Covers volumes 8–13 of House of the Sun by TaamoOne Panel Later co-host, librarian, and manga reviewer Kelly Quinn Chiu and Shojo & Tell host Ashley dig deeper into the small moments that make this sleeper hit from Taamo so special. OK, honestly, Ashley mostly just rants about how Daiki is perfect and how he was robbed in this manga, while Kelly details how perfect Mao and Hiro’s relationship is. Both express shock and dismay at how, in a manga full of crummy characters like Mao’s dad and Sugimoto, Mao’s mom somehow ends up being the worst of them all. Both appreciate the understanding Mao’s dad and Hiro’s sister, Hina, have. There’s also a long discussion about the woes of publishing quiet romance manga that never get the hype they deserve.Just one more time, for emphasis: DAIKI IS THE BEST.Click here for a transcript of this episodeREFERENCESHouse of the Sun is available from Kodansha USA (digital only)Spoilers for The Hunger Games abound at ~1 hr and 5 minutes in.
