A settlement was then reached between Cover Corporation and the artist.[22][23] Mizuryu Kei subsequently announced his resignation from the project.[24] Mizuryu Kei also deleted all his Hololive-related fan works and asked followers not to bother Hololive talents about the dispute.[25][26]

Following the retraction of the announcement for the first manga, a subsequent manga, "Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~" was released on the Hololive Alternative Twitter account.[12] In October 2021, a separate manga, "Underworld Academy Overload" was announced on the Hololive Alternative website.[4]

Although the mangas were originally published via Twitter, in February 2022, it was announced that due to the number of pages in the mangas exceeding what can be published on Twitter at once, future mangas would be published via Holonometria. A manga reader was slated to be added by the end of February 2022.[5] On May 6, 2022, it was announced that "Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~" would be published on the Square Enix app Manga UP! alongside the manga viewer on Holonometria.[27][28]

Yamato Phantasia[edit]

On June 4, 2021, Chapter 0 of the manga "Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~" was released on the Hololive Alternative Twitter account. The manga features Shirakami Fubuki, Ookami Mio, and Nakiri Ayame.[12][29] On October 31, 2021, Chapter 1 was released.[30] Yamato Phantasia is authored by Kousuke Kurose.[30]

Underworld Academy Overload!![edit]

In May 2023, "Soreyuke!! Makai Gakkou" was released on LINE Manga.[18] Soreyuke!! Makai Gakkou is authored by Moroyan.[31] The manga was released in English as "Underworld Academy Overload!!" on June 2, 2023.[32]

Video Game[edit]

Main article: Holoearth

Holoearth is a upcoming metaverse video game developed by Cover and is planned to release in 2024.[33] It was announced to be one of the projects under Hololive Alternative in October 2021.[4][34]

Websites[edit]

A lore website, Holonometria, was opened in June 2021.[13] The website contains background information on the Hololive Alternative universe as well as short stories. A manga reader was announced with an intended release at the end of February 2022.[5] On May 6, 2022, the release of the manga reader at midnight the following day was announced, however problems with the English and Indonesian localizations ultimately prevented its release.[27] The manga reader was eventually released on November 25, 2022 with five chapters of Yamato Phantasia.[35]
