On this episode of Manga Mavericks, we're releasing a compilation of our thoughts over the years on Gengoroh Tagame's My Brother's Husband! A story about a single father who has to face his internalized prejudices in order to accept certain members of his family for who they are. The first discussion comes from Episode 35 of the podcast when we went over our first impressions of the series with Pantheon's release of the first volume back in 2017, with the second discussion being the bonus podcast we released on our Patreon covering the rest of the series three years later in 2020! Our good friend, Maxy Barnard of Friendship Effort Victory and Shonen Flop joined us for both podcasts! We three, along with the podcast, may have changed a lot in the past five years altogether, but our love for My Brother's Husband certainly has not! Join us next week as we review Gengoroh Tagame's Our Colors with special guest and translator of the series, Anne Ishi!!

It actually led to the crew sharing their own experiences with art, school, and even occasionally art-school.

Episode 169. Kyle is back on the podcast with Melissa to talk about the romance manga Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura. Tsukimi is a young woman obsessed with jellyfish who lives in an apartment building only for otaku women, with no men allowed. When a friendly girl helps Tsukimi bring her very own jellyfish home from the pet store, she's intimidated by the stranger's beauty and fashion sense -- until she discovers this is a fashion-fanatic boy who loves wearing dresses. Her new friend Kuranosuke has to hide his identity from the other women of the apartment so they don't kick him out, which is the last thing he wants now that he's falling for Tsukimi. The Whatnauts present The Review Show, a weekly book club style podcast for all sorts of pop culture.

* Take the Manga Mavericks 5-Year Anniversary Survey and Enter to Win a Free manga! More Details Below!: https://s.surveyplanet.com/uwgeMjcMq * Art is hard. Did you know that? If not, Akiko Higashimura’s autobiographical memoir of her “so-called artist’s journey,” Blank Canvas, will school you in the fundamentals! To help us navigate Higashimura’s memories, we’re joined by Jenny McKeon, who translated the series for Seven Seas and is a seasoned comics artist herself! Jenny shares her experiences as both a manga translator and artist, sharing her insights into Higashimura’s chronicle and the relatability of her experiences. Plus, Lum shares their perspective on the series as someone who went to art school and in fact first read the series when they were still IN art school, and all the ways in which Higashimura’s experiences reflected their own. More than a chronicle of her early career, Blank Canvas is a tribute to Higashimura’s late mentor, Hidaka-sensei, and the impact he had on her and the grief and guilt she still carries for taking him for granted. It’s a very raw, emotionally-charged story that is sure to resonate with anyone with similar experiences, and we somehow manage to talk about it all without crying (though we came dangerously close)! So have a good laugh and cry with us as we embark on this journey into Higashimura’s past! Also, as a reminder - we’re approaching both the 150th episode of this podcast, and even more significantly - our 5th year anniversary! What will we do to commemorate our 150th episode?

Join us on a journey, friends, as we embark on a new adventure. In this new podcast, we will be reading and discussing each volume of a particular shojo manga series. First up will be Tokyo Tarareba Girls volume 1 by Akiko Higashimura. Join us in February for our discussion!

The time has come for us to spotlight the work of one our favorite mangaka: Akiko Higashimura! In the first part of our read through her works, we discuss her painfully relatable memoirs and also some ridiculously sassy bar snack foods. We share our queerpinions on:Tokyo Tarareba Girls Vol. 1-9Humanizing portrayals of doomed relationshipsAttitudes toward marriage, friendships, and balancing the twoBlank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey Vol. 1-5Artistic endeavors, work ethics, and the pressure to practice every single dayYou can find all our episodes on Spotify, Podcast Addict, and Apple Podcasts!Spoiler and content warning: We’re a fairly NSFW-podcast that uses reclaimed homophobic slurs. Our discussion this week includes spoilers for the entirety of both Blank Canvas and Tokyo Tarareba Girls. Content-wise, these manga touch on death, grief, aging, and societal expectations for women and relationships. We also briefly mention the recent sexual assault charges made against Act-Age writer Tatsuya Matsuki. 

