The series stars the amiable and naive young gentleman Bertie Wooster and his brilliant valet Jeeves.

Sometime in 2007, Maki Shiraoka, a senior editor for Hakusensha, conceived of the idea of a manga series featuring Jeeves and Bertie Wooster.

She discussed this idea with another Hakusensha editor, Ayaka Tokushige, who found Tamaki Morimura's translation of The Inimitable Jeeves and believed it would be a good basis for a manga.

They visited London and the nearby countryside together for research and studied English stately homes, shops, and architecture, guided by Wodehouse experts.
