Usagi originally began posting a web manga about cute girls living in an impoverished town on X (then known as Twitter) in February 2021. Shinya Kusaka, the series' editor, had previously collaborated with Usagi on crime books published by the company Saizusha. After Kusaka saw Usagi post two chapters of the manga, he was impressed by her work and offered to become her editor. After she accepted, he started working on the series from the sixth chapter. Usagi had been inspired to create the series after noticing that slice of life series tended to focus on happy lives and cheerful girls, and wanted to create a series that instead focused on the more impoverished parts of society. The series was inspired by her own upbringing in a stagnant rural town, with several chapters being based on real-life events.

The series is written and illustrated by Usagi, who began serializing it on her X account on February 28, 2021. Saizusha later began compiling the chapters into volumes, releasing the first volume on August 25, 2022. Eight volumes have been released as of August 25, 2025.

An original net anime (ONA) adaptation was announced during the "MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal" livestream event on June 19, 2026. It is produced by MAPPA and directed by Tokio Igarashi, and features scripts by Ryō Takada and character designs by Rio. The series is set to premiere worldwide on Netflix. The 2009 song "Milk" performed by Aiko was used in the series' teaser trailer.

The series collaborated with the retail chain Don Quijote in 2024, with merchandise being sold at the chain's stores.
