The final compiled book volumes for both series — Bamboo Blade C 's seventh volume and BB Deformer 's second volume — will ship in Japan on October 25.

Bamboo Blade C , Totsuka's third manga series about high school girls who practice kendō (Japanese sword fencing), debuted in the June 2013 issue of Monthly Big Gangan . Totsuka was once again credited for the story, while Jingu Takao ( Syllabus of Oshie ) drew the manga this time. The sixth and most recent volume shipped in February.

BB Deformer , a four-panel Bamboo Blade spinoff comic by Totsuka and illustrator Saki Azumi , debuted in the November 2013 issue of Monthly Big Gangan . The first compiled book volume shipped in September 2014.

Totsuka and artist Aguri Igarashi ( Saki Achiga-hen episode of side-A ) already ended the first Bamboo Blade manga series in 2010, and Yen Press published it in North America. AIC A.S.T.A. adapted the manga into a television anime series in 2007-2008, and Funimation released the anime in North America.
