Daytime Shooting Star is written and illustrated by Mika Yamamori. The series first was announced on May 3, 2011.[5] The manga was serialized in the bi-weekly magazine Margaret from May 20, 2011, to November 2014. The chapters were later released in bound volumes by Shueisha under the Margaret Comics imprint.

Wanting to promote the live-action movie, Yamamori released Daytime Shooting Star: Side Story Blue in the February 3, 2017 issue of Margaret.[8] It was followed up by Daytime Shooting Star: Side Story Red in the March 28, 2017 issue of Margaret.[9]

In 2018, Viz Media announced at the New York Comic Con that they were licensing the series for English distribution, with all comics being published under the Shojo Beat imprint.[10]
