Covers both volumes of Meteor Prince by Meca Tanaka.A wild and whacky ride awaits in this super-short series about an alien named Io (who is essentially Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club) looking for his soul mate, Hako, on Earth. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and her lover Asher dive deep into the use of soul mates in literature and have an excessively silly shipping corner. Remember: You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. (But is Io a mammal??)REFERENCESMeteor Prince is available from Viz Media's Shojo Beat lineMeca Tanaka's other work, The Young Master's Revenge, is also available from Shojo Beat. We also have a podcast about it.Other manga mentioned: Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, Basara, Princess Jellyfish, Ouran High School Host Club, Fullmetal AlchemistRandom things: Shaun of the Dead, "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound GangOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USAsher on Archive of Our Own: dasheryShojo & Tell on Twitter, Tumblr, and InstagramAshley on Twitter: @AshMcD00
