until the manga's ending in 2007.
