After the Rain / Kageki Shojo

After the Rain / Kageki Shojo

Author: Taiiku Podcast September 9, 2021 Duration: 0:00
AEW Dynamite started while I podcasted and continued as I edited, and I just keep thinking about the incredible sequence of Adam Cole coming out, there being maybe a 1 percent chance he helps the faces, and then he superkicks Jungle Boy and gets kissed by the Young Bucks. Just absolutely incredible. I can't wait to watch Dynamite. This episode, we're talking about Jun Mayuzuki's After the Rain published by Vertical and Kumiko Saiki's Kageki Shojo!! published by Seven Seas. The songs you heard in this episode are "Nostalgic Rainfall" by CHiCO with HoneyWorks from the After the Rain anime, and "Hoshi no Orchestra" by saji and "Hoshi no Tabibito" by Sayaka Senbongi × Yumiri Hanamori from the Kageki Shojo 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: 0:57 - We talk about After the Rain! 11:36 - We talk about Kageki Shojo! Next time is The Whole of Humanity Has Gone Yuri Except for Me and The Apothecary Diaries!

Every three weeks, the hosts of Manga in Your Ears-Kory, Helen, and Apryll-settle in for a conversation that bridges the classic and the contemporary. Their format is straightforward but deeply engaging: they dive into one manga series that has already reached its conclusion, offering a full perspective on its story and impact. Then, they shift to discuss a different series that is either freshly finished or still unfolding in real time, capturing the immediate excitement of ongoing publication. This dual focus creates a unique rhythm, allowing for thoughtful retrospectives alongside the lively speculation that comes with following current releases. The discussions feel less like formal reviews and more like the kind of talk you’d have with friends who share a deep passion for the medium, dissecting character arcs, artistic choices, and narrative twists. Produced by Taiiku Podcast, this series sits comfortably at the intersection of Arts and Books, designed for anyone who appreciates the depth and diversity of manga storytelling. Tuning into this podcast is like getting a curated, bi-monthly guide to what’s worth reading, from timeless titles you might have missed to the latest chapters everyone is talking about.
