The Gay Who Turned Kaiju / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

The Gay Who Turned Kaiju / Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

Author: Taiiku Podcast September 6, 2023 Duration: 30:20
The Chicago White Sox surprisingly fired Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn, one of which had been in charge of baseball operations for like 20 years, and then disappointingly hired their number three, Chris Getz, to replace them. All that's on Getz's resume is a bottom five farm system and concerning hires due to myriad character issues. All that to say I am now a lifelong Mariners fan. This episode, we're talking about Kazuki Minamoto's The Gay Who Turned Kaiju published by Yen Press as our completed series. Then, we talk about Kanehito Yamada (story) and Tsukasa Abe's (art) Frieren: Beyond Journey's End published by Viz.

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.
