Shinsaka and Kumeta launched the manga in Nihonbungeisha's Weekly Manga Goraku magazine in September 2016. Nihonbungeisha published the manga's seventh compiled book volume on July 27, and will ship the eighth volume on November 9. Shinsaka writes the manga while Kumeta draws the art.
Production I.G launched the Tate Anime app in June 2017 and it ended service on May 31. The app offered short (about three-minute) anime that update on weekdays, and each series had 10 episodes. The anime was presented vertically for smartphones. Production I.G rebranded the app as Anime Beans in June, and it no longer features exclusively vertical anime.
