The manga centers on Tsukasa, a normal salaryman who is attacked one night by demons, and is saved by a genius kunoichi named Shizuri. In her off time though, Shizuri is a lazy otaku NEET. Tsukasa and Shizuri end up living together, with Tsukasa using his homemaking skills to pamper Shizuri as she continues to serve as his bodyguard.
Number Nine released the 10th compiled volume of the manga digitally in March 2023. Kadokawa is publishing the manga in print and published the third volume in March 2023.
