You may or may not know that these two nerds Alex Segura and Sara Century have teamed up with Archie comics legend Pat Kennedy to create a new Patreon comic, The Forgotten Five! We've done a couple interviews about the project and I'll share some links below, but this chat was all about listing some of the major influences that went into the book. The Forgotten Five is a new webcomic, so you know that means we could use all the support we can get. It's at www.patreon.com/theforgottenfive  We are also working with Priya Saxena, who some of you may remember from Episode 3 about Spider-Woman. Priya is a professional copyeditor and is a dream to work with, so if you need some editing magic in your life, you can search her @ lettersofpriya on Bluesky and Instagram. Or just follow Priya for her cool zines and podcast work, she's the best! Alex is working on a million things right now, notably Dick Tracy, Star Wars, and The Question. Check out his website for all the cool stuff he writes: www.alexsegura.com/  An interview that Alex and I did for Comics Beat if you want to know more about The Forgotten Five: https://www.comicsbeat.com/interview-alex-segura-and-sara-century-talk-new-comic-the-forgotten-five/ 

We're back with a special content episode! Covering our time at New York Comic Con 2024, we talk about the manhwa-centric booths, signings, panels, creators, and experiences. We also elaborate on the Comics Beat anniversary party and plans for future content for all things Soju! --- Edited by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Ademola⁠⁠⁠⁠ Logo by ⁠⁠⁠⁠TonytoonArt⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠AmpRen⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠Amber⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Marion⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SojuManhwaPod⁠⁠

Seirou Opera on Kanoko Sakurokoujin historiallinen murhamysteeriromanssi, jossa päähenkilö myy itsensä kurtisaanioppilaaksi Edon punaisten lyhtyjen alue Yoshiwaraan päästäkseen vanhempiensa murhaajan jäljille. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme, miten digimanga-startup Orangen tekoälykäännöshehkutus vaikuttaa olleen aika lailla huijausta sekä siitä, miten shoujomangasta tunnettu Aya Kanno on aloittanut shounensarjan. Lukujonossa tutustumme Ivrean uuden tulemisen ensimmäiseen aaltoon, eli Chainsaw Maniin ja Demon Slayeriin. Kurkkaamme vähän ensivaikutelmia myös One Piecen uudesta käännöksestä. --- Kommentoi | Threads | Mastodon | Bluesky | X | Instagram --- (01:13) – KUULUMISET: VUOKRAPERHEET - Kuten viime jakossa mainittiin: uusi Mangakartta-jakso ilmestyy nykyisin joka kuukauden kolmas torstai (paitsi tämä jakso, joka oli viikon myöhässä) - Vuokraperheet - Traileri (YouTube) - Rental Family, tuleva amerikkalais-japanilainen yhteistuotantoleffa samasta aiheesta - The New Yorkerin artikkeli vuokraperhebisneksestä, jonka alkuun on sittemmin lisätty korjausteksti siitä, miten vuokraperhefirmojen asiakkaina haastatellut henkilöt ovatkin todennäköisesti olleet vuokraperhefirman työntekijöitä itse ja vain esiintyneet haastattelijalle asiakkaina - The New Republicin artikkeli siitä, miten The New Yorkerin kirjoittaja meni vipuun vuokraperheartikkelissa - Family Romance, itseään mediassa ahkerasti esillä pitävä vuokraperhefirma - Family