The manga is an adaptation of Masaki Yamada’s sequel novels of Masaki Segawa’s Basilisk manga.
Segawa’s original Basilisk manga adapts Futaroh Yamada’s 1959 novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls.
This year’s 30th issue of Kodansha’s Young Magazine revealed on Monday that Tatsuya Shihara will launch a new manga titled Basilisk – Ōka Ninpō-chō (Basilisk – The Ōka Ninja Scrolls) in the 34th issue on July 24.
The manga inspired a television anime adaptation in 2005 that Funimation released in individual DVDs from 2006 to 2007, and released again on Blu-ray Disc in 2009 and 2015.
