The Infernal Devices: Manga Books in Order

The Infernal Devices: Manga adapts the Victorian Shadowhunter trilogy into a black and white graphic format. Illustrated in a manga influenced style, these volumes retell Tessa Gray’s story in London while emphasizing visuals that prose can only describe.

The core plot remains the same: Tessa’s kidnapping by the Dark Sisters, her rescue by Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs, and the mystery of the Magister’s clockwork army. What changes is how you experience it. Gaslit streets, steampunk automatons, elaborate ball gowns, and runes all become part of the page design.

Because the manga follows the structure of Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess, it can work either as an entry point for readers who prefer comics or as a companion for fans of the original novels who want to see favorite scenes staged visually. Action sequences in particular benefit from the format’s sense of motion.

Character emotions are also handled a little differently. Expressive faces, panel pacing, and small sight gags highlight the wry humor and intense romantic tension that run through the series. At the same time, key revelations about Tessa’s identity and the fate of the London Institute land with the same punch.

If you are new to the Shadowhunter world, you can read these volumes on their own and still follow the story. Readers already invested in The Infernal Devices often enjoy using them to revisit beloved moments while picking up visual details that deepen their sense of Victorian London.
