Development

In manga, Aguru was asked to draw manga following the anime. Aguru drew manga by script of the anime given to him during the manga's progress. However, the plot of the anime series is drawn on manga from several episodes such as "Crystal Jewels Go!", "Marcy, Unoffical Leader", "Save the Marc", "Roaracryst Away", and " League Begins! " During the production of the manga, Aguru recieved scripts of the anime series. Aguru then altered the stories to fit the desired amount of pages used per storyline.

Aguru dreamed of drawing manga based on animation."I finally realized my dream! Since my artwork is serialized in anime, I'd like to make this manga." Orisubama also enjoys drawing Roaracryst, Kouchu, and Elliot. When Aguru first designed the manga,the easiest character he said he can draw was Roaracryst, and he head a hard challenge drawing three characters: Octomite, Marc, and Rattlette. During his work on Crystal Jewels Kouchu’s Quest, Aguru decided to create a manga dedicated to the character based on one of Aguru’s favorite Crystal Jewels character, Elliot. Maruko Jinko have changed character appearances. He dedicates his designs and have a possibility to change some outfits. Aguru also said, the story is predictable to the anime. In the interview, Aguru said that his two favorite manga chapters was "Roaracryst, I See You!" and "Proud to be the Chosen one" because he said that the plots "have such a flavor". his favorite human characters were Kouchu Misako, Shauna Genga, and Sustin Withness, his favorite antagonist character was Hunter grai, and his favorite non-human character was Iccryst.
