A creator who goes by the pen name "Real Crazy Man" has been drawing the original essay comic that takes these blood-type personalities and turn them into characters.

Kenichi Yamashita (Ishida and Asakura, Yumeiro Pâtissière) is also returning to be in charge of the scripts. Yoshihiro Hiramine is designing the characters, and Seishirō Nagaya and Masahiro Shinohara are producing the series.
Earth Star Entertainment published the manga volumes by "Real Crazy Man." Leeonsmart Co., Ltd. is credited with the copyright and management of the franchise.
