Seven Seas Entertainment releases the manga and describes the story:
Soara is a young orphan girl who was raised by knights and trained to battle the monsters that constantly attacked their kingdom. But by the time Soara is ready to join the fight herself, peace has been declared and her blade is no longer needed. Searching for a new home and a new purpose, Soara stumbles across Kirik the dwarf, leader of the Monster Architects. Suddenly, instead of fighting monsters, Soara finds herself working with Kirik to build comfortable homes for them! In the process, will she discover a new home and family for herself?
Yamaji launched the manga on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry website in November 2021. Shogakukan published the manga’s first compiled book volume in May 2022, and will release the seventh volume on August 10. Seven Seas released the sixth volume in English on May 26.
