Grimms Notes is a smartphone game developed by Square Enix that was launched on January 20, 2016. It is available to play in iOS and Android platforms and has been downloaded for more than 15 million. Flero Games has announced in September last year that the game will be available outside Japan in the future. The gameplay revolves around the adventure of players with a given book that tells their fate in the world created by "Storytellers" and these people must fight against "Chaos Tellers" who overwrite their books with bad events.

Last year, the game has spawned two novel adaptations and a manga. The one-volume novel written by Takashi Ooizumi and illustrated by Mikine Minori was released by SB Creatives on May 13. Kadokawa has also released a comic anthology in March and a spin-off novel titled Grimms Notes: Unmei no Koishi Satachi in May.
