In September 2026, Kadokawa added five cast members and released a new teaser promotional video and third teaser visual. Kanon Takao plays Hazuki Ichise, Hana's twin sister. Hiroto Shimizu plays Nozomi Ichinomiya, Saku's younger brother. Yuzuki Tamukai voices Azuha, Hana's shikigami. Taihi Kimura and M.A.O play Aoi and Miyabi, two shikigami in human form created by Hana.

It has over 2.5 million copies in circulation, and a seventh volume was due on June 16, 2026. A manga adaptation by Odayaka began in March 2022. Yen Press publishes both the novels and the manga in English. The story follows Hana, an eighteen-year-old from a branch family of a barrier-weaving clan, who hides her powerful magic until clan head Saku seeks a bride strong enough to stand by his side.
