Hara debuted the manga in April 2010 in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Max, and the series concluded in March 2020. In April 2020, Houbunsha published the 11th compiled book volume. A special Kin-iro Mosaic Best Wishes manga began in May 2020 and concluded on March 18, 2021.
The manga will be published in English by Yen Press. Shinobu, a 15-year-old seemingly "pure Japanese" girl who did a homestay in the United Kingdom, is the protagonist of the original manga. Even after returning to Japan, she misses her time abroad. One day, an air mail letter arrives from Alice, the girl who lives with Shinobu's host family in the United Kingdom. "Shinobu, I'm coming to Japan!" says the letter. The "Japanese/British girls' light comedy" follows the lives of Shinobu, Alice, and other Japanese and British girls.
The first manga-based anime series aired in 2013, and the second, Hello!! KINMOZA, debuted in 2015. Both seasons were streamed on Crunchyroll as they aired in Japan. Sentai Filmworks released the first series on home video in 2014, and the sequel followed in October 2016. In November 2016, the Kin-iro Mosaic: Pretty Days anime special episode was released in Japanese theatres.
