Following the completion of her previous work, Sumomomo Momomo, Ohtaka began releasing the series in 2009. The final chapter was published in October 2017, with the 37th and conclusive volume released the following month by Shogakukan. In 2014, the manga was honored with the Boys’ Manga award at the Shogakukan Manga Awards.
