Those around her can't hide their surprise and wonderment at this 180°change... But, Yumeko's new hyper-positive attitude starts to change her surroundings, too. Worries and complexes can affect anyone, and Yumeko will chop right through those of her various supporting characters!! In love, work, friendship... And an attempted murder case?! This frenzied romantic comedy will leave you bubbling with energy!
mamakari launched the manga in 2019, and NTT Solmare published the manga's seventh compiled book volume digitally on February 3. The manga inspired a live-action series adaptation in November 2022.
