A manga adaptation of the series, illustrated by Motoe, began in 2017.
Sol Press originally announced the license of the English adaptation of the light novels in 2018. Kodansha USA then announced at San Deigo Comic Con this year the company licensed the manga adaptation of the series with a scheduled release of Spring 2023, as well as announcing at Anime Expo plans to release the light novel adaptation.
Crunchyroll describes the series:
Mitsuha is an 18-year-old girl who’s often mistaken for a middle schooler due to her childlike face and small stature. The story begins when she loses her parents and her older brother at the same time in an accident and ends up all alone in the world.
She fails her university entrance exams due to the shock of losing her family. There are people who are after her parents’ insurance money. She doesn’t know whether she should go to college or start working. There are also lots of expenses to worry about, including living expenses and the cost of maintaining the house.
One day, as she worries about how she’ll survive, she’s given the “World Jumping” ability by a mysterious being that allows her to go back and forth between “this world” and an “isekai”! Now that she has this ability, she comes up with a plan for the future in which she saves 1 billion yen in each world for a total of 2 billion yen (80,000 gold coins)!
