My Solo Exchange Diary 2 / Yuri Is My Job!

Author: Taiiku Podcast June 23, 2022 Duration: 37:58
I am begging the White Sox to win a normal baseball game. I am hoping Lucas Giolito will pitch better for the rest of the season. What is happening to this cursed team. This episode, we're (accidentally) revisiting Nagata Kabi's My Solo Exchange Diary (listen to our first episode here) published by Seven Seas. Then we're talking about Miman's Yuri Is My Job! published by Kodansha. Support the workers' of Seven Seas effort to unionize on Twitter and on their website.

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 volume 1 of Yuri Is My Job! over at The OASG. Listen Show notes: 1:42 - We talk about My Solo Exchange Diary 18:53 - We talk about Yuri Is My Job! Next time is Joy and Blue Box.

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.
