Sort of; the mangaka did, but on a completely different manga that predates Chihayafuru.

Yeah, looks like the copying was with Yuki’s early 2000’s manga, Flower of Eden. Chihayafuru is completely unrelated to the plagiarism accusations. The author even fessed up and apologized.

The Bleach Fullbring filler arc is a very clear ripoff of Yu Yu Hakusho’s Chapter Black. Like, undeniably.
Also it sucked.
