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!

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.

This episode we have an amazing guest re-joining us, the fantastic Shaun from Comics2Movies and XCT. So you know straight up it is going to be a great show! Also the DJ is on fire this week and makes us laugh till we cry. We begin with a look at an upcoming book release that is the biography of Milicent Patrick, the lady who designed the creature from the Black Lagoon. She has an amazing story that is sure to inspire many of us. It also looks at the harassment she faced and the ongoing issues in Hollywood today. Also discussed is the reaction of various law enforcement agencies in response to undesirable behaviours such as cyber-bullying. The topic is the 40th anniversary of Mad Max! That’s right the original movie that created a legend is 40 years old. There was a party in Victoria to celebrate with fans even coming from America. Of course this means we have to discuss the amazing films in the Mad Max franchise (even the recent Fury Road – which is suggested is not Mad Max, but you decide and let us know). Also this is when the DJ makes us laugh till we cry, listen out for it, believe me, it is amazingly funny. Next up is the Professor with some information about the PS5 and VR. Things are getting better with improved technology on the VR/AR front with arcades opening up around the place, but what is happening in the home? We then have the regular shoutouts, birthdays, and remembrances. Concluding with a chat about what Shaun is up to in terms of new projects to look forward to, so if you are planning on going to any of the comic conventions you will have to stop by and say G’Day, and check out what he has on offer. Particularly with his new graphic novels, so go along and check out his website and be amazed by the wondrous collection of artwork in the various comic books and graphic novels available for purchase alongside the extensive offering of various memorabilia there. So grab yourself a cup of tea and strap in for our latest instalment of Nerds Amalgamated.EPISODE NOTES:The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick- https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781335937803- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34993030-the-lady-from-the-black-lagoon- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1335937803/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=bustle-13212013-20&linkId=4eb67e222b74ad35b9b57f4e9dda23c0&language=en_USMad Max turns 40- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-03/mad-max-40th-anniversary/10775336- https://www.thecourier.com.au/story/5450660/mad-max-anniversary-event-ditches-clunes-location/PS5 VR/AR - https://gamingbolt.com/sony-knows-vr-ar-is-the-future-ps5-will-support-it-says-devGames Currently playingBuck, Professor & DJ – Apex Legends - https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legendsShaun – Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Jedi_Knight:_Jedi_AcademyOther topics DiscussedMillicent Patrick’s biography- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milicent_PatrickBlack Fury aka Miss Fury character bio- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Fury_(comics)- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-02-05/miss-fury-the-most-famous-superhero-youve-never-heard-of/10777988Cyberbullying in American and Australia- America - https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/23/us/florida-cyberstalking-charges-girl-suicide/index.html- Australia - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-10/dolly-everett-nt-suicide-cyber-bullying-campaign-launched/9317056MAD MAX Fan Magazine – Silver City on Kickstarter- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/467328161/mad-max-fan-magazine-silver-cityMad Max Franchise- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max_(franchise)George Miller wants to make more Mad Max movies- http://collider.com/george-miller-new-mad-max-movies/Amount of dialogue in Mad Max Fury Road- https://www.reddit.com/r/MadMax/comments/4eveny/full_dialogue_for_fury_road/Quentin Tarantino praises Mad Max Fury Road- https://www.indiewire.com/2015/12/quentin-tarantino-says-mad-max-fury-road-was-the-best-movie-he-saw-in-2015-95821/Playstation 5 will be backwards compatible- https://gamerant.com/ps5-backward-compatible/Playstation Eyetoy- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeToyWonder Boy (video game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Boy_(video_game)Ghouls and Ghosts (video game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouls_%27n_GhostsHungry Hungry Hippos the movie poster- http://i.imgur.com/dU5gS.jpgFortnite & PubG are banned in China- https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/650828/fortnite-pubg-could-banned-china/Kate Miller-Hidke (Australian singer-songwriter and actress)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Miller-HeidkeShoutouts24 Feb 2019 - Congrats to all the Oscars 2019 winners- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/91st_Academy_Awards- https://cometoverhollywood.com/2016/02/05/hollywood-capers-stolen-academy-awards/26 Feb 1935 - RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) first demonstrated by Robert Watson-Watt - https://www.wired.com/2008/02/dayintech-0226/29 Feb 1504 - Crafty Columbus plays a Leap Year Trick, many people born on February 29th curse their luck, but it can also bring luck and benefits as explorer Christopher Columbus demonstrated over 400 years ago. - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/crafty-columbus-plays-a-leap-year-trickRememberances21 Feb 2019 – Stanley Donen, American film director and choreographer whose most celebrated works are On the Town (1949) and Singin' in the Rain (1952), both of which starred Gene Kelly who co-directed.

Covers Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty by Megumi Morino (all six volumes of the series) “I can't believe Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty single-handedly convinced me that manga was not a mistake.” “This is up there with Erased and Princess Jellyfish for me as far as human relations go.” “I don't know if I'm going to be able to go back to manga after reading this manga, it was everything I ever wanted in a romance manga.” “This manga is much better than you would expect since nobody’s hyped it up — and we want to be the hype.” Quite simply, if you’re not reading Megumi Morino’s debut series, Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, you are missing out. It’s easily the most underrated shojo manga of the year. It’s short and sweet and you should read it. If you want to find out a bit more before committing to the six volumes, give the beginning of this a listen. The story follows a girl who gets possessed by ghosts, and a boy who is afraid of ghosts but ends up falling in love with her. Except it’s so much more than that. The Ashes delve into who their favorite spirit is, and then explain why actually, everything about this ends up being your favorite. SHIZU AND TETSU AND HARU AND AKIRA AND LITERALLY EVERYONE ARE JUST TOO GOOD Y’ALL.

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?!)

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.)

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.

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.

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.

Manga Mavericks has lasted an entire year! We've done so much in such a short time, and we couldn't have done it without your support! Thank you for listening and giving feedback on our podcasts. We have great things planned for 2017 as well, so stay tuned and stick around for what we've got in store! In the meantime, we've set up a year-end poll for you guys to take to gather some statistics and help us make the show better. Included are questions asking for your guys' opinions on future topics and guests we should have on the show, so please take the poll and give us some suggestions! Once again, though, we want to thank you guys for listening to our show and overall being awesome. And now, to end 2016 with a bang! 2016 was not a great year for life, but it was a great year for manga! So this week your titular Mavericks Colton and Sid list off their favorite things from manga in 2016, from news, to new licenses, to the best currently running series and best series finale! But first we have to round off the year with a whole heap of news, including Oricon's best selling manga of 2016 list, Diamond's Top 30 GNs of November 2016 list, the smorgasbord of new manga coming out next year, the big plans for One Piece next year, and of course, the most important bit of news, the new Dragon Ball spinoff manga where Yamcha is the main character. Yes, that Yamcha. So while you can argue 2016 was one of the worst years in human history, but no one can deny that it was one hell of an awesome year in manga, and today we're going to celebrate it one last time.
