Kanko Nakamura began developing the series as she was finishing her previous manga, Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!. She wanted to write a manga featuring a character with high self-esteem, contrasting that character with another one who had low self-esteem. Early concepts for the series included focusing on a boy and a girl who were twins, as well as a magical girl who boosted her self-esteem by fighting for the world. Nakamura originally intended Runa to have a male butler who liked high school uniforms, but she changed the character to be an older sister who had the same interest as she thought a male character would not fit the series being yuri. She wanted to contrast Runa with the character Tsubame Kamoi from UzaMaid!, with Runa having an eccentric personality instead of Tsubame's brashness.^[1]
