Boy Meets Maria / The Way of the Househusband

Boy Meets Maria / The Way of the Househusband

Author: Taiiku Podcast February 26, 2022 Duration: 29:48
MLB is in a lockout because the billionaire owners don't want to give any inch to players that, for the most part, do not and will never make millions. They can afford it. This episode, we're talking about PEYO's Boy Meets Maria published by Seven Seas. Then we talk about Kousuke Oono's The Way of the Househusband published by Viz. Spoiler alerts for Boy Meets Maria through that discussion. And trigger warnings for sexual assault on a minor.

I used a different version from the linked version though. 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: 1:26 - We talk about Boy Meets Maria 14:48 - We talk about The Way of the Househusband Next time is Suki and My Dress Up Darling.

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.
