Kodansha USA Publishing publishes the manga in English digitally and physically. The company describes the story:

Mona is the cutest girl in school, and she knows it. In fact, she’s worked hard to make her high school debut successful. But no matter what she does, she can’t seem to catch the eye of stone-cold stoic Medaka Kuroiwa—but she’s not about to give up that easy. Medaka, on the other hand, has been raised at a temple and was told to never become close to women. Who will win in this heated battle of wills?

Kuze (Tokyo Ravens: Sword of Song) first published the manga as a one-shot story in Kodansha‘s Weekly Shōnen Magazine in December 2020. The manga started its full serialization in the magazine in May 2021. Kodansha published the manga’s first compiled book volume in Japan in August 2021, and the 16th volume will release on October 17.
