The 10-episode live-action series premiered on the TBS channel and its affiliates in July 2023. Netflix began streaming the series worldwide in October 2023.
The manga is also inspiring a television anime that premiered on October 3, and is currently airing. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it airs. The anime will air for two consecutive cours (quarter of a year), for a half-year run.
