Mars / Manly Appetites

Mars / Manly Appetites

Author: Taiiku Podcast June 24, 2021 Duration: 33:16
The Clippers are yet again down 0-2 in a seven game playoff series, and they're still without Kawhi and the Suns' floor general is about to return. I am not optimistic, and I will be very sad if they end up not even winning a game and especially if they lose the series. Content warning for this episode: The Mars section has talks of suicide, parental abuse, rape, and other general mental health issues. This episode, we're talking about Fuyumi Soryo's Mars formerly published by Tokyopop and currently published by Kodansha digitally, and Mito's Manly Appetites: Minegishi loves Otsu. The song you heard this episode was "Horse with No Name" by America. 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: 0:56 - We talk about Mars! 9:47 - Mars spoiler section! 22:07 - We talk about Manly Appetites! Next time is Eniale and Dewiela and Boys Run the Riot!

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.
