There's only one rule: Drink whenever we mention Naruto, Boruto, or Samurai 8 during the main episode. While Suntory Toki Whiskey is the official drink of the Manga Musings podcast, we cannot in good conscience advocate using it for this drinking game, as you would need a liver transplant before the night is out.This week's show-and-tell was Kotobuki Sou no Shokutaku by Uonome Santa.For the coverage of this month's Boruto chapter, listen to the Postgame show on the Manga Musing PatreonOur theme music is Rainy Day by Souichi Sakagami Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
