If It's You, I Might Try Falling in Love was written and illustrated by Maru Kubota. It was serialized digitally on the manga mobile app Manga Park from April 30, 2021 to May 8, 2026. The chapters were later released in eight bound volumes by Hakusensha under the Hanamaru Comics imprint. On August 24, 2024, Yen Press announced at Anime NYC 2024 that they were licensing the series in English for North American distribution. In 2022, Kubota stated through an interview with Chil Chil that the story was originally set around childhood friends where the seme was younger, but she changed the setting after she felt that she would be able to draw "lots of things" if the characters were not familiar with each other. She enjoyed drawing the food in the series despite its difficulties, and she stated that she wanted to try the food and get to know its taste before drawing it. She would also imagine the taste of food she could not eat. As the story took place in a real-life location, Kubota paid particular attention to the location so that the characters would seem as if they were actually living there.

An audio drama starring Yuma Uchida as Ryuuji and Kōhei Amasaki as Amane was released on Manga Park.
