Early this year, it was announced that the manga Tohai – Ura Rate Mahjong Tohai Roku (“Frozen Tile – Underground Rate Mahjong Battle Record”) would be getting an anime adaptation. With the fall season fast approaching, we now have a premiere date locked in: October 4, 2024.
The series will run during the “Animeism” programming block of MBS, TBS and other affiliated stations.
Koji Shinasaka serializes the original Tohai manga in the Young Champion seinen manga magazine since 2006. Jun Hatori directs the Tohai – Ura Rate Mahjong Tohai Roku TV anime at EAST FISH STUDIO. Mariko Kunisawa provides the series composition, Sayaka Anezaki provides the character designs and Yusuke Shirato and Yuki Kishida provide the music.
The story of Tohai – Ura Rate Mahjong Tohai Roku is set in a world where underground mahjong parlors engage in high stakes gambling for money, women, and even black market internal organs. This seedy world is being turned upside down by a high school boy gambler whose cold demeanor has earned him the nicknamed “K of the Ice”.
