Mikami and Chigusa launched the project on X/Twitter on January 24 earlier this year. The project is serialized as a manga on the project's X/Twitter account, while the project's Note page publishes both the manga and an accompanying serialized story. Mikami pens the story, while Chigusa draws the art for the project
The yuri project centers on a 400-year-old vampire named Ruruna, and a human named Wakana. Ruruna has just fed on Wakana, the first time she has sucked a human's blood in her 400 years of living. While she styles herself a queen of the night, entrancing Wakana under her charm, Ruruna is flustered at how forward Wakana is in giving herself to her new master.
Mikami published the first light novel volume of There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless... (Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Naijan, Muri Muri! Muri Janakatta!? or WATANARE) under Shueisha's Dash X Bunko label in February 2020, with illustrations by Eku Takushima. Shueisha published the sixth novel volume in November 2023.
