Yen Press publishes the light novels in English, and the third volume shipped on May 20. Yen Press describes the story:
Deep in the countryside, Minato Kusunoki is left in charge of a terrifying house overflowing with evil spirits—or at least, it was full until his extraordinary ability cleared them all out! Instead, a procession of unique and peculiar gods is drawn to the comfort of the purified Kusunoki residence, and Minato spends his days relaxing in the company of his spiritual neighbors. What else lies in store for Minato as he lives peacefully surrounded by gods?

Enju launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō ("Let's Be Novelists") website in April 2021, and it began serialization on the Kakuyomu website in December that same year. Kadokawa published the light novels' first volume with illustration by ox in November 2021, and the 10th volume will ship on July 17.

Anzai launched the manga adaptation on Kadokawa's ComicWalker website in November 2021. Kadokawa published the manga's first compiled book volume in August 2022, and the fourth volume on December 26.
