Crunchyroll is also digitally publishing the manga in English and describes the story as an otherworldly newly-wed romantic comedy. The manga, created by the duo Maybe (known for Dusk maiden of Amnesia and to the abandoned Sacred Beasts), made its debut in Square Enix’s Monthly Big Gangan magazine in March 2014. With 13 compiled book volumes published by Square Enix, the manga’s 10th volume hinted at its approaching conclusion in January 2021 and was confirmed to be entering its climax in August 2021.
