Double Taisei

Double Taisei

A manga about a genius shogi player Tai with a split personality that changes into carefree Sei during night. When Tai suddenly disappears during during a shogi tournament, it’s up to Sei to win for both of them.

We’ve discussed this on an older podcast.

While I thought the dual protagonist bit was not great, I knew this manga was destined to fail. Shogi manga just do not do well in Weekly Shonen Jump. Whether it be Momiji no Kisetsu or Mononofu, shogi manga just do not do well in Shonen Jump. Ryu to Ichigo is serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday so I’m pretty sure it will survive. However I think anyone including Kentaro Fukuda should think twice before trying shogi manga in Jump again.
