Manga

[edit]

At 25:00, in Akasaka is written and illustrated by Hiroko Natsuno. It was serialized in Gōgai On BLUE, a spin-off of the bimonthly boys' love manga magazine On BLUE, in the 2nd Season vol. 8 released on November 25, 2017.[1] The series was later moved to the main On BLUE magazine beginning with vol. 34 released on April 25, 2018, where it was serialized beginning with the first chapter.[12][13] The chapters were later released in five bound volumes by Shodensha under the On BLUE Comics imprint.

On July 13, 2019, Futekiya announced that they had licensed At 25:00, in Akasaka for English language distribution through their website as one of their launch titles.[14] On March 6, 2024, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that they were licensing the series in English for North American distribution in print, where they released it under the title At 25:00 in Akasaka.[15][16]

In 2018, Natsuno stated through an interview with Chil Chil [ja] that she enjoyed drawing Shirasaki's emotions as he is filming a drama, where it would be difficult to tell if he was acting or not.[5] She also felt pressure in drawing the characters beautifully as they were celebrities.[5] Due to depicting scripts from dramas, she also found it interesting choosing dialogue that "had a little [more] atmosphere" than how she normally drew manga.[5] While working on the second volume, Natsuno came down with an undisclosed health condition, where she stated that it was the "first time she rode an ambulance" and that her condition was "nothing serious."[6] For volume 3, Natsuno wanted to depict maintaining work and romance "pleasantly" and had fun writing dialogue for Mihara.[11] For volume 5, Natsuno worked hard to depict Shirasaki and Hayama being apart and focusing on their jobs while still thinking of each other.[8]
