The manga launched in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2016. The "odd story between a physical ghost buster and his ghost roommate" centers on a young man who encounters the ghost of a young girl at a creepy hot spring guesthouse. Shueisha published the manga's eighth volume on November 2. According to the 50th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, the first eight volumes have more than 1.5 million copies in print.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the series and plans to release the first volume on March 6 as part of its new Ghost Ship mature reader imprint.
