A Glimpse into the Past

The 16bit Sensation manga was initially distributed as a dōjinshi at Comic Market in December 2016. Its success led to its official serialization by Kadokawa in September 2020, with two volumes already available as of November 2021. The manga’s story draws inspiration from the real-life experiences of the creators, Misato Mitsumi and Tatsuki Amazuyu, who were part of the AQUAPLUS team.
