Given the talented individuals such as Yumiko Kuga, Takumi Onitani, and Tsunetaka Ema are handling the backdrop and photography, the visuals should be nothing short of breathtaking.

The tale initially began on Kakuyomu in the year 2019, carrying a slightly varied title, and later garnered attention from Kadokawa in 2021. Penned by the author Saka and beautifully illustrated by Chorefuji, this light novel was honored with an award in the Dengeki no Shin Bungei contest.
