Shueisha‘s MANGA Plus service publishes the manga digitally, and Viz Media publishes the manga digitally and physically in English. Viz describes the manga’s story: 

A powerful spirit awaits the right human to free her—and she’s ready for some PVP!

For as long as he can remember, Gakuro Yajima’s been able to see spirits—beings that are drawn to human sadness and anger. A fateful encounter with a quirky pop culture–loving spirit named Nue marks the start of Gakuro’s spirit-exorcist adventure!

Outcast Gakuro Yajima’s only goal in life has been to avoid spirits and try to live in peace. One day, he accidentally enters a sealed room and meets Nue, a quirky spirit who asks him to defeat the evil ones roaming his school. Gakuro is reluctant to take her up on the offer, but the spirits won’t be waiting patiently for him to make up his mind…

Kawae launched the manga in Shueisha‘s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2023. Shueisha published the manga’s 16th compiled book volume on September 4. Viz Media published the eighth volume in English on September 1. 

The manga topped AnimeJapan 2025’s “Manga We Want to See Animated” poll.
