The Tale of the Outcasts is based on the manga by Makoto Hoshino, which ran from 2019 to 2021 with eight tankoubon volumes. The Shogakukan-published manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday and is published under the Shonen Sunday Comics label.
Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manga as:
This is the story of Wisteria, an orphaned girl lost in darkness, and Marbas, an immortal being who shares her loneliness. The unlikely companions met on a quiet, uneventful night, and they set off together in search of the light. What begins as a chance meeting on the edge of the late nineteenth-century British Empire soon became a full-fledged journey to find their place in the world.
