Chikyu No Osakana Ponchan writes and illustrates the manga which was serialized online via Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha’s Comic Ruelle from June 2022 to August 2024. Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the first volume of the manga in English in Spring 2026. They describe it as follows:
What would you do if your crush had ear-splitting farts?
For Aimi and Nami, the answer is to cry tears of joy for being able to pinpoint at a distance the object of their affections, Kirio, from a single toot. These are the kinds of deep, philosophical questions the two friends/rivals in romance pose to each other to prove their love for this boy who hardly seems to know they exist. That won’t stop them from conducting nightly rituals to entice him into their dreams, though, or listing out what exactly they like about him, down to the very last organ. But when push comes to shove, will they choose their hilarious friendship over a shot at love?
Get ready for a rip-roaring romcom about the friendship behind what is fair in love and war! A must-read for fans of Nichijou and City!
