I still get goosebumps thinking about the original 'Basilisk' and how brutal and beautiful that world was, so when people ask what continues the story I always start with the obvious follow-up: 'Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou'. That one is the main sequel/spin-off that takes place years after the Kouga vs Iga tragedy, following a fresh generation with ties to the original clans. It’s been released both as a manga continuation and later adapted into an anime, and it leans into the political aftermath and the next wave of deadly techniques and vendettas.

If you want a reading/viewing order, I’d recommend experiencing the original 'Basilisk' first (manga or the 2005 anime) so the emotional weight of the families and the fallen characters registers. Then move to 'Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou' to see the legacy angle — the sequel tries to balance nostalgia (cameos and inherited abilities) with new stakes. Beyond that, there aren’t a ton of widely-known, direct manga sequels; most other material comes as novelizations, artbooks, drama CDs, or adaptations of the original 'Kouga Ninpou Chou' novel by Fūtarō Yamada. If you’re hunting for extras, look for official collections and soundtrack releases: they often include short side-stories and character sketches that fans treasure.

Personally, I binged the original late-night with cold coffee and felt a weird mix of grief and fascination — then jumped into 'Ouka' expecting a remake of the same tragedy and was glad to see the series try to expand the political world instead. It’s not identical in tone, and people’s opinions vary, but if you loved the first wave of ninja drama, the sequel is the one to chase next.

I’m still a sucker for the clan drama, so when people ask which spin-offs or sequels continue the 'Basilisk' storyline I always point them to 'Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou' first — that’s the direct sequel that follows the next generation tied to the Kouga and Iga legacy. The safe way to approach it is: original 'Basilisk' (manga or the 2005 anime) gives you the tragic foundation, then 'Ouka' expands the world and brings new characters who inherit techniques and grudges.

Beyond that sequel, most of the franchise material comes as adaptations, novel sources (notably the original 'Kouga Ninpou Chou' novel), and supplemental releases like artbooks and drama tracks; there aren’t a bunch of separate, long-running spin-off manga series. So if you want the storyline continued, chase 'Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou' and the related official releases, and you’ll get the clearest continuation of the saga.

I get asked this a lot in chats and Discord servers: what continues the saga after 'Basilisk'? The short-ish, practical reply I give friends is: read/watch the original 'Basilisk' first, then check out 'Basilisk: Ouka Ninpouchou' — that’s the main continuation. It follows new protagonists who have inherited the old grudges and techniques, so it feels familiar but with different players.

There aren’t endless spin-off manga franchises for 'Basilisk' the way some series get dozens of side titles. Instead, the franchise expands through the sequel I mentioned, plus various adaptations and official extras: the original novel 'Kouga Ninpou Chou' (which inspired the whole thing), some artbooks, soundtracks, and a few drama CD or stage pieces depending on your region. If you care about canon, stick to the manga and official anime adaptations: the original manga and its sequel are the clearest path to continuing the storyline. For casual fans, streaming the two anime (original and the sequel) gives the clearest sense of continuity and lets you compare how each era treats heritage and vengeance.

If you’re picky about tone, be ready: the sequel shifts focus to politics and new character dynamics rather than retreading the exact emotional beats of the first tragedy, which I actually found refreshing even if some fans prefer the raw punch of the original.

Are there English translations of manga basilisk with extras?

I still grin whenever I flip through the old pages of 'Basilisk'—it’s one of those series where the art and the bleak, tragic tone stick with you. If you’re asking whether there are English translations that include extras (omake, color pages, author notes, bonus chapters, etc.), the short reality is: yes, but it depends on the edition. There are official English-language releases of 'Basilisk' and also plenty of fan translations out there. Official releases sometimes carry bonus material, but it varies by publisher, print run, and whether the edition was a regular tankobon, deluxe omnibus, or a digital release. From my own shelf-hunting and late-night sifting through seller descriptions, what usually increases the chance of extras is a deluxe or omnibus edition—or special prints that advertise translated extras or an included art gallery. Digital storefronts like ComiXology or the publisher’s own e-shop occasionally list whether they’ve kept color pages or included extra author notes. If you care about completeness, check the ISBN and compare contents between editions (some sellers list the table of contents). I’ve found that secondhand marketplaces and collectors’ forums are goldmines for images of the inside — people post scans of the extra pages so you can confirm before buying. If you can’t find an official edition with the extras you want, fan translations tend to be more likely to include every omake and author comment (obvious caveat: they’re unofficial). My usual approach is to weigh quality and ethics: try to find an official edition first, and only look to fan scans for material that’s truly not available otherwise. If you want, I can walk you through how to identify which edition includes what—those tiny publisher notes in the book’s front matter are a signpost more often than people realize.