Covers all of Paradise Kiss by Ai Yazawa.Welcome to the world of high fashion (or at least, high drama). Paradise Kiss is one of those rare josei titles that got released in English, and it had a huge impact on this episode's special guests, Robin and Lucy (who host the podcast CLAMPcast in Wonderland). Ai Yazawa's work is relatable in many ways, and really inspired Shojo & Tell host Ashley to want to make some art after reading it. In the podcast, Robin, Lucy, and Ashley discuss the connection between creating art and creating life and how creators have limited control, the weight of expectations, the manga's amazing and frustrating LGBTQIA+ inclusions, how Paradise Kiss may or may not have influenced Akiko Higashimura's Princess Jellyfish, and much, much more. This episode is long, because we just love Isabella, Yukari, Miwako, Hiroyuki, Arashi, and even George, way too much.REFERENCESParadise Kiss is available from Vertical ComicsParadise Kiss also has an anime adaptation that's fairly faithful to the manga. It is not available on streaming services in North America.Paradise Kiss is a sequel to an earlier Yazawa manga.Princess Jellyfish feels like a direct response to Paradise KissWe're also got some shades of Tamaki from Ouran High School Host ClubOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USListen to Lucy and Robin's podcast all about CLAMP manga and anime called CLAMPcast in Wonderland!

Black Lives Matter.  Manga Mavericks stands in support of Black Americans and against the systemic racism and violence perpetrated by the police and the U.S. government.  There are many ways to help the Black Lives Matter movement, be it engaging in the protests yourselves or by donating to those fighting on the front lines. We’ve included links in the description of this podcast for people to learn more about petitions to sign and places to donate. We’ve donated all of our Patreon earnings from this year and hundreds of our own dollars to Bail Funds and Charities supporting progressive movements for change across the country, and if you can give, we strongly encourage you to do so. Otherwise, you can even watch videos donating all their ad money to charities too. Again, there are many ways to help, and every bit counts. To quote a great moment from The Boondocks: "What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?" "You do what you can."  In that spirit, we’re also supporting and amplifying Black creatives in our community. We’ll be leaving links to them and their work, and links of where to find other great Black creatives doing great work in this community. Please check all these fine folks out. We’ll also be leaving links to organizations, charities, and petitions to help support Black Lives Matter protests and victims of police brutality.  There’s another tragic bit of news we also must address: Zac Bertschy passed away on the week of May 19th, 2020. Zac was the executive editor in chief at Anime News Network, overseeing its editorial department. He was the host of ANNcast, the writer of Vice and Luna, and the original Answerman. He was always, in my eyes, the face, voice, and heart of Anime News Network. We’ll be leaving links to various people’s tributes and memories of Zac, including the final ANNcast, and links to some of the work of his I really appreciated over the years, including Answerman, ANNcast, Vice & Luna, his reviews of Death Parade and Keep Your Hands off Eizouken, and many others.   There’s so much to say about Zac Bertschy and the legacy he’s left. But right now, there’s just one thing that I must say: Rest in Peace, Zac. See you over the rainbow. This is a news episode that was delayed and made sort of out of date because of the above stories and others that happened almost immediately after we recorded it in mid-May. Please keep that in mind as you listen through that there’s a lot of parts re-recorded or added on after the fact. That said, we had a lot to cover, including the endings of some popular series, new license announcements, COVID-related delays, Netflix additions, and the titular question on everyone’s mind: Who Did Sesshomaru FUCK?! There’s plenty of news we don’t cover in this episode we’ll get to in a future installment, but it’s good to break these things up anyway lest we have another four-hour long podcast. You can be sure that this will also not be the last time we discuss Black Lives Matter and have conversations on important political and social topics on the show either. What’s going on matters way more than any of the manga we talk about, so while we hope to entertain with our podcast, we also want to make sure we don’t distract from what’s going on in the world and are amplifying voices and causes that matter.  Please visit the webpage of this podcast for the list of links we included in this post: http://all-comic.com/2020/manga-mavericks-ep-121-who-did-sesshomaru-fck PODCAST BREAKDOWN: 00:00 - Black Lives Matter 03:35 - Community Shout-Outs: Black Creatives in our Community You Should Follow 14:14 - Intro & Patron Thank You News: 16:05 - New York Times May List 17:20 - April Bookscan list  22:44 - Demon Slayer’s Ending, Spinoffs, & Circulation Numbers 28:36 - Yuuna of the Haunted Hot Springs ends  30:02 - Bunta Kinami’s RWBY: The Official Manga ends  32:04 - Hinamatsuri ends on July 15th 32:45  - Oda’s One Piece update  34:57 - Boichi will draw an adaptation of One Piece: Ace novels  37:11 - Possible future Shonen Jump delays  39:18 - Golgo 13 goes on its first hiatus in 52 years due to COVID concerns 40:30 - Atsushi Okubo mentions that Fire Force is in its final stretch  41:22 - Akiko Higashimura’s new manga  42:27 - Ryoichi Ikegami’s new manga 43:27 - Fruits Basket The Three Musketeers arc manga launches 2nd season 44:08 - Yen Press will simulpub Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers & Fruits Basket Another chapter 13  44:33 - Yen Press Star Wars licenses 46:18 - Jujutsu Kaisen & Demon Slayer Gaps Filled in Shonen Jump Vault 48:11 - Kodansha & Vertical release manga digitally on InkyPen  49:03 - Kodansha Comics licenses new manga for digital debut in June  54:36 - Kodansha drops Drops of God volume 12-22 on Comixology  55:38 - Cross Infinite World licenses Hello I Am a Witch and My Crush Wants Me to Make a Love Potion novels 56:40 - Drawn & Quarterly to Publish Yoshiharu Tsuge's Red Flowers, Shigeru Mizuki's Tono Monogatari Manga 59:57 -  New Seven Seas licenses 1:15:00 - Tentai Books licenses 1:18:48 - Manga Planet licenses 11 new cat manga  1:24:44 - New Futekiya licenses  1:26:26  - Manga Rock shuts down with launch of INKR comics 1:28:16 - Former Viz exec moves to Netflix  1:28:50 - New Crunchyroll J-APAC Content Strategy Head 1:29:27 - Con cancellations & Virtual Cons 1:32:40 - Anime postponements 1:35:03 - New Prince of Tennis anime 1:36:06 - New InuYasha sequel series: Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon 1:42:48 - Hollywood’s Gatchaman film will tell an “original story”  1:43:44 - Sony developing One-Punch Man film with Venom writers  1:49:35 - Kingdom Live-Action film gets sequel  1:49:56 -  Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop remake is already planning its second season 1:51:07 - Netflix Anime Announcements 1:53:47 - One Piece dub resumes  1:54:31 - Crunchyroll dubs resume  1:55:05 - Crunchyroll adds City Hunter  1:55:33 - Discotek licenses 1:58:36 - Shonen Jump Vault Opens Up Free Chapters Every Friday  1:59:21 - Shonen Jump+ Contest 2:00:07 - Tezuka Manga Award  2:02:17 - Goo’s Top 10 Shonen Sunday manga list  2:15:02 - Community Shout-Out: Anime Lockdown 2:16:37 - Wrap-Up 2:23:55 - In Memoriam: Zac Bertschy Enjoy the show, and follow us on twitter at @manga_mavericks, on tumblr at mangamavericks.tumblr.com, and on Youtube!

