The manga and the movies of the same name are both based on the Onmyouji novels by well known Japanese science fiction writer Yumemakura Baku.

I like both the movies and the manga, but they're not very similar. The manga adds a number of female characters and has a slyer style of humor. The movie is much goofier and, arguably, more subtext-laden.
Even if you can't read Japanese, it's worth buying the manga because the art is just that gorgeous.
It has been translated into French.

If the live-action movie can be an indication of how good this manga is... Then it should be ultra-awesome.
P.S, Abe no Seimei is quite famous, and whenever Onmyoji is mentioned in a historical\supernatural manga you'll probably find some Seimei reference.