Romance, LLC, Werner Herzogin aiempi elokuva vuokraperhebisneksestä, jossa Family Romancen toimitusjohtaja Yuichi Ishii esiintyi pääosassa - Ashita watashi wa dareka no kanojo - Nytleffaan.fi-sivustolta löytää kätevästi kaikkien elokuvateatterien näytökset - Tabicinen edellinen elokuva The Good Father (15:06) – SEIROU OPERA: ESITTELY - Seirou opera - Betsucomi-lehti - Akanen vanhemmat tappanut mies, jolla on puolikuun muotoinen syntymämerkki (kuva) (22:36) – SEIROU OPERA: YOSHIWARA JA SARJAN MAAILMA - Sakuran, Moyoco Annon Yoshiwaraan sijoittuva manga - Yoshiwara, Edon punaisten lyhtyjen alue - Oiran - Oiranin kulkue oli nähtävyys (kuva) - Kurtisaanien kohtalot saattoivat olla hyvin surullisia (kuva) - Kohtauksessa tautien takia sekava kurtisaani ottaa puodista hiusneulan, koska houreilee asiakkaansa ostaneen sen hänelle, ja Soosuke estää puodin omistajaa lyömästä kurtisaania ja ostaa hiusneulan tälle - Petteri sanoi vahingossa klamydia, mutta oikeasti tuona aikana jylläsi kuppa - Chonmage oli miesten semipakollinen kampaus Edo-kaudella (49:20) – SEIROU OPERA: KERRONTA JA VISUAALIT - Sakurakouji avaa jälkikirjoituksessa japanilaisen naisen kampauksen rakentamista (ja huomauttaa, että tätä kampausta ei sitten tosielämässä avattu yhdellä sormella vaikka Soosuke niin tarinan kohtauksesssa tekeekin (kuva) - Viereisellä sivulla Soosuke ja Riichiroo miettivät kiusaantuneina, että lyhyiden hiusten kanssa on paljon mukavampi olla kuin chonmagen, ja Akane toruu Soosukea tämän huonosta ja tökeröstä kuontalosta (59:19) – SEIROU OPERA: AKANE JA SOOSUKE - Kun Akane ja useat muut kurtisaanit joutuvat siepatuksi ja heitä pidetään vankina, Akane pitää moraalia yllä ja vaatii vangeille ruokaa ja kunnollisia vessakäyntejä (kuva) - Akane ehtii viime hetkellä karata lukitusta huoneesta ja juosta kattoja pitkin esiintymislavan lähelle ja ilmestyy parvekkeelle lavan yläpuolelle ja hyppää Soosuken syliin spektaakkelimaisesti (kuva) - Samuraiperheen tyttärenä ja näin ollen naginatan taitajana Akane käyttelee survereenisti aseenaan kaikenlaisia sauvoja (kuva) - Tämä päätyy taiteilijan näkemyksellä varustettuna uutislehtisiin, joissa kerrotaan miten “samuraiperheestä oleva oiran-oppilas puolusti naginatalla hyökkäyksen kohteeksi joutunutta rakastettuaan” (kuva) - Soosuke haastaa riitaa etenkin vihaamiensa samuraiden kanssa (kuva) - Oikeasti samurait eivät saaneet tuoda miekkojaan Yoshiwaraan sisälle, vaan ne piti jättää portille. Mutta kaipa tätä vahdittiin aika leväperäisesti, kuten kaikkia sääntöjä Yoshiwarassa. - Kagemat olivat Edo-kauden poikaprostituoituja - Soosuke sanoo vihaavansa Akanea, mutta sitten heti perään väkisinpussaa ja ilmoittaa aikovansa saada Akanen antautumaan hänelle täydellisesti, ihme tyyppi (kuva) - Akane ei edes muista hänen ja Soosuken ensikohtaamista, vaikka se jäi kalvamaan Soosukea (kuva) - Riichiroo selittää Soosukelle, että kiva juttu että haluat auttaa, mutta kai tajuat, ettet voi ikinä saada Akanea vaimoksesi, jos hänen tavoitteensa perheensä samurai-arvon palauttamiseksi toteutuu (kuva) - Soosuke provosoi järkyttyneen Akanen takaisin jaloilleen sen sijaan, että yrittäisi manipuloida hänet vaimokseen (kuva) - Akane ja Soosuke kiukuttelevat toisilleen jatkuvasti… (kuva) - Tässä Soosuke härnää Akanea sanomalla, että kurtisaanioppilaiden on jaettava futoninsa asiakkaan