Black Lives Matter.  Manga Mavericks stands in support of Black Americans and against the systemic racism and violence perpetrated by the police and the U.S. government.  There are many ways to help the Black Lives Matter movement, be it engaging in the protests yourselves or by donating to those fighting on the front lines. We’ve included links in the description of this podcast for people to learn more about petitions to sign and places to donate. We’ve donated all of our Patreon earnings from this year and hundreds of our own dollars to Bail Funds and Charities supporting progressive movements for change across the country, and if you can give, we strongly encourage you to do so. Otherwise, you can even watch videos donating all their ad money to charities too. Again, there are many ways to help, and every bit counts. To quote a great moment from The Boondocks: "What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?"

We're back from holiday break! The Astros cheated to win the World Series and get to another one, and also in the season in between. The players should be much more punished than they are, but labor negotiations maybe?!?! This episode, we're talking about Yuki Midorikawa's Natsume's Book of Friends published by Viz and Akiko Higashimura's Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey published by Seven Seas. The music you heard at the top of the episode was "Issei no Sei" by Shūhei Kita, the opening from the Natsume's Book of Friends anime. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen's writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post. Listen Show notes: 0:54 - We talk about Natsume's Book of Friends! 10:29 - We talk about Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey! Next time is With the Light and Laid Back Camp!

A Josei manga series about a group of otaku women known as the Amars, who would rather stay in and indulge in their hobbies then go out and face the world, that is until they are faced with creating their own clothing line in order to save their dormitory! And thats just the tip of the iceberg, as we find more and more themes in the story to unpack as the discussion goes on! Before that though, we also talk to Morgana about what its like to work in a comic book shop, and the trials and tribulations that come with selling and recommending manga to customers!

