Initially published as a web novel in 2021, the story evolved into light novels and, finally, into manga in Square Enix’s Young Gangan magazine, establishing itself as a success in the genre.
The series concludes after the publication of the sixth physical volume, which hit Japanese shelves in June of last year. Meanwhile, for fans around the world, including Brazil, reading remains available in English on Square Enix’s global service, Manga UP!.
