The volume will be available at bookstores nationwide (excluding some stores), online retailers, and various e-book platforms including Amazon. Additionally, another title represented by indent as original agent, 'The Doomed Fortune-Telling Lady with One Year Left to Live Is Doted on by the Emperor Rumored to Be Ruthless—His True Feelings Are Too Sweet' (Art: Aznosuke, Original: Reina Takayagi, Label: FLOS COMIC, Publisher: KADOKAWA Co., Ltd.), will also release its first volume on June 17, 2026.
