In ancient China, a lone swordsman risks everything to protect a child destined to change the world.

True Grit meets The Last Samurai

Set in ancient China during the fall of a ruthless empire, bounty hunter Dao Ma breaks his code to protect a child and becomes the hunted. What begins as a routine escort mission turns into an epic fight for survival against assassins, warlords, and the forces of fate.

Blades of the Guardians blends the intensity of True Grit, the heart of The Mandalorian, and the grand intrigue of Game of Thrones. A breathtaking martial-arts fantasy rooted in Chinese history, filled with brutal action, haunting beauty, and fierce compassion.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
