Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the original manga digitally and in print in English, and it describes the first compiled book volume:
Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and, to Himari's surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what “love” really means…
Takeshima launched the manga in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime magazine in 2019. Ichijinsha published the manga's ninth volume on March 18.
The manga's anime adaptation premiered on April 13 on TV Asahi's NUMAnimation programming block after a delay. HIDIVE is streaming the series as it airs.
