The official website for LEED Publishing’s Comic Ran Twins magazine revealed on Tuesday that Yūji Takemura will launch a spinoff manga for his manga adaptation of Shōtarō Ikenami’s Shikakenin Fujieda Baian novels in the April issue of the magazine on March 14.
From 1972 until his death in 1990, Ikenami published seven novels in his Shikakenin Fujieda Baian series, remaining unfinished due to Ikenami’s passing.
The original novels, set during the historic Edo period, center on the titular Fujieda Baian, a medicine man and doctor by day, but ruthless killer for hire by night.
The manga is titled Shikakenin Meshibanashi ~Fujiede Baian Saiban-ki~, and it will be a gourmet manga exploring the cuisine of the Edo period.
