The series was originally created to promote the collector's edition release of the main series.[2] Additionally, Takaya stated that the main characters from the original series, Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo, would not appear in the story.[2]
Written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya, the manga began publication on Hakusensha's HanaLaLa Online manga website on September 4, 2015.[3] In August 2017, the series was moved to Manga Park following HanaLaLa Online's discontinuation.[4] The series was originally set to be twelve chapters and three tankōbon volumes.[4][5] Following the twelfth chapter's publication, it was announced that a one-shot by Takaya was in development.[6] This one-shot became the series' thirteenth and final chapter, which was released on April 20, 2020, in three parts.[7] The series' individual chapters were collected into a total of four tankōbon volumes.[8]
In November 2017, Yen Press announced that they licensed the series for English publication.[9]
Overall critical reception was mixed. Koiwai, Gathea, and Einah from Manga News offered praise for the artwork and characters, though they felt the story was a bit slow.[10] Hilary Leung from CBR praised the characters, though felt the story was not fully fleshed-out.[11] Kory Cerjak from The Fandom Post praised the artwork and characters, though he felt the overall story was a bit underwhelming.[12] Sean Gaffney from A Case Suitable for Treatment praised the new characters, though felt the story was boring.[13] Faustine Lillaz from Planete BD felt the manga was a solid return to the series for hard-core fans, though she also criticized the plot as thin.[14]
Manga artist Mengo Yokoyari praised the new characters and their designs.[15] At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Brigid Alverson picked the series as the "Worst Manga for Anyone, Any Age".[16]
