Shinobu Omiya is a Japanese high school girl who, five years ago, got a homestay in England with a girl named Alice Cartelet.[4] One day, Shinobu receives a letter from Alice saying she is coming to Japan to live with her. Surely enough, Alice appears and joins Shinobu and her friends Aya Komichi and Yoko Inokuma at her school. She is soon followed by Alice's half British, half Japanese friend from England, Karen Kujo.
The original manga by Yui Hara began serialization in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Max magazine in June 2010 issue (April 19, 2010). Eleven tankōbon volumes and two anthology comics have been released as of April 27, 2020.[6][7] The series has been licensed in English by Yen Press,[8] and in Indonesian by Elex Media Komputindo.[9] A spin-off manga titled Kin-iro Mosaic Best wishes was launched in the July 2020 issue (May 19, 2020) after the ending of the original series, and ended serialization in the May 2021 issue (March 18, 2021).[10][11] The spin-off manga is also licensed in English by Yen Press.[12]
