There are multiple manga series and spin-offs of the
Vampire Princess Miyu story.
The first manga is the main
Vampire Princess Miyu (吸血姫美夕) series, which was created by Hirano Toshiki and Kakinouchi
Narumi after the OVA series. It was originally just a single volume published in 1989. After that, Kakinouchi and Hirano worked
on the
Vampire Yui and
Shin Vampire Princess Miyu manga series. The main
Vampire Princess Miyu series began
again in the late 1990s, with the manga's second volume released in 1998. It ran for a total of ten volumes until 2002.

The third series,
Shin Vampire Princess Miyu (新吸血姫美夕), is by Kakinouchi and Hirano. Its story involves the invasion
of the Western Shinma into Japan. Characters from both the
Vampire Princess Miyu series and the
Vampire Yui
series appear in it. Although the series is prefixed with
shin, meaning "new," it is a sequel to just the
first
volume of
Vampire Princess Miyu; the rest of the
Vampire Princess Miyu series is actually a sequel to the entire
Shin Vampire Princess Miyu series.
Shin Vampire Princess Miyu is five volumes long.

Shin Vampire
Princess Miyu is covered from volume 2 through volume 4, and
Vampire Princess Miyu is covered by volume 1, then
volume 5 through volume 10. (Thank you to Hhaamu for the correction.)

A new manga series focusing on Miyu called
Miyu Saku (美夕 朔) (
saku meaning "new moon") began in December
2017 on the comics website
Champion Cross. Currently 3 volumes
have been published.
A new manga series focusing on Yui called
Vampire Yui Saishuushou (吸血姫夕維 最終章) (
saishuushou meaning "final
chapter") began in November 2017 on
Champion Cross. The series was
two volumes total.
There are several other
Vampire spin-offs including a
Vampire Princess Miyu comic novel released in
1990, another novel, a manga by Kakinouchi called
Dahlia the Vampire, and one official artbook.
I.C. Entertainment (Studio Ironcat), a North American company, translated
Shin Vampire Miyu into English,
first as monthly installments and then as complete volumes. I.C. also started translating
Vampire Yui and
the main
Vampire Princess Miyu series before the company went out of business. It appears that only five
volumes of the main
Vampire Princess Miyu series were ever published in English. No other company has
published any of the manga in English.
