The LDK manga began in 2009 in Bessatsu Friend by Ayu Watanabe and it had a successful run with twenty-four volumes total when it wrapped up in 2017. Kodansha Comics began bringing the series out for English readers in 2015 and the property also inspired two live-action films with a different cast in 2014 and 2019.

It debuted in the March issue of Bessatsu Friend with a story that moves up a few years, with the leads being 23. Now, with two compiled volumes for the new run out there, the series has been picked up by KManga for English release here.
