Image source: Yen PressYen 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, known for her series Devil’s Candy, which earned her the grand prize in the TOKYOPOP 2003 Rising Stars of Manga, and is currently released 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 being bridging the gap between the natural and supernatural worlds.
Miss Alexia Tarabotti possesses this unique distinction, and when she is attacked at a formal gathering by a rogue vampire, an encounter that results in the death of the half-starved creature, her circumstances become exponentially more complicated indeed! Now entangled in an intrigue with life-and-death stakes, Alexia must depend on all her talents to outsmart the forces conspiring against her, but it may be the man who has piqued her interest — Lord Conall Maccon — and their budding flirtation that truly drives her to her wit’s end!
