About the Manga
Mihara Kazuto began serializing this historical manga in Morning magazine back in March 2021. The story danced its way through six volumes, with the final volume hitting shelves in November 2022. For English-speaking fans, Kodansha USA licensed the series and published all six volumes digitally from August 2023 to August 2024. If you want to catch up before the anime airs, you can still find the chapters online.
