Shō loves to drink and gamble, but has seemingly lost motivation to seek out work of his own. The story follows Yuriko's efforts to "reform" her boyfriend to stop him from being a himo-otoko (slang for a freeloading man who is financially reliant on his girlfriend).
Takahito Akiyama and Misato Kawano are credited as producers.
Kōnoike Comic Flapper magazine in 2015, and Kadokawa published the first compiled book volume for the manga later the same year.
