These are good to watch, on Damar Hamlin, who I mentioned in the panpanya episode's opening notes: (debatable) with Pablo Torre and Domonique Foxworth, Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny with Domonique Foxworth, Garrett Bush on Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. This episode, we're talking about hara's Embrace Your Size: My Own Body Positivity published by Yen Press and Yuki Suenaga (story) and Takamasa Moue's (art) Akane-banashi published by Viz. Embrace Your Size credits: Translation: Athena and Aletha Nibley Lettering: Chiho Christie Akane-banashi credits: Translation: Stephen Paul Lettering: Snir Aharon The song you heard in this episode was "Like a Girl" by Lizzo. 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.

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.
