Murata launched the manga in Shueisha's Ribon magazine in December 2015. Shueisha published the manga's first compiled book volume in May 2016, and will publish the manga's 25th volume on April 24. The manga now has a cumulative circulation of over 12 million copies as of February.

Yen Press publishes the manga in English and will release the fifth volume on March 19. Yen Press describes the story:

Middle school left Uka Ishimori with nothing but scars—to the point where she's forgotten how to laugh or cry or even say “hello.” But a chance reencounter with a boy with lemon-colored hair invigorates her, giving her hope that maybe, just maybe, life can be that much sweeter if she finally reaches out for help.

The manga inspired a live-action film adaptation in 2021.
