Yen Press is publishing the manga digitally, and it released the 16th volume on May of 2018. The company describes the manga:
Demon prince Koujirou Sakura comes to Earth, enrolling in high school, on a mission to find the human who will threaten the future of the demon realm…and steal their souls! But with no clue as to this human’s identity, Koujirou is at a loss. To make matters worse, the boys’ dorm at his new school is full, and he’s forced to live off campus with a girl! Oh, the humanity…!

Kuwahara launched the manga in Monthly Shonen Gangan in 2007, and the series inspired a drama CD. Afterwards, Square Enix published the 16th compiled book volume of the manga in August of 2014.