kanssa, ja että kielletty hedelmä saattaa silloin houkuttaa häntä liikaa. Akane toteaa pahastuneena, että mikäli Soosuke yrittää mitään, hän aikoo huutaa ja varmistaa, ettei Soosuke enää pääse Akebonoroohon. Soosuke perääntyy ja lupaa olla kiltisti. Akane harmittelee mielessään, ettei taaskaan ole ollut hyvää hetkeä kiittää aikaisemmasta palveluksesta, kun Soosuke on aina mahdoton. - …mutta siitä huolimatta tunteet vain kipinöivät! (kuva) - Tässä Soosuke selittää väärinkäsitystä, ettei hän suinkaan ole kihloissa, vaan hänen seurassaan ollut henkilö oli naisroolien kabuki-näyttelijä Kikunojoo. Kun hän huomaa Akanen purskahtaneen itkuun, hän vaikeroi, että Akane ei suostu hänen vaimokseen ja pyytää auttamaan Akanen samurai-statuksen palauttamisessa, vaikka he eivät silloin koskaan voi yhdessä, mutta silti Akane ei halua antaa hänen olla kenenkään muunkaan kanssa. Akane miettii, että heillä ei voi olla yhteistä tulevaisuutta ja jonain päivänä heidän täytyy erota. - Vaikka Akane on paljon nuorempi ja haavoittuvassa asemassa, on hänen ja Soosuken suhde kuitenkin tasavertaisen tuntuinen (kuva) - Kuvan kohtauksessa Akane kutsuu Soosuken jakamaan futoninsa “en halua että lähdet kotiin tänään”, ja Soosukea hermostuttaa, kun Akane kiehnää kovin lähellä (01:21:29) – SEIROU OPERA: AKEBONOROON HAHMOT - Uskollinen palvelija Riichiroo on Akanelle kuin isoveli ja pestautuu Akebonoroohon miespalvelijaksi olemaan tämän tukena (kuva) - Kuvan kohtauksessa Riichiroo sanoo Akanelle, että varmasti kuolleet rakkaat haluaisivat Akanen olevan ennemmin onnellinen kuin heittävän onnensa pois koston vuoksi - Häikäilemätön Yukari kertoo Akanelle, että Yoshiwarassa ei ole ystäviä vaan ainoastaan kilpailijoita, ja hän aikoo tulla Yoshiwaran suurimmaksi oiraniksi ja vihjaa, että tietää Akanen ja Riichiroon suhteen olevan erityinen ja pitävänsä heitä silmällä heikkouksien varalta (kuva) - Yukari on kotoisin köyhistä oloista, joten hänelle elämä Yoshiwarassa on vain tie ylöspäin, ja hänen on vaikea sietää langenneita rikkaita tyttöjä, joille sinne päätyminen on kamala kohtalo (kuva) - Kuvan kohtauksessa Yukari miettii, että hänelle Yoshiwara tuntui paratiisilta, jossa ei tarvinnut nähdä nälkää ja jossa kovalla työllä saattoi edetä parempaan elämään. Akanen säälivä toteamus siitä, että kaikkien Yoshiwaraan päätyneiden on täytynyt kokea kamalia asioita, ärsyttää Yukaria, joka miettii, että tuo tyttö ei ole koskaan kokenut elämässään todellisia vaikeuksia. - Yukari alkaa kokea tunteita Riichiroota kohtaan, vaikka on aina ollut sitä mieltä, että rakkaus on vain sairaus joka saa naiset tekemään tyhmiä elämänvalintoja (kuva) - Sankin kootai -järjestelmän vuoksi lääninherrojen täytyi asua joka toinen vuosi Edossa ja joka toinen vuosi läänissään, jolloin shogunaatti pystyi pitämään heidän omaisuuttaan ja perhettään panttivankina kapinoiden ehkäisemiseksi - Oiran Asakeno on kylmä ja vaativa, mutta kuitenkin välittää pikkusisaristaan (kuva) - Sydämellinen oiran Aoi suhtautuu huumorilla siihen, että Akane yllätti hänet ja poikaystävänsä petipuuhista (kuva) - Aoi kertoo, että hän saa epävirallisesti viettää yhden yön kuussa poikaystävänsä Sakichin kanssa – kunhan maksaa yöstä itse - Aoi ja Sakichi ovat onnellisia rakastavaisia nyt, kun Aoin perheen traaginen epäonni on nyt kuitenkin johtanut siihen, että he voivat edes