Segawa launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine in June 2020 and ended it in November 2021. Kadokawa published the manga's third compiled book volume in January 2022.
Segawa previously published the supernatural action manga Ga-Rei from 2006 to 2010 and Kadokawa published the series in 12 compiled volumes. The now defunct JManga app previously distributed the series in English, and now all volumes are available in English on Kadokawa's BookWalker service.
The manga inspired the Ga-Rei: Zero prequel television anime in 2008 and Funimation released the series on home video in North America.
The manga creator then launched the "afterschool psychic action" series titled Tokyo ESP in Monthly Shōnen Ace in 2010, and ended it in July 2016. Kadokawa published 16 compiled book volumes for Tokyo ESP. Vertical published the manga in two-in-one omnibus volumes in North America. An anime adaptation of the manga premiered in July 2014.
