Formally a doujinshi posted on Twitter, the series has been officially published in Japan by Kadokawa since April 2023 where it has gone on to earn critical acclaim. In 2023 it was ranked #2 in the 23rd annual Da Vinci "Book of the Year" list and ranked #2 for top manga for female readers in the 2024 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi!
Yen Press has been releasing the series in English since October 2024 and just released the second volume on February 18th. They describe the story as follows:
Fashionable and upbeat high schooler Aya falls head over heels for an employee at a local CD shop. He's got an air of mystery about him, great style, and an impeccable music taste. Little does she know—this supposedly male employee is actually her female classmate Mitsuki! Mitsuki generally keeps to herself, but since her seat is right next to Aya's, she can't help but be extremely aware of the other's crush. Revealing the truth is out of the question for Mitsuki—but perhaps getting closer to Aya wouldn't be so bad…
