Megumi-Toons was originally serialized in Anime V magazine and has been published in a collection under the Japanese title Ashita ga aru sa (明日があるさ –SWEET TIME EXPRESS–). It was later reprinted in a small form, but with additional comics, by Kadokawa under their "Teens Ruby" imprint. In addition, a number of extra comics have appeared in random issues of Newtype.
The series is a series of vignettes about Hayashibara's life and career. It details her initial auditions, her training both as an actress and as a nurse, and the start of her singing career. It also includes scenes about her hobbies, a trip to America she took in 1996, and her family life and childhood. It ends with a vignette about her desire for a family, written before her actual marriage.
