Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga volumes digitally in English under the name I See Your Face, Turned Away. Kodansha USA has released the manga’s first four volumes, and it describes the manga’s story below:
“One might call Hikari extraordinarily ordinary. One day, she takes up a new hobby—imagining what a romance would be like between her pretty friend Mari and the cute guy in their class, Ohtani. It’s all in harmless fun, until the roles start to get tangled in Hikari’s mind. Does she really have to be just the best friend in this love story? And just who is on Ohtani’s mind when his eyes drift away…?“
