Publisher Kodansha USA has licensed the manga in English under the title The Blue Wolves of Mibu, and describes the story:
Nio is an orphan who can't help but dream of a better world. In this action-packed manga, he meets two men who show him how much a few swords can change history.
This gripping samurai series from the acclaimed author of Days shares a setting with Rurouni Kenshin and chronicles the founding of the Shinsengumi by handsome and volatile men fighting for justice…and for themselves!
Yasuda launched the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in October 2021. Kodansha published the 13th compiled book volume on April 17.
Yasuda's soccer manga DAYS also inspired a television anime in 2016 and five original video anime episodes from 2017 to 2018. Yasuda's cycling manga Over Drive inspired a television anime in 2007.
