RELATED: Girl Crush Manga Sells 500,000 Digital Copies Ahead of Physical Release Tayama published the original Girl Crush manga on LINE Manga in Japan in November 2020, under Shinchosha's label Comic Nicola. Eight digial volumes and four print volumes have been released in Japan to date. Comikey releases a digital version of the English-language adaptation of the manga, with VIZ Media releasing a print version. VIZ Media describes the series as such: Inspired by Erian’s sincerity (and her own unexpected jealousy), Tenka decides that she’s going to audition at a famous Korean talent agency. But although her research powers and ability to memorize moves have helped Tenka excel in the past, the judges seem to be looking for something more than just flawless technique. Does Tenka have a chance at becoming an idol when the only thing she’s good at is being perfect? Source: Girl Crush on X (formerly Twitter)
