Both seem very promising so far, hopefully they can go the distance.

Damn been a while since I heard these 2 series. Both were enjoyable in their own ways during their runs so looking forward to see what their authors can bring this time.

I started both of them I like them so far but they haven't quite hooked me maybe because I'm fatigued from jumps axing spree.

Did Souma's author decide to write a meta manga about a screenwriter with an allusion to a famous shogi manga? I wonder if it will be as ironic and parody of shonen tropes as Souma.
