The Good Night World anime is based on Uru Okabe’s manga of the same name. It was serialized in Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday website and MangaONE service from December 2015 to January 2017. As part of the anime adaptation announcement, a prequel manga titled Good Night World End will begin serialization on MangaONE starting on August 1.
