Author: Taiiku Podcast August 29, 2024 Duration: 38:58
The Seattle Mariners won a series against the Rays, and the game today power behind Victor Robles, Julio Rodríguez, and Randy Arozarena. Just as we all thought at the beginning of the year. This episode, we're talking about Atsuko Asano (story) and Hinoko Kino's (art) No. 6, published by Kodansha. Then we talk about KamenTotsu's Baby Bear's Bakery, published by Denpa.

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.