Covers volumes 1–10 of Kimi ni Todoke by Karuho ShiinaThe year 2018 marked the end of an era: After 30 volumes, the deeply treasured Kimi ni Todoke is over. And to mark this special occasion, we’re once again embarking on a trilogy of podcasts. Shojo & Tell host Ashley is a huge Kimi ni Todoke fan, as is Anime Feminist author/editor and all-around shojo manga connoisseur Caitlin Moore. The two gush about the series’ best qualities (particularly the developments of healthy and tender female friendships) and how Ayane is the best character but Chizu is more relatable. Kazehaya is called “a good boy” several times. Constant questions about whether Pin is good or bad come up. Angry exclamations of KENTOOOOOO!! YOU IDIOT!! happen. A rant about how several men in Ashley’s life have very WRONG opinions about Shiina’s series ensues. Sawako captures our hearts and doesn’t let go. Here’s a message, from me to you: Kimi ni Todoke is a delight.Click here for a transcript of this episodeREFERENCESKimi ni Todoke is available from Viz Media’s Shojo Beat in North AmericaThe Kimi ni Todoke anime is available on Crunchyroll (if you’ve only watched the anime, you can follow this podcast episode)Some of Caitlin’s other favorite shojo manga: Yona of the Dawn, BasaraShojo anime Ashley watched along with Kimi ni Todoke: Skip Beat, Say “I love you”, My Little MonsterSome images Ashley took of the Kimi ni Todoke Exhibit that happened at Tokyo Anime Center in DNP Plaza back in March/April 2018Are we friends with Akiko Higashimura yet?Outro song: “My Love All For You ‘Kimi ni Todoke...’” by MAY’S [ending song of the second season of the Kimi ni Todoke anime].

Football season has started, the NFL is still a terrible organization, and the Chicago Bears couldn’t pull it off against the greatest quarterback to play, Aaron Rodgers. Sigh. This episode, we’re talking about Shigeru Mizuki’s Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths published by Drawn and Quarterly and Akiko Higashimura’s Tokyo Tarareba Girls published by Kodansha. That song you heard at the top of the episode is “The Weapon” (Part II of “Fear”) by Rush. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen’s writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post.

Covers volumes 9 to 17 of Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura Don your armor (read: your prettiest, frilliest dress) and get ready to defend Tsukimi and all the residents of Amamizukan from corporate kidnapper Kai Fish. Guest Carrie McClain (an editor at Black Nerd Problems) and host Ashley list off the moments that made them cry in the second half, what clothes come to mean for the Amars, who has agency (and who doesn’t), and have one of the most epic Shipping Corners on the podcast yet. (Shu!! How dare you worm your way into our hearts like this?! HOW DARE YOU make us doubt Kuranosuke x Tsukimi for even a minute?!) Plus, in an author’s note, Higashimura questions why Princess Jellyfish is so popular in America, so Ashley and Carrie, as Americans, provide personal (and speculative) answers. LINKS Princess Jellyfish is available from Kodansha USA physically and digitally You can watch the 11-episode anime over on Funimation Higashimura also did Tokyo Tarareba Girls, which was a digital-first initiative from Kodansha that's now getting a print run. Listen to our episode about it here. Kuranosuke still does not identify as an okama What is a fujoshi? Hana-Kimi is available from Viz Media Harajuku and fashion Correction when talking about Maid-sama: Takumi Usui is actually 3/4s Japanese, 1/4 English, and his half-brother Gerald Walker is the reverse. Which just makes their genetic stereotypes even more ridiculous in the manga. (To show that Takumi is mixed-race, he has blond hair and green eyes, both recessive genes.) This was mentioned at some point during our Maid-sama coverage. Listen to our first Maid-sama episode here. The manga is also available from Viz Media. Higashimura’s divorce news Deb Aoki’s article in Publisher’s Weekly about why manga is booming in the West right now Outro song: “Kokodake no Hanashi” by Chatmonchy (the opening of the Princess Jellyfish anime) SOCIAL Find Carrie's work on Black Nerd Problems, where she writes lots about comics Follow Carrie on Twitter @DivineBlkPearl Follow Shojo & Tell on Twitter @shojoandtell Follow Shojo & Tell on Instagram @shojoandtell Follow Ashley on Twitter @AshMcD00 Comments, questions, constructive criticism, concerns?

