The manga is licensed for an English-language release in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment.
The story follows students at Kuromi Girls' Academy, a prestigious all-girls school where video games are banned, as they secretly pursue their passion for competitive fighting games and enter a major tournament. The series has been adapted into other media. A live-action web drama adaptation aired from May 19 to July 7, 2023, running for eight episodes on the Lemino streaming service.

Retailer descriptions consistently associate Ejima with yuri manga, and customer reviews of her work often highlight her expressive character art and the integration of fighting game terminology and culture into her storytelling.
