New Manga Mini-Series from Shiori Teshirogi in September: Fushigiri Muichi
Shiori Teshirogi returns to the manga world with a new project after the highly beloved Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas series. According to Anime News Network, the manga artist will launch a new manga mini-series titled Fushigiri Muichi in September. This time, the artwork is by Shiori Teshirogi, while the story is by her younger brother Shōtarō Teshirogi.
The plot of Fushigiri Muichi and the platform where it will be published have not yet been fully announced. However, the term “fushigiri” suggests it could mean something like “cutting immortals”; this could mean a supernatural action and sword-themed story awaits us. The mini-series format makes it possible to offer an intense and self-contained narrative with a limited number of chapters; this promises readers a short but satisfying experience.
This news is especially exciting for those familiar with Shiori Teshirogi's name. Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, published in Weekly Shōnen Champion between 2006 and 2011, reached a wide fanbase worldwide as a prequel to Masami Kurumada's classic Saint Seiya universe. In this series, which told the ancient war between Athena's warriors and Hades' forces, Teshirogi attracted attention with both her artwork and storytelling.
This joint project of the siblings is also important as it brings together the different talents of the Teshirogi family. Although Shōtarō Teshirogi's writing style is not yet widely known by the masses, a brand-new story combined with Shiori Teshirogi's artwork seems likely to enter the follow lists of especially Lost Canvas fans. As September approaches, more information about Fushigiri Muichi's publication platform, first chapter date, and story details is expected to be shared.
