About the Manga
Comikey and Square Enix's Manga UP! Global service publish the manga digitally in English. Manga UP! describes the story as follows:

"Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He's cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?!"

Makoto Kudo originally posted the manga on X (formerly Twitter) in March 2019. It began serialization in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine in December 2019. The manga's eighth compiled volume was released on August 23.