Covers volumes 1 to 8 of Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura Chances are you’ve heard heaps and heaps of praise bestowed upon this manga about a jellyfish otaku whose life is changed forever by a crossdresser. That praise is HELLA ACCURATE. Carrie McClain (an editor at Black Nerd Problems) and host Ashley reveal how much they’ve become Princess Jellyfish otaku by fangirling all over the Amars and Kuranosuke, dissecting how Higashimura explores identity politics through the narrative and motifs in the art, and remind you that everybody, EVERYBODY, is an otaku. Yes, even straight-laced, stuffy Shu. He’s a Tsukimi otaku. LINKS Princess Jellyfish is available from Kodansha USA physically and digitally You can watch the 11-episode anime over on Funimation Higashimura also did Tokyo Tarareba Girls, which was a digital-first initiative from Kodansha that's now getting a print run. Listen to our episode about it here. Tokyopop had a line of comics back in the day called Chix Comics. Groan. Are you living the NEET life? Kuranosuke does not identify as an okama Records of the Three Kingdoms, aka what Mayaya's always going on about Princess Jellyfish Nomu is probably insulted to be lumped in with My Hero Academia Nomu. Maybe. What is a fujoshi? Don't let your party get petrified in Final Fantasy Tenryū Arashiyama from Maid-sama, the much more problematic version of Kuranosuke. Listen to our first Maid-sama episode here. The manga is also available from Viz Media.

Time Codes: 00:00:27 - Introduction 00:02:32 - Back on schedule! 00:04:24 - Claudine 00:40:45 - Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Vol. 1 01:13:49 - Wrap up 01:15:01 - Contact us This is the June manga episode, and unlike Shea and Derek had been doing the past couple of shows, this month's manga episode actually comes out on the appropriate month...on time! And on the June show, the Two Guys discuss Riyoko Ikeda's Claudine(Seven Seas Entertainment), a shōjo narrative set in historical France. The titular figure is a trans man, feeling trapped inside of his female body. Claudine's journey takes him through several relationships, a lot of disappointments, and frustrations on not being understood. Next, Shea and Derek discuss the first volume of Akiko Higashimura's new series, Tokyo Tarareba Girls(Kodansha Comics). While the style of this josei series is similar to Princess Jellyfish, the focus is more mature -- and even more comedic -- than that of her previous series. The guys discuss both the comedy and the messaging that seems to come through the story proper, and then contrast that tone with that of the "Bonus Story" that ends this first volume.  

Covers all 9 volumes of The Full-Time Wife Escapist by Tsunami Umino What would it be like to get married as a job? Megan DeYarman (of The Manga Test Drive) and host Ashley dive into The Full-Time Wife Escapist’s (very good) takes on alternatives to traditional marriage, family generally, and employment in particular (scheduling out twice-monthly hug dates may not be as weird and emotionless as it seems!). Plus, there’s plenty of gushing about the respectful representation of older virgins, a nice in-depth character walkthrough of the main cast (Mikuri, Hiramasa, Kazami, Yuri), and a helpful quiz to figure out what job Mikuri should be pursuing with her psychology degree. EPISODE CHAPTER TIME CODES Intro: 0:00 to 5:19 SPOILERS AFTER 5:19 Character walkthrough: 5:30 to 21:15 Proverbs: 21:16 to 23:45 Alternative relationship structures: 23:45 to 29:45 Alternative business ideas: 29:45 to 35:10 Alternative family structures: 35:10 to 38:10 Art corner: 38:10 to 42:35 Quiz: 42:35 to 50:00 Shipping corner: 50:00 to 57:30 Final thoughts/outro: 57:30 to end LINKS This series is available from Kodansha USA This manga was the basis for a very popular drama in Japan that, at the time of this podcast episode’s publication, isn’t available in English. But you can watch a trailer from the TBS Company (with subtitles) here. Also you may remember some “koi dance” videos from a few years ago. Those were based on the ED for the above-mentioned drama. Definitely check out this one done by folks working at the American Embassy in Japan for Christmas 2016.

