Nimaru launched the light novel series with illustrations by Ui Shigure in June 2019, and Kadokawa's Dengeki Bunko imprint published the sixth volume on February 10 with a drama CD. Ryō Itō has been serializing a main manga adaptation in Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Alive magazine since November 2019, and Kadokawa published the second volume on February 10 with another drama CD.
