The manga follows a high school boy named "K" and his battles in the underworld of mahjong with high stakes and lives on the line. Shinasaka launched the first Tōhai series in 2006, and he then began the currently running series, Tōhai: Hitobashira-hen, in 2011. The first series has 11 volumes, while the fourth volume of the current series shipped on January 18.
Shinasaka is also serializing a spinoff manga series, Haō Densetsu Lion, in Takeshobo's Kindai Mahjong Original magazine.
