Byakko Senki is a prequel to Fushigi Yûgi, a sequel to Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden, and the final installment in the Fushigi Yûgi "Four Gods" storyline. It tells the story of the Priestess of Byakko, Suzuno Ohsugi, in the land of Xi-Lang after she was transported into The Universe of the Four Gods. The Byakko Ibun one-shot, on the other hand, sets the mood for Byakko Senki by introducing one of its protagonists, a girl from Xi-Lang named Ning-Lan, and her companion Nirusha.
In Japan, Shogakukan published the series' first compiled volume in April 2018. In North America, Viz Media licensed the manga for an English-language release and published its first volume in August 2020.
