The anime adaptation is based on the romantic comedy manga by Ran Kuze, which began serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine on May 26, 2021 and has released 15 tankobon volumes as of July 2024, with a 16th volume due out on October 17, 2024. The manga originally began as a 2020 one-shot.
Kodansha USA releases the Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms manga in English, describing the synopsis as:
Mona is the cutest girl in school, and she knows it. In fact, she’s worked hard to make her high school debut successful. But no matter what she does, she can’t seem to catch the eye of stone-cold stoic Medaka Kuroiwa — but she’s not about to give up that easy. Medaka, on the other hand, has been raised at a temple and was told to never become close to women. Who will win in this heated battle of wills?
