Gaiden Hana x Hana in the magazine's next issue on June 4. Ishiwata had stated on X/Twitter on May 1 that he was writing a short spinoff series that would be published in June.

Ishiwata launched the Odds VS! manga in Manga Action in 2014, and ended it in November 2023. Futabasha published the manga 31st and final compiled book volume on January 26.
