Written and illustrated by Katsu Aki, Futari Ecchi has been serialized biweekly in Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal since December 1996. Its chapters have been collected by Hakusensha into individual tankōbon volumes, with the first one released on August 29, 1997. As of January 29, 2026, 94 volumes have been released. In December 2002, a side story called Futari Ecchi for Ladies (ふたりエッチ for Ladies) began serialization in Silky, running for twelve chapters until its conclusion in October 2004.

Tokyopop licensed Futari Ecchi for an English-language release in North America under the name Manga Sutra - Futari H in 2007, with two volumes of the original Japanese release combined into a single volume. However, before the release of the first volume, which was published in January 2008, several major retailers had announced they would not carry the title due to its content. A representative of Tokyopop also said that the volumes were expensive to produce. They planned to release the first ten Japanese tankōbon in five volumes, but only four were released, the fourth published in January 2009. Tokyopop ceased all manga publications in 2011.
From January 5 to March 30, 1997, a radio drama was broadcast on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting. The roughly 30 minute program aired on Tuesdays at 1:00am and was later released on two CDs, by Bandai Music, as Futari Ecchi: The CD Show (ふたりエッチ THE CD SHOW).
Beginning in 2002, a four-volume original video animation series was produced by Chaos Project. It is split into two stages; the first two episodes, released on July 26 and September 7, 2002, make up one, and the last two, released on November 27, 2003 and January 22, 2004, make up the second.
