Inoue originally began sharing this exciting story on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website back in May 2020, quickly garnering a dedicated following. Recognizing its potential, Overlap began publishing the series under their Overlap Novels imprint in September 2021, featuring enchanting illustrations by Kururi. The light novel series has been consistently popular, with its eighth volume having shipped on August 25.
Not long after, a manga adaptation also took off! Maro Aoiro started illustrating the manga on the Comic Gardo website in August 2021. This visual interpretation has been just as successful, with Overlap releasing its seventh volume in April 2025.
Global Fans Rejoice: English Release Confirmed!
