Takao Maki (Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls, Laughing Under the Clouds) is designing the characters, and Norihito Sumitomo (Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Z Kai) is composing the music. sumika will perform the opening theme song "Equal," and Little Glee Monster will perform the ending song "Kimi ni Todoku Made."

Adachi launched the manga series in Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine in 2012, and the 14th compiled book volume shipped on February 12. The series has more than 7.5 million copies in print (including digital sales).
