The anime currently has three seasons, with the third running from October 2020 to March 2021. An anime movie was released in 2019, while a a non-Pierrot-produced short form web anime was released in 2016. The 2015 anime has also spawned other media in the form of a Shueisha-published manga by Masako Shitara, novels, and games.
The manga previously received two anime adaptations, including one produced by Pierrot, and a 24-minute anime film in the second half of the 20th century. A live-action movie was released in Japan in March 2022.