jollain tavalla olla yhdessä (kuva) - Aoi ja Sakichi kertovat, että vaikka he eivät voikaan viettää yhdessä erityisen romanttisena pidettyä täyden kuun yötä – koska Aoin täytyy silloin olla ykkösasiakkaansa kanssa – niin he ovat yhdessä sitten sitä edeltävän yön. Akane miettii, että vaikka hänellä ja Soosukella ei tule olemaan yhteistä tulevaisuutta, niin toivottavasti Aoi ja Sakichi voivat vielä saada toisensa. (01:42:56) – SEIROU OPERA: MUUT HAHMOT - Kauppias Matsuzakaya on maailman kuumin vanhempi herrasmies (kuva) - Virkamies Mitsuhashi vaikuttaa pintapuolisesti vähän hönöltä nuorten neitojen perässä juoksijalta, mutta paljastuu viekkaammaksi kuin ensin vaikuttaa (kuva) - Kabuki-näyttelijä Kikunojoo Seyama on Soosuken BFF, joka tässä kohtauksessa kiusoittelee Soosukea Akanesta (kuva) - Oikean maailman naisrooleihin erikoistunut kabuki-näyttelijälinja Kikunojoo Segawa - One Piecen transnaishahmo Kikunojoo on saanut inspiraation samasta hahmosta (varo spoilereita Wa-maa-juonikaaresta!) (01:51:06) – SEIROU OPERA: JULKAISU JA SEN PUUTE - Fanikäännöksen laatu on etenkin ensimmäisten 10 luvun verran luokaton, ja senkin jälkeen juonen seuraamista vaikeuttavia virheitä löytyy joka luvusta. Onneksi käännös paranee sarjan edetessä, ja ihan lopussa se on jo ihan OK. - Yoshiwaran sääntöjen mukaan miesasiakkaan tulee sitoutua yhteen kurtisaaniin, mutta fanikäännöstä lukemalla asia ei tule välttämättä yhtään selväksi (kuva) - Fanikäännöksessä paljastus siitä, että Soojiroo etsii Yoshiwarasta sinne aikoinaan myytyä siskoaan menee kokonaan pilalle – oikeasti samurai sanoo tässä “ehkä me ollaan köyhiä, mutta ei sentään niin köyhiä että meidän vanhemmat olisi myyneet meidän siskoja bordelliin, toisin kuin sinun siskollesi kävi” (kuva) - Ja asia mainitaan vielä heti seuraavalla sivulla! - Natsume Arata no kekkon (02:05:33) – SEIROU OPERA: SPOILERIOSIO (spoilerivaroitus) - Hupsis, Maaret puhuu välillä vähän epätarkasti petoksesta, vaikka kyseessä sarjassa ovat syytökset lahjusten antamisesta ja ottamisesta - Kaksoisitsemurha… vai onko?! (kuva) - Soosuke saa Nakamuran haaviinsa ennen Akanea ja on varannut koko Akebonoroon juhlistaakseen uutta liikekumppaniaan, jolloin Akanella ei ole muuta vaihtoehtoa kuin ottaa hänet takaisin (kuva) - Joviaali mutta epäilyttävä tohtori Makimura työskentelee päivisin lääkärinä ja öisin salaisena agenttina (kuva) - Kuvan kohtauksessa Makimura sattuu piiloutumaan yökeikalla Akanen huoneeseen epämääräisen selityksen kera, ja Akane miettii, että Makimuralla on paljon pahaenteisempi aura kuin päivällä heidän kohdatessaan, ja että Makimura haisee vereltä - Akane jää epämiellyttävästi Soosuken ja Seijiroon väliin, ja Seijiroo on aika punaisten lippujen mies (kuva) - Akane kohtaa viimein Nakamuran (kuva) - Kuvan kohtauksessa Nakamura selittää Akanelle, että on tajunnut, että hän Akane on hänen ahdinkonsa ja korruptionsa paljastumisen syypää, ja että hän ei voi edes tehdä seppukua rauhassa ennen kuin saa tietää, kuka Akane on ja missä kohtaa peliään hän epäonnistui, kun sai Akanen kimppuunsa. Akane haluaa saada Nakamuran ymmärtämään, että tämän “peli” itsessään on rikos, ja kertoo olevansa Nagakuran tytär ja kuinka paljon vanhempien ja ystävien tapattaminen on häntä satuttanut. Nakamura kuitenkin toteaa, ettei ollut henkilökohtaisesti vanhempien murhan takana, eikä