Xfolio Shuppan published the manga digitally in individual chapter form and in compiled volume form. The compiled volumes have three volumes.

The manga inspired three live-action shorts that Yorita posted on her YouTube channel with English subtitles.

The digital and physical copies of the English edition of Now No One Lurks Beneath the Snow: A Queer Fantasy Romance will launch in January. ZorritoIV is translating and Red String Translations is lettering the English edition.

The manga creator describes its story:

I was taken in by a family of farmers in a snowy village but treated horribly by them.
However, fate had different plans in store for me. One day, I was ordered to visit a residence deep in the mountains. I was to deliver carrots, of all things, to this residence that everyone was reluctant to visit.

And there, a mysterious, beautiful, and wise individual, who called the snowy manor their home, awaited me.

Her name was Kay. She was the first person who told me that she liked me, despite everyone else around me treating me as if they despised me.

While Kay does have her shortcomings in her selfish attitude and penchant for lying, I find those shortcomings to be rather touching.

Yet one day, after many visits, Kay suddenly told me to never visit her again.

When I pried further, she revealed that she was being forced into an arranged marriage.

Despite her insistence, I couldn’t accept this reality. I felt that I needed to tell Kay how I felt.
“I love you with every fiber of my being, Kay.”
“I want us to overcome this struggle and then be together, Kay.”

So, once again, I climb the snowy mountain. However, this time, I go not to deliver carrots, but rather, to confess my love for Kay.
