Tsunamoto and Tanishima have been making waves in the manga world with Mr. CB, which launched in Young Champion in 2018. The series follows the story of a center back, who leads his team to victory through sheer determination.

Kodansha‘s Weekly Morning first published Tsunamoto’s previous work, Giant Killing, back in 2007. The series inspired a TV anime, which was streamed by Crunchyroll and gained a massive following.
