The original manga series by Satoshi Mizukami was serialized in Mag Garden’s Monthly Comic Blade from December 28, 2007 to July 30, 2014. It was then moved into the Comic Blade web service from September 16, 2014 to May 20, 2016. A total of 17 tankoubon volumes were released in total.
INKR Comics describes the synopsis of the Sengoku Youko manga as:
The world is divided into two factions: humans and monsters called katawara. Despite being a katawara, Tama loves humans and vows to protect them from evil, even if it means fighting her own kind. Her brother Jinka, however, hates humans, despite mostly being one. The siblings are joined by a cowardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn how to become strong. When the group uncovers a plot to experiment on humans and transform them into monsters, they vow to defeat whoever is behind it… Even if it means battling an entire army of warriors. The people they meet, places they see, and creatures they battle will be legendary!
