All 13 volumes of My Love Story!! were published by Viz Media in North America, with a 14th volume featuring a standalone story released on March 4th. In 2022, Kazune Kawahara and Aruko reunited to launch a two-chapter manga titled Uso ka Makoto ka Yume ka Koi (Is This Love a Lie, the Truth, or a Dream?).
In April 2011, Japan released live-action film adaptations of three popular manga series: "Kawahara's High School Debut," "Aozora Yell," and "Sensei!" These films were inspired by these manga series.
