Comikey and Square Enix‘s Manga UP! Global service both publish the manga in English digitally. Manga UP! describes the story:
Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He’s cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?!
Kudo first posted the manga on their X/Twitter account in March 2019. The manga started serializing in Square Enix‘s Young Gangan magazine in December 2019. Square Enix published the manga’s eighth compiled book volume on August 23.
