It was published in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime as a series of one-shots from October 2018, to May 2020, before being collected into a single tankōbon volume in 2020.

The spell can only be broken if Lilith kisses the one who cast it, and in the face of this deadlock the two women find themselves on the verge of finally understanding their feelings for each other.

[3] Rebecca Silverman for Anime News Network gave 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love an overall B rating; remarking that while the order of the one-shots presented in the book can make reading unnecessarily choppy, the stories themselves are still very strong.

There's a real charm to most of the stories in it no matter who they're about, but it doesn't overtake the plots to the point where they become gooey messes.

"[4] 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love was featured on BookWalker's top-selling manga for 2022.
