• Portal — yes Otome no Teikoku is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Torajirō Kishi. It was first published as a one-shot in the 54th issue of Business Jump Special Edition BJ Soul (Shueisha) on June 30, 2010, and began as a regular serialization in Business Jump (published by the same company) in issue 17, 2010. After Business Jump was discontinued in 2011, the manga was transferred to its successor, Grand Jump, and serialized on Grand Jump WEB until chapter 162. On October 11, 2017, the transfer to Shōnen Jump+ was announced on the Grand Jump official website, and the series were serialized there since chapter 163 (released on November 22, 2017) until its final chapter, number 307, released on September 10, 2025.

The manga tells the story of Japanese female students and their lives outside of school and beyond, between laughter and friendships that will transform into something stronger.

In 2015, to commemorate the release of Volume 8, an animated promotional video was produced using original illustrations by Etsuko Sumimoto, the character designer for the anime Yurikuma Arashi. In 2016, a collaboration figure was released as part of The World of Isobelle Pascha, a line of girl figures produced and sold by ThreeA. The series was featured in all three installments (2016, 2017, and 2018) of Yuri Exhibition (Yuritenn), an event themed around "yuri" (girls' love) organized by Village Vanguard. These exhibitions included displays of reproduction artwork and the sale of exclusive merchandise. Regarding its serialization, author Torajirō Kishi revealed on Twitter at the time of Volume 12's release that "depending on how Volume 12 sells, the series might end with Volume 13." He later stated that the large amount of support that tweet received led to the series being transferred to Shōnen Jump+. Before the transfer, all 162 chapters published up to that point were made available for free on Shōnen Jump+ in batches of three chapters at a time (with the first day offering up to 60 chapters). Following the initial release on October 17, 2017, the title appeared in Twitter's trending topics. Episodes featuring the top three couples chosen in a pairing popularity poll were adapted into voice comics. Beginning April 30, 2021, these were released one episode at a time on the Jump Channel on YouTube.
