A manga tie-in with an "original Alternative story" was announced on the Hololive Alternative Twitter account in February 2021.[22] Following a dispute with the artist responsible for the manga, Mizuryu Kei, the announcement was deleted from Twitter and a settlement was 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]