We’re taking a short break from Shonen Jump-related podcast to talk about a creator celebrating a special 50th anniversary milestone – Go Nagai! 2018 is the 50th year of the legendary mangaka's career, and he’s seen a resurgence of popularity thanks to a slew of new anime based on his works like Mazinger Z: Infinity, Cutie Honey Universe, and most famously, Devilman Crybaby! To celebrate Go Nagi’s legacy and the renaissance of his work in the anime community, we’re discussing the original Devilman manga, recently released in the U.S. for the first time in a beautiful hardcover edition courtesy of Seven Seas! Joining us is our good friend and devilishly handsome Go Nagai devotee Josh Dunham, host of Senpai Coast to Coast of co-founder of Wave Motion Cannon! We go over Go Nagi’s career, what inspired him to write Devilman, and how his personal demons may have carried over into his work. Josh provides a ton of wonderful insight on the chaotic, anarchic mind of Nagai, making for one of our best analytical discussion so far! This podcast has literally been two years in the making – we’ve been planning to do a Devilman podcast with Josh since we first had him on the show all the way back in July 2016, so it’s exciting to see it finally come to fruition! Sit back and listen as we explore the macabre world of Devilman and gleam as many insights we can from its dark and twisted world. But first, we’ve got our usual news roundup to go through! We discuss the Oricon Top Selling Manga list, which has some surprising series making it on to the top ten! Then, we discuss the deaths of several manga magazines in print, and speculate whether this trend heralds the end for manga magazines in general. Plus we discuss a lot of new manga, new licenses, and new anime that we’re really looking forward to!

Time Codes: 00:00:26 - Introduction 00:02:33 - Setting up the episode 00:04:17 - More listener mail! 00:06:49 - Completing Monster 00:49:03 - Completing Otherworld Barbara 01:14:28 - Completing other manga series 01:26:25 - Wrap up 01:27:47 - Contact us On this episode of the monthly manga series -- the April show, actually, albeit late -- Shea and Derek revisit some of the titles that they had previously discussed. They talk about these series now that they have more volumes under their belts, and in some cases, have completed the entire series. The first of these that they discuss is Naoki Urasawa's Monster(VIZ Media), a title that they first discussed in their July 2015 episode. The last volume of the English-language Perfect Editions was released in summer of 2016, and both Shea and Derek explore their experiences finishing up the series. As they reveal, Urasawa has a penchant for vast, multi-leveled narratives, filled with a wide cast of characters, and the guys discuss this style of storytelling, its thrills as well as its challenges. Next, they turn to the completion of a story they first discussed on the September 2016 manga episode, Moto Hagio's Otherworld Barbara (Fantagraphics). The second volume of this series was published in August of last year, and the guys revisit Hagio's storyworld and its wrap-up. As they mentioned on their earlier episode, this is a complex, even vertiginous, narrative that involves dreamscapes, multiple narrative levels, and time interplay. Both of them appreciate Hagio's conclusion, although at times they wonder about the story's lapses into sentimentalism, and if the various narrative threads may not be a bit unwieldy. Finally, the guys discuss other manga series that they've been keeping up with, even completing, individually. For Shea, that includes ONE and Yusuke Murata's One-Punch Man and Yusei Matsui's Assassination Classroom, both published by VIZ Media. Derek waxes enthusiastically about Inio Asano's Goodnight Punpun(VIZ Media), Kengo Hanazawa's I Am a Hero(Dark Horse Manga), and Akiko Higashimura's Princess Jellyfish(Kodansha Comics).

Gives me time to procrastinate on watching everything else. This episode, we’re talking about Ai Yazawa’s Paradise Kiss published by Vertical Comics and Akiko Higashimura’s Princess Jellyfish published by Kodansha. That song you heard at the top of the episode was “Koko Dake no Hanashi”by Chatmonchy from the Princess Jellyfish anime. Also included in this episode are “Lonely in Gorgeous” by Tommy february6 from the Paradise Kiss anime and “Kimi no Kirei ni Kizuiteokure” by Sambomaster, the ending from the Princess Jellyfish anime. As always, you can find me on Twitter @ImpassionateK, and my co-hosts Helen (@WanderinDreamr) and Apryll (@manjiorin) on Twitter at those places in the parenthesis. You can find both of their writing at The Organization of Anti-Social Geniuses, more of Helen’s writing at Narrative Investigations, and my writing at the Fandom Post.

Earlier this month the nominees for the 2017 Eisner Awards were announced at the Comic-Con International website, and as Andy and Derek like to do every year, they're devoting a full episode of The Comics Alternative to a discussion of the nominations. On this week's show, the Two Guys give their impressions of the various nominees, both as a whole and on a category-by-category basis, making observations and trying to understand any trends underlying this year's selections.
