Inside Mari

Author: Taiiku Podcast February 6, 2023 Duration: 43:24
Chelsea just spent like £1b on a lot of players to make like an amalgam of a team that doesn't know how to all play and meld together, but hopefully it'll work? This episode, special guests Basil (@itsbasiltime) and Ruby (@PassionTentacle) join me to talk about Shuzo Oshimi's Inside Mari published by Denpa. Inside Mari credits: Translator: Sheldon Drzka Proofreading: Ed Chavez (volumes 1-7), Emily Martha Sorensen, Patrick Sutton (volumes 8-9) Production: Nicole Dochych, Eduardo Manuel Chávez 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. Listen to Chris, Patz, and I talk about other Shuzo Oshimi manga. Listen to Chris, Ink, and Jared talk about Flowers of Evil. You can also find Basil at his podcast, the OSMCast.

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.
