In this first manga adaptation, many new original comedic exchanges between characters and scenes unique to the manga will be added, which were not present in the original novel. Fans can enjoy this work, filled with new appeal, on "JUMP TOON" ahead of others.

Additionally, to commemorate the start of the series, a limited-time campaign will run from October 6, allowing readers to access almost all chapters for free.
