Shall We Take Our Time to Love?) has released a promotional video featuring the anime's theme song, "Virgin Moonlight." Yoshiki Nakajima, the voice actor of the main character Soushi Sazanami, will perform the theme song in-character and also serve as the narrator for the video.

The manga, which launched in March 2021 on the Comic Cmoa website, follows 26-year-old virgin office worker Nagisa as she enters a relationship with yakuza member Sazanami after a chance encounter during a trip.
