Publication

Blood on the Tracks, written and illustrated by Shūzō Oshimi, began in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Superior on February 24, 2017.[2] According to Oshimi, the Bob Dylan album of the same name inspired the title for the series, but was not a major influence on the story.[3] Shogakukan has compiled its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was published on September 8, 2017.[4] As of April 27, 2020, eight volumes have been published.[5]

In July 2019, Vertical announced that they have licensed the manga for an English language release in North America.[6] The first volume was published on February 25, 2020.[7] In July 2020, Kodansha USA announced the digital release of the manga.[8]
