    Episode 111: One Piece Club - Wano, Finale

    After a bit of a hiccup with our recording platform it's time for the final regular episode of “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece," and the Multiversity Manga Club in general. We've had a great time covering ongoing Shonen Jump, various finished and/or non-Viz series, and, of course, "One Piece," and are humbled that anyone would take time out of their day to listen to us. We even "enjoyed" reviewing the Netflix Death Note for you. But enough of that -- in this month's episode we cover chapters 1033-1057, the fourth of four episodes covering Wano's third act, and the sixth Wano episode overall. To say it was a long arc is an understatement. Quite a bit happens here, but probably the main event is the secret history of the Gum-Gum Fruit and the appearance of Gear Five. And with that, we're done with the most recent completed arc. Thanks again for listening, and we may be back as future arcs conclude!

    It's the middle of the month --and Zach is back from paternity leave! -- so “One Piece Club,” our ongoing catch-up of “One Piece," is back! In this we cover chapters 525-550, comprising the entirety of the Impel Down arc. Multiple characters return as Luffy makes his way through the Navy's (supposedly) inescapable prison, including a certain someone who is cemented as Walt's favorite character. We'll be back in a month with chapters 551-580, a sizable chunk of the epic Marineford arc, and you can read along with us with the #OnePieceClub hashtag on Twitter. In the meantime Walt and Emily will be back in a few weeks to discuss July in Shonen Jump.

Join us two weeks as the recap portion of our One Piece Club resumes (for real this time), covering chapters 525-550, which includes the entire Impel Down arc and the beginning of the epic Marineford arc.

    It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of May in Shonen Jump!

    It's the middle of the month, so you know what that means: time for more "One Piece Club," our ongoing catch-up of "One Piece!" Or, well, it would be, but with Zach out on paternity leave Emily and Walt doing a special episode to discuss the One Piece film Strong World. Technically not a manga, and not even based on an arc in the manga, but who cares! We talk both the good (the very good character and monster designs) and the bad (Toei's seeming disregard for the visual quality of their most prestigious properties) of this perfectly cromulent animated action flick. Zach will be back with us next month to talk chapters 525-550, covering the entire Impel Down arc and beginning the momentous Marineford arc.

    It's the first Multiversity Manga Club episode of the month, which means we're looking back at the month of March in Shonen Jump!

In the second half we discuss "Jujutsu Kaisen," which Walt read all of in one week (Emily still has a ways to go). Join us two weeks from now for a special One Piece Club episode, where we discuss the film Strong World.
