 As stated at the back of the first volume, Maeda first conceived "Hibiki's Magic" as a short story he wrote as a student, and the story contains an unspecified theme that he has carried through a lot of stories since.In 2003, he wanted to collaborate with Izumi, one of his favorite artists, and remembered his earlier concept that would become "Hibiki's Magic".After Izumi drew some early character designs for Hibiki, Maeda wanted to continue the story and start a manga with Izumi as the artist.
