Initially, Mika Yamamori wrote and released the In the Clear Moonlit Dusk manga in the Dessert magazine in 2020. Kodansha is publishing the series and will publish the ninth volume on May 13. All volumes are available to purchase via Kodansha’s official website. The website describes the In the Clear Moonlit Dusk manga as follows:
Yoi Takiguchi has long legs, a deep voice, and a handsome face…in other words, Yoi is such a good-looking guy that most people don’t notice or care that she is, in fact, a girl. Indeed, she’s had the nickname “Prince” for as long as she can remember. That is, until she met Ichimura-senpai…the only person who really seemed to see her for herself. To her surprise, she’s not sure how to handle this new relationship, especially when her newfound friend is a prince himself (and a guy prince, at that). The story of the two high school princes starts here!
