The anime’s staff includes:
The manga centers on Chanel and her friends, whose hometown has an environment that gathers many evils in this world: violence, drugs, poverty, and discrimination, to name a few. The upperclassmen at Chanel’s school have tattoos everywhere, are quick to get violent, and are heavy drinkers. Can Chanel and her friend Chihiro survive in this dark stew of a hometown?
usagi first launched the manga on X (formerly Twitter). Saizusha published the manga’s first compiled volume in August 2022, and released the eighth volume in August 2025.
