The unexpected hit, “Takopi’s Original Sin,” left a deep impact on the anime community upon its June release last year. This underdog of the Summer 2025 anime season captivated viewers with its intensely emotional and heart-wrenching narrative, setting new standards for quality that propelled it to the top of IMDb’s charts.
Now, Taizan 5, the creator behind “Takopi’s Original Sin,” is urging fans to brace themselves for another emotional rollercoaster as they prepare to release a fresh manga installment.
The graphic novel titled “Takopi’s Original Sin” (originally known as “Takopii no Genzai”) was published on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform from December 2021, wrapping up in March 2022. Notably, “Takopi’s Original Sin” falls under the shonen genre! The story has been compiled into two volumes and has garnered significant popularity among readers, particularly following the release of the anime adaptation. However, it’s important to note that “Takopi’s Original Sin” is not Taizan 5’s debut or final one-shot.
Their previous one-shot, titled “Henareta Futari,” was published in 2024 and revolved around two high school friends who became rivals due to their shared love for soccer. Readers familiar with Taizan 5 are aware of their affinity for sports and for tugging at fans’ heartstrings, so it’s speculated that their upcoming one-shot might blend these two passions.
Taizan 5 Announces New One-Shot Manga
If Takopi’s Original Sin left you yearning for more, then you might want to look forward to Taizan 5’s upcoming one-shot manga! This new piece will be published on the Jump+ web service this month, and it’s set to debut on August 18th.
There isn’t much information available about this series other than its title, “Fighting Girls,” which is the latest work by Taizan 5. The lack of plot details leaves plenty of room for Taizan 5 to captivate or deeply affect readers in equal measure. While we don’t know the storyline yet, fans can speculate about what it might entail. Given Taizan 5’s affinity for sports, it could be a martial arts/combat sports story focused on female characters. Alternatively, the fights in the title could represent emotional struggles, making the upcoming one-shot potentially as moving (or disturbing) as “Takopi’s Original Sin.
Tazian 5’s Next One-Shot Is Part of a New Shonen Jump Project
Apart from Taizan 5, several other authors are also set to publish new one-shot mangas as part of Shueisha’s Special One-Shot Project. One of these is titled “Fighting Girls,” and it will be released during the same period on Shonen Jump+. Over seven days, from August 18th to 24th, a series of original one-shots will be published, each penned by a different writer.
Among the seven recently introduced tales, “Fighting Girls” by Taizan 5 stands out. As for the remaining six narratives, they are still waiting to be revealed.
