Wayama began drawing the comedy slice of life manga in Feel Young monthly magazine in January 2020. Shodensha published the second volume on May 8. The manga has a cumulative 1.2 million copies of its volumes in print.

Onna no Sono no Hoshi placed first and fifth in the female readers' category in the 2021 and 2022 editions of Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings. The manga was also nominated for the 14th and 15th Manga Taisho awards.

Synopsis
Hoshi-sensei, a Japanese language teacher at an all-girls school, is at the mercy of his students and colleagues. Students challenge him to their shiritori word games illustrated in their daily notes, convince him to bring a dog into the classroom, and seek his advice on becoming a manga artist, while colleagues drag him along on their rounds to the pub. Matter-of-fact interactions between a cast of unique characters make for an offbeat comedy. (Source: Japan Media Arts Festival, edited)
