The campaign follows an April 1 Kickstarter for the first volume's English edition, which raised 8,774 euros against a 3,200 euro goal, with physical rewards shipping from September 8. The new round carries a higher target and a longer product line behind it: a hardcover omnibus of volumes one and two, and two further deluxe volumes planned beyond that. Rewards include an original shikishi art board and art prints. The series ran on Shogakukan's Manga ONE platform, where the serialization began in 2020 and the fifth and final compiled volume shipped in August 2021.
