Rei Sawamura (left in image above) plays Keito, while Yurai Beppu (Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, right) plays Chihiro Kashiwagi. Shū Watanabe plays Chihiro's older brother.

Tomoyuki Furumaya (Candy Color Paradox live-action series) is directing episodes 1-5, 7, and 8 of the series, while Takahiro Komura is directing episode 6 of the series. Furumaya is also penning the scripts with assistance from Miako Tadano. Kōji Endō is composing the music.

KUMA releases the manga in English, and it describes the story:

Dazed and confused, Chihiro awakes on a pile of garbage with memories of wedding still fresh in his mind. When out of the blue a young man named Keito appears before him. Instantly, he then recalls the night he spent with this person. The booze! The hotel! The punch to his face!

Chihiro may not have a place to call home currently and Keito may not be a good person by any means, but maybe the two of them could be happy together.

Tanaka launched the manga in Takeshobo's Qpa magazine in January 2020, and ended the manga with its third compiled book volume in October 2023.

SuBLime previously released Tanaka's Yarichin Bitch-bu and Escape Journey manga in English. Yarichin Bitch-bu inspired an OVA adaptation in 2018.
