The Tale of the Outcasts (stylized as The tale of the outcasts) is based on a manga by Makoto Hoshino. It was serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday from August 2019 to April 2021. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English and describes the plot 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.
