The Tale of the Outcasts Vol. 1

About “The Tale of the Outcasts Vol. 1”

An engrossing new fantasy manga in which a downtrodden orphan girl develops an unexpected friendship with a beastly immortal. 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.
