Shiori Teshirogi Launches Manga Miniseries in September

The September issue of Akita Shoten's Mystery Bonita magazine announced on August 6 that manga creator Shiori Teshirogi and her younger brother and novelist Shōtarō Teshirogi will launch a four-chapter manga miniseries titled Fushigiri Muichi (Muichi the Slayer of Immortals) in the magazine's next issue on September 4. Shiori Teshirogi is drawing the art, and Shōtarō Teshirogi is writing the story.

The manga is set during the early Meiji Period, and centers on the titular Tamahashi Muichi, once a secret lawman of the late Shogunate government, and who has now traded his sword for a painter's brush. That is, until he receives word of the activities of the Restoration agitator Sakamoto Ryōma, who is supposed to be dead.

The Teshirogi siblings previously published a two-chapter manga with the same title and story in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in October 2021.

Shiori Teshirogi launched the Batman and the Justice League manga in Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine in June 2017, and ended it in May 2019. Akita Shoten published four compiled book volumes for the manga. Teshirogi also published the "Justice League Origin: Wonder Woman" one-shot manga in July 2017.

Teshirogi's Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiō Shinwa manga ran from 2006 to 2011, and inspired two OVA series that totaled 26 episodes. Crunchyroll streamed the series, and Discotek released the series on DVD in November 2015. Teshirogi launched the Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas - Meiō Shinwa Gaiden manga in 2011, and ended it in April 2016.

Shōtarō Teshirogi wrote the Kou-Tetsujo Iron Castle novel, the second part an original manga and novel project in collaboration with Anima, with designs by Yasuo Ohtagaki (Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Moonlight Mile).  The novel shipped in March 2021.
