The series is licensed in English in North America by Vertical, who started releasing the volumes in print in February 2020; it is also digitally published by Kodansha USA since August of the same year.

Blood on the Tracks, written and illustrated by Shūzō Oshimi, was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Big Comic Superior from February 24, 2017,[3][4] to September 8, 2023.

[55] Ian Wolf from Anime UK News praised the series' storytelling and Oshimi's artwork, highlighting the "detailed and sometimes disturbing close-ups" and "great views of the wilderness".

Regarding the series' title, Wolf commented that something from Pink Floyd's The Wall, in which "the narrator has issues with his domineering mother", would have been more fitting.
