The Anime + Manga Double Launch

This isn’t the franchise’s first manga venture either. A manga adaptation by Itaru Bonnoki titled Needy Girl Overdose: Run with My Sick has been serialising on Akita Shoten’s Manga Cross website since March 2023. Wikipedia The new 4-panel format adds a lighter, more comedic lens to KAngel’s chaotic world.
