Honestly, I just got done editing this and I'm wracking my brain to remember what we talked about. This is what no sleep does to a mfer.For real tho, this week the boys discussed Earthchild, the new series from Shinkai Hideo, the author of Soul Catcher(S). They also talked about the still alive-and-kicking Samurai 8 subreddit, the prevalence of manga piracy, and the monthly return of Boruto.This week's manga show-and-tell was Usogui Tokubetsu-hen by Sako Toshio.No postgame this week. If you want to hear the first episode of our new monthly miniseries "So You Want to Get Into..." subscribe to the Manga Musing Patreon at the $7.50 tier. If you think 3 extra dollars a month is too steep for a well-researched and thought-provoking deep dive, hit me up in my DMs. I'll unlock this first episode for anyone who asks.Our theme music is Rainy Day by Souichi Sakagami Hosted on Acast.
