Manga Plus: The Sign of Abyss / Spotless Love: This Love Cannot Be Any More Beautiful / Hina Change / Curtain’s up, I’m off

Author: Taiiku Podcast July 18, 2020 Duration: 46:40
Given that there are three sports leagues trying to do bubbles in Florida, the hotspot of COVID in the entire world, does not bode well for the start of the NBA and WNBA, nor the continuation of MLS, but hopefully they can all get through the entire seasons without any cases and without any casualties. At least NWSL appears to be in full swing and doing very well, so I continue to be hopeful. MLB though... This episode, we're doing a special Manga Plus episode where we sample four fairly short series of the free app / website. First is Maya Takamura's The Sign of Abyss. Second is Otaro Maijo (story) and Arata Momose's (art) Spotless Love: This Love Cannot Be Any More Beautiful. Third is Gaku Kajikawa's Hina Change. And finally is Akitaka Imakoshi's Curtain's up, I'm off. I used a lot of songs in this episode, so here it goes. The Eagles' "Hole in the World," Phoebe Bridgers' "Killer," Janelle Monae's "Screwed," and Run River North's "Lying Beast." 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: 0:45 - We talk about The Sign of Abyss! 13:23 - We talk about Spotless Love! 20:33 - We talk about Hina Change! 28:03 - We talk about Curtains up, I'm off! Next time is Nodame Cantabile and Act Age!

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.