edes muista Aoita ja Sakichia, eikä ymmärrä, miksi Akane on niin vihainen – kun eihän hän nyt itse jokaista tielleen tulevaa ötökkää vaivaudu liiskaamaan, kun hänen suosioonsa haluavat tekevät niin itsenäisesti. Akane kauhistuu kun tajuaa, ettei Nakamuralla ole mitään ongelmaa muiden elämän ja kunnian tuhoamisessa omaa peliään edistääkseen. - Ja sitten lopultakin pannaan! (kuva) - Asakeno itkee rakastamansa Matsuzakayan perään, kun ei voinut valita tätä ostajakseen (kuva) (02:31:32) – SEIROU OPERA: SUPERSPOILERIOSIO - One Piecessäkin on tuttu juttu se samuraiden vanhan ajan kunniakoodi, että haavat selässä ovat pelkuruuden merkki: - Pokkari 6 (kuva) - Pokkari 59 (kuva) - Kuunsirppimies paljastuu! (kuva) - Onnellinen loppu (kuva) (02:43:38) – SEIROU OPERA: YHTEENVETO - Jakso 7, jossa puhuimme Seirou operan alusta lukujonossa (02:47:02) – DIGIMANGAJULKAISIJA ORANGE JA SUURI TEKOÄLYHUIJAUS - Jakso 101, jossa puhuimme viimeksi Orangen digimangasuunnitelmista - Manga Alertsin twiittiketju Orangen Anime Expossa jakamista manganäytteistä - Emaqi-palvelu (tarvitsee VPN-palvelun käytön) - …Mutta tältä se osapuilleen näyttää (kuva) - Anjou the Mischievous Gal - Orange ilmoitti kääntävänsä Shueishalle kaikki Jump Plus -oneshotit, ja reaktiot eivät olleet positiivisia - Orangen lehdistötiedote - Manga Alertsin kohutwiitti siitä, miten Orange oikeasti käyttää ihmiskääntäjiä - Manga Alerts ei ihan tunnu ymmärtävän sitä, että eri yleisöille tiedotetaan ja viestitään eri tavoilla… - Deb Aokin haastattelu Comics Beat -sarjakuvauutissivustolla - Hyvää ja nopeaa, mutta entä se halpuus? - Sijoitushuijaukseltahan tämä vain tuntuu (02:59:03) – AYA KANNON UUSI SARJA ON SHOUNENMANGA - Aya Kanno ja uusi sarjansa Meioo no zakuro - Psychometrer Eiji - Fuyumi Soryo - Maaretin artikkeli Fuyumi Soryosta Anime-lehden numerossa 2/2017 (pdf) - CLAMP - Fumi Yoshinaga - Junji Ito, jonka sarjoista puhuimme jaksossa 30 - Spica Aoki (03:19:47) – KUULIJAKOMMENTTI: CARDCAPTOR SAKURA JA MY MONSTER SECRET - Cardcaptor Sakura - My Monster Secret (03:24:31) – KUULIJAKOMMENTTI: KIYO IN KYOTO - Kiyo in Kyoto (03:33:27) – KUULIJAKOMMENTTI: LOTTA SVÄRD - WOMEN OF WAR - Lotta Svärd - Women of War - Jaksoja, joiden lukujoista löytyy muitakin kuin mangaa: - 32: Check, Please - 52: Heartstopper - 103: Anni K:n omakustannelyhärit - 86: Breath of the Wild ja Tears of the Kingdom - 99: The Good Father - 63: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation - 98: Tällä tavalla hävitään aikasota (03:37:35) – KUULIJAKOMMENTTI: SUOSITUKSIA JA CONEJA - The Apothecary Diaries - Kaiju No. 8 - Comic Con Suomi - Kibecon - Jakso 104, jossa puhuimme kuulijakommenttiosiossa coneista - Jakso 41, jossa puhuimme jaksolatauksista - Bonusjakso, jossa puhuimme maailmanrakennuksesta (03:45:02) – LUKUJONOSSA: IVREAN CHAINSAW MAN JA DEMON SLAYER - Jakso 97 ja jakso 100, joissa olemme puhuneet Ivrean uudesta tulemisesta - Ivrea Suomen nettisivut - Jakso 77, jossa puhuimme Chainsaw Manista - Demon Slayer - Kimetsu no Yaiba - Antti Valkaman twiitti Ivrean One Piece -käännöksen näytesivuista - Vertailun vuoksi Valkaman oma käännös vuodelta 2005: - Sivu 1 (kuva) - Sivu 2 (kuva) - Sivu 3 (kuva) - Sivu 4 (kuva) (04:09:42) – LOPETUS

