Yen Press announced the release of Soulless: The Manga Omnibus Edition — a manga omnibus adaptation of Gail Carriger’s first three novels in The Parasol Protectorate steampunk romance fantasy series. The manga omnibus is expected to be released in March 2026.
Carriger’s original Soulless novel was first published by Orbit Books in 2009. Yen Press later published a manga adaptation of the novel in 2012.
The manga’s art was illustrated by comic book artist Rem, who is best known for her series Devil’s Candy, which awarded her the grand prize in the TOKYOPOP 2003 Rising Stars of Manga, and is currently published as a webcomic.
Yen Press describes the main synopsis of the Soulless manga as:
A new complete omnibus edition! The life of a spinster in Victorian London isn’t an easy one on the best of days, but such a life becomes infinitely more complicated when said spinster is “soulless”—a preternatural bridging the gap between the natural and supernatural worlds.
Miss Alexia Tarabotti has this unique distinction, and when she is assailed at a formal gathering by a rove vampire, an encounter that results in the death of the half-starved creature, her circumstances become exponentially more complicated indeed! Now caught up in an intrigue with life-and-death stakes, Alexia must rely on all her talents to outmatch the forces conspiring against her, but it may be the man who has caught her eye — Lord Conall Maccon — and their budding flirtation that truly drives her to her wit’s end!
