This year's 11th issue of Futabasha's Manga Action magazine announced on Tuesday that Tsumi Ito's My Dear Detective: Mitsuko's Case Files (Kimi wa Nazotoki no Ma Cherie) manga will move to Futabasha's Web Action manga website. Ito stated on X/Twitter that the manga will continue “around” August on Web Action.
Digital manga service Azuki licensed the series for digital distribution in July 2022. Seven Seas licensed the manga and will release the manga's first print compilation in October. Seven Seas describes the manga:
Hoshino Mitsuko is a determined and hard-working woman living in the 1930s, where career women were rare and looked down upon. Despite rampant sexism and pressure to “stay at home”, she is determined to prove herself as a successful detective at all costs. One day, she is approached by the handsome waitress Yoshida Saku, who introduces Mitsuko to her first solo case. Together, the two work closely to solve the mystery, and Mitsuko finds Saku quite capable—but curious—and takes him on as her new assistant. Can this duo solve the cases and chaotic atmosphere of the Showa era?
Ito launched the series on Manga Action in May 2021. Futabasha published the manga's sixth compiled book volume on March 28.
