Little Miss P / Blue Period

There are now two NWSL teams withing reasonable distance of me, and I've shamefully seen neither of them just yet. Hoping to correct that next month. Also I wish the sponsor on the Angel City shirts was not DoorDash because fuck those companies. This episode, we're talking about Ken Koyama's Little Miss P published by Yen Press and Tsubasa Yamaguchi's Blue Period published by Kodansha.

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 and Awko Tako. Read Helen's review of volumes 1 and 2 of Blue Period over at The OASG.

But they typically run pretty good deals if you seek them out.