"Comixology is a dead man walking". Amazon has had quite a time with its digital comics platform. An upgrade that broke the app. 75% of the staff fired. An angry customer base. Tanking sales. Todd Allen's article in The Comics Beat gave the best look into the ongoing disaster and is here to give Jon and Elliott all the details. Why did Comixology sell to Amazon in the first place? Does a customer confidence problem make a difference? And how long before Marvel gets fed up? [EP317]

By special request, this episode is a monologue about graphic novels in libraries. It was created for Karen Gavigan's students at Old Dominion University (Go Monarchs!), but I think there's plenty for a general audience to appreciate and dissect. We talk about the rising popularity of comics, particularly for younger readers and manga, perceived notions of quality in reading material, booktalking, professional reading, and suggestions for classroom activities. “People used to laugh at me when I said kids liked reading comics. Now everyone laughs while they count their money.” - Raina Telgemeier’s Guts is the bestselling BOOK overall in the US this week - Heidi Macdonald, Comics Beat, 2019 Streaming Anime Lifts Manga Sales - Deb Aoki, Publishers Weekly, 2021 Using Graphic Novels In The English Language Arts Classroom by William Boerman-Cornell and Jung Kim 9781350112698 Teaching Artfully by Meghan Parker 9781951038205

SDCC 2018: The Annual Comics Journalism Panel (Chronicling The New Comics Canon, 19th July 2018) Comics journalism is at such a crossroads at the moment, with journalism in all mediums itself under attack from all fronts (and even from within its own ranks); those that are tasked with reporting on the comics landscape and industry find themselves balancing many tightropes and under threat of being charged of bias, politically, sociologically, ideologically. It's a strange place to find oneself in. As it happens, the one that succeed the most in this field of journalism are those with strong voices and experience and willing to use those voices and that experience to defend their opinions and lead the charge for honest and respectable comics criticism. The Comics Beat's esteemed Heidi McDonald leads this collection of such voices in the San Diego Comic-Con Annual Comics Journalism Panel, under the title of 'Chronicling The New Comics Canon', in which they discuss the need and necessity for canon in both story and publication, as well as talking about the strengths of good comics appreciation, the desire for strong editorial leadership and guidance, and the current state of comics criticism. Thanks to the panel for allowing me to record the session for posting - they consisted of: Heidi MacDonald (The Beat) Valerie Complex (Braxton) Kat Overland (Women Write About Comics) Rob McMonigal (Panel Pater) Andrew Steven Harris (Former writer, Wizard Magazine) GATECRASHER Fred Van Lente (The Comic Book History of Comics) Albert Ching (former CBR Managing Editor)

A B-O-Y N-A-M-E-D C-H-A-R-L-I-E B-R-U-H-N Darn it! I just lost the National Spelling Bee! AUGHHHHHHHH! Well, at least I can empathize with Charlie Brown's trials and tribulations in his first big screen outing, A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN, a box office hit in 1969. Charlie Brown has a shot at shedding his "failure face" when he wins the school spelling bee and heads off to the - gasp! - National Spelling Bee!
