Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga digitally and in print in English, and it describes the first volume:
Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and, to Himari's surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what “love” really means…

Kodansha USA Publishing released the fifth volume digitally in May 2022 and in print in July 2022.

Takeshima launched the manga in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in 2019, and Ichijinsha will release the seventh volume on January 18.
