The announcement brought joy to fans of the series, which began serialization in 2018 on the major web novel platform "Shosetsuka ni Narou". The story was later published as a light novel in 2019 and adapted into a manga in 2020, gaining widespread attention.

A New Gourmet Fantasy

The series has surpassed 850,000 cumulative copies in circulation.
