Eri Ejima’s original manga, which was previously adapted into a live-action web drama in May 2023, has been serialized in Monthly Comic Flapper since January 2020 and currently spans eight collected volumes. Seven Seas Entertainment publishes an official English version and describes the story:
Kuromi Girls’ Academy is a refined, elegant school that expects the very best in deportment from its young ladies. Aya got into this peerless rich-girls’ institution on a scholarship, and hopes to grow as lovely as her fellow student and idol Shirayui. But Shirayui hides a terrible secret: she’s a trash-talking, combo-chaining, newbie-stomping, ruthless hardcore gamer! Could a mutual indulgence in no-holds-barred video game combat grow into a deeper rapport between these two girls?
