Animate International has licensed the manga and it is available in English digitally on multiple platforms. Manga Planet also releases the manga digitally under the futekiya (BL) genre. Manga Planet describes the story in the manga:
Beauty consultant Natsume Mamiya is forced to work with his junior Touma Sahashi. On top of that, Touma—who has no respect for his work or for Tsume—has usurped her throne as the bestseller! One day, Touma discovers that Natsume is gay and uses this to his advantage in a power play, forcing Narutome to become his friend in exchange for benefits! Enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest cosmetics counter ever and prepare to swoon! The bonus story and bonus chapter feature even more sexy kissing… and a steamy, secret sex scene!
Narashima launched the manga in Libre Publishing's Be-Boy Magazine in 2017. Libre Publishing published the manga's first compiled book volume in August 2018 and the eighth volume on February 8.
The manga won the BL category of the 2021 NTT Solmare Digital Comic Awards.
