Furthermore, Zappon released Shin no Nakama on the Shosetsuka ni Naro in October 2017, where it still continues. Kadokawa began publishing the story with illustrations by Yasumo in June 2018. Masahiro Ikeno launched a manga adaptation of the novel in Kadokawa's Shonen Ace magazine in May 2018 , with 25 volumes and more than 1 million copies in circulation.
