Manga UP! Global currently hosts all chapters of the manga in English. The series is written by Sorinokoshi and illustrated by Taichi Ōkubo. The plot is described as:
Late-twenties office worker Seiya Tonami has made it a routine to get solo drinks every Friday at his favorite standing bar. But when he rescues a college girl from unwanted harassment at said bar, he gains a new drinking companion. Between everyday banter and light venting, there's now someone by his side to share a laugh with. Cozy up to a heartwarming and slightly tipsy romantic comedy set in a standing bar, where Friday nights become something to look forward to.
