Manga

edit

Takara's Treasure is written and illustrated by Minta Suzumaru. It is serialized in the monthly yaoi manga magazine Dear+ since the October 2020 issue released on September 14, 2020,[8] to the May 2022 issue released on April 14, 2022.[9] The chapters were later released in one bound volume by Shinshokan under the Dear+ Comics imprint.

In 2022, Suzumaru stated through an interview with Chil Chil [ja] that the inspiration behind Takara's Treasure was that they wanted to draw a boy who speaks with a dialect.[10] The pitch that they wrote for the story described the boy as "[chasing] the person he wants to meet to the end of hell! He's holding a knife!"[10] It was later changed to "a brave and pure boy who goes to see the person he wants to meet! His eyes are sparkling!"[10] Suzumaru stated that the direction of the story had changed, and the ending of the original draft would have been an "open-ended" or a "bad ending."[10]

On February 17, 2024, Viz Media announced that they would distribute the manga in English in both print and digital formats through their SuBLime imprint.[11]
