An Invitation from a Crab / Guyabano Holiday

An Invitation from a Crab / Guyabano Holiday

Author: Taiiku Podcast January 4, 2023 Duration: 42:18
Sports takes on a lot less meaning when stuff like what happened to Damar Hamlin happens. How many times has something similar happened on high school fields? D-II schools? And no one ever heard about it. Prayers to Damar Hamlin; hoping for the best. This episode, Helen and Apryll are not with me, but Ink and Patz are and they are talking about two panpanya manga from Denpa, An Invitation from a Crab and Guyabano Holiday. An Invitation from a Crab credits: Translator: Ko Ransom Production: Nicole Dochych Guyabano Holiday credits: Translator: Ko Ransom Proofreading: Patrick Sutton Production: Nicole Dochych, Brandon Bovia The song you heard in the episode is "People are Strange" by The Doors. As always, you can find me on Twitter @taiikumenco, 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 and Awko Tako. Join the unofficial Taiiku Podcast discord, which by extension is the unofficial Manga In Your Ears discord, the OSMCast discord. You can find my guests Patz (@PatzPrime) and Ink (@ink_just_ink) at the different places on those parenthesis. Or at Ani-Gamers, as they say. Ink's audio is a little weird, I assume due to like 90+ percent of my RAM being used for no reason while we were recording. Apologies. Listen Show notes: 1:12 - We talk about An Invitation from a Crab 29:03 - We talk about Guyabano Holiday Next time is actually Embrace Your Size and Akane-banashi.

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.
