The Promised Neverland / Love me for who I am

The Promised Neverland / Love me for who I am

Author: Taiiku Podcast August 19, 2020 Duration: 35:15
Clippers won their first game of the playoffs, and I am extremely here for Clippers playoff basketball, but especially those Kawhi 4 Bounces shoes. This episode, we're talking about Kaiu Shirai (writer) and Posuka Demizu's (art) The Promised Neverland in a SPOILERCAST, published by Viz. Then we talk about Kata Konayama's Love me for who I am, published by Seven Seas! You can listen to the previous time we talked about The Promised Neverland too. The song you heard at the top of the episode was "Touch off" by UVERworld. And at the end was "Zettai Zetsumei" by Cö shu Nie. Both from The Promised Neverland anime. 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: 0:44 - Sorry for talking about Act Age. 2:22 - We talk about The Promised Neverland! Light spoilers abound. 8:11 - Full in spoilers on The Promised Neverland. 22:27 - We talk about Love me for who I am! Next time, Patz and Grant join me to talk about One Piece!

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.
