Samura began his manga author career with Mugen no Juunin in Monthly Afternoon in 1993, which concluded after a 19-year serialization in 2012. Kodansha later reprinted the manga in 15 omnibus volumes in 2016-2017 and six 5-in-1 electronic omnibuses in September 2018. The manga has sold a cumulative 7.5 million copies of its compiled volumes.

An official sequel manga titled Mugen no Juunin: Bakumatsu no Shou (Blade of the Immortal: Bakumatsu Arc), by novelist Renji Takigawa (Monument: Aruiwa Jibun Jishin no Kaibutsu) and novice manga artist Ryuu Suenobu, began its serialization in this year's July issue of the Afternoon magazine on May 25. Takigawa is writing the story in collaboration with Samura, featuring illustrations by Suenobu.

The sequel manga is set in the 19th century and follows the protagonist Manji, who was living a secluded life in the Tosa region, but heads to the capital after a visit from an imperial loyalist.
