It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from 1995 to 1997, with its chapters collected in two tankōbon volumes.

The story is broken up into eight differing sub-stories all involving a series of sentient mechanical puppets known as Vendémiaire (which is also the name of each).

These stories all have a similar formula involving a Vendémiaire puppet encountering a boy or man that tries to help them with varying levels of success, usually trying to attain freedom for them.

Written and illustrated by Mohiro Kitoh, Vendémiaire no Tsubasa was irregularly serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon from 1995 to 1997.

[1] The Vendémiaire in this chapter is a performer from a traveling circus who befriends a boy named Ray while in town.
