Manga author Tayama started the K-pop manga in November 2020 on the Line Manga service, and Shinchosha released eight manga volumes digitally and four tankoubon volumes in print. The first digital volume was released in May 2021, and the ninth digital volume will be released on December 9th, 2025.
The manga’s fifth volume is scheduled for release in print on December 9th, 2025.
Viz Media publishes the manga digitally and in print in English under the Girl Crush name, and it will release the manga’s fourth volume on December 9th, 2025 and the fifth volume on February 10th, 2026. Viz Media describes the manga story below:
“Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realized that the most effective way to protect herself wasn’t hiding from the other kids—it was being the best at everything! After years of armoring herself with excellence, Tenka lives safely atop her cool-girl pedestal, admired and idolized by everyone. But her flawless composure is suddenly shaken by a very average schoolmate’s impressively big dreams. At first Tenka is scornful of Erian Sato’s ambition of becoming a K-pop idol, but the other girl’s passion is so irresistible that Tenka soon finds herself with idol dreams of her own!”
