About the work
The
original manga, written by Norishiro-chan and illustrated
by Sakana Uozumi, began serialization in Comic Zenon magazine
in August 2021. The Coamix publishing house published volume
11 on October 20. The story plays with the fantasy (or reality?) of the
relationship between popular "Gal" style girls and otaku boys, a
trope that has gained a lot of popularity recently. Do you think Gals can
really be kind to otakus?
