Shimazaki and Hama's The Necromancer Maid manga serialized in Gangan Online in April 2019 to July 2021 for three volumes. Square Enix's Manga UP! Global manga service publishes the series in English. Manga UP! Global also publishes Shimazaki and Kitora's Nina is Plotting Daddy's Death three-volume manga in English.
