Manga

edit

Kakafukaka is written and illustrated by Takumi Ishida. It was serialized in the monthly manga magazine Kiss beginning in the December 2013 issue released on October 25, 2013[5] to the January 2021 issue released on November 25, 2020.[6] The chapters were later released in twelve bound volumes by Kodansha under the Kiss Comics imprint.

Ishida had created the series to challenge the ideas of traditional love, as shōjo manga typically valued emotional aspects of love over physical aspects.[4] In doing so, she placed equal focus on both aspects of love, claiming that they were "connected."[4]

In 2018, Kodansha USA announced that they had licensed the series in English for North American distribution, with the volumes distributed digitally.[1]
