The Eren the Southpaw anime is based on a web manga series by Kappi that began back in 2016 and ended in 2017. A remake of the manga, illustrated by nifuni, was published in Shonen Jump+ from 2017 to 2022. A live-action television drama adaptation also came out in 2019.

After meeting, Koichi begins his journey towards becoming a designer while Eren embarks on a path to become an artist. Years later, after being dropped from a project in his ad agency, Koichi visits the place where he first met Eren. On the other hand, Eren also struggles with her life in New York as a recognised graffiti artist.
