Viz Media is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story of the first volume:
After leaving behind his image as a quiet nerd, Yukiya's ready to break hearts and take names with the ultimate high school glow-up. Well, he's really just got one girl in his sights—his best friend, Miku! Using her favorite shojo manga as his weapon, he's prepared to pin her to the wall and gaze at her with the perfect smolder! Will his advances get her heart racing? Or will Yukiya end up making a fool of himself?
Dōmoto launched the manga on the Sunday Webry website in 2021. Shogakukan published the manga's seventh volume on June 18. Viz Media released the sixth volume in English on May 13.
Seven Seas Entertainment has released Dōmoto's Necromance manga in English. Dōmoto also drew the manga adaptation of the Girlish Number project.